WHAT CLEMSON PROPOSES.
Cooperative Creamery Plan Ought
to Appeal to Our Farmers.

Editor Keoweo Courier: The CO.
operative creamery plan, proposed b.
Clemson College, is simply the effort
of Clemson College to make it posi-
bic for the ordinary farmer with
small means to secure an all-the-
year-round market for his surplus
cream at profitable prices, with the
least possible outlay of expense to
him.
The dairy business is the most ma
tural and most profitable adjunct to
successful diversified farming. The
dairy COW not only brings some ready
family and farm expenses, but she
furnishes very valuable by-product.
in the skinned milk. to make hog
raising profitable; she affords a
home market for the food crops made
on the farm, and adds a lot Of valu
able manure to cut down the fertili-
make what cotton he wants to make
with less expense and greater profit.
One Of the main reasons why keep
ing milk COWS has not hitherto been
probable in his section is the fact
that a profitable and reliable market
has not been available for the ordi-
nary farmer. Clemson College pro-
poses to overcome this difficulty by
guaranteeing to the farmer an all
the-year-round market for all the
cream that he can furnish, and at a
profitable price. Another difficulty
that has deferred farmers from going
into the dairy business is the expense
of equipment. The college proposes
to overcome this difficulty by placing
their well-cquippcd creamery at the
service of the farmer without charge
All that is needed to take advant-
age of this scheme is three or four
COWS to furnish the milk, and a sep
arator to get the cream out. The
college proposes, where they can get
enough Of COWS in one community to
justify it, to start cream wagon to
go around and collect the cream
They are offering to bring profita-
BILE, all-the-year-round market to
your own door for all the cream you
will furnish them. |. T.. w.

CLEMsONITE Defends CLEMSON
Replies to MIR. Earle's Letter In The
Courier Last Week.

Editor Keowee Courier: In your
last weeks issue there appeared a
letter from Elias Earle, of Town

Dr. Riggs, president of Clemson, for
saying that it would, in all probabil-
ity, We necessary to Curtail some of
the work Clemson is doing in order
to avoid 2 deficit. Mr.. Earle con-
tends that this is in line with his
charge that Clemson was spending
recklessly money that should go for
other purposes.
AS one of the many Clemson men,
| wish to say that DR.. Riggs is a
master hand when it comes to eXeCu-
tive ability: and it has been source
OF pride to Clemson's graduates, as
we'll as her friends, to note the re-
markable progress that the institu-
ton has made during his successful
administration. Studying conditions
as they appear at this time, DR..
Riggs is right when he says it will
be necessary to curtail, for the sale
Of commercial fertilizers is not apt to
be very heavy, and Clemson's income
will be materially lessened. And we
Clemson men as a whole regret that
Clemson Will find herself handicap
ped for the present, but again en-
press our confidence in DR.. Riggs
ability to do as good a work as pos
siblc with what income it may de
rive under the existing circum-
stances.
OF what should Oconce be proud
if not Of Clemson College? The idea
that Clemson has so much money Is
wrong. The work Of Clemson needs
no praise at my hands; it speaks for
itself. But when YOU consider the
