seat a meeting will be held and there
will be addresses on the two topics

was announced that such day
would be held the latter part of De-
cember. Mr.. Long, saw however,
that unexpected increases in the bur
dens of the organization were going
to make necessary the postponement
of this occasion. Just at that time,
also, there began to pour into va
rious offices at Clemson College re-
| quests for information about what
fertilizers to use under present alb
normal conditions. Farmers by the
hundreds have been seeking infor-
nation from the college on the fer
tilizer practices to be followed in
1915. The demand became so largN
that Prof. J. N. Harper, dean of the
agricultural department, prepared a
special bulletin on the subject and
copies of this bulletin, Extension
Bulletin B, are to be had upon ap-
; plication to the extension division.
Because of the conditions existing

combine it at later date with d
