CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 1.-The
chief event Of the week was the con-
Terence OF the farm demonstration
agents held from Tuesday till Satur-
day under the leadership of Prof W.
w. Long. and attended by every agent
except one, very many of which
agents are old Clemson men. To the
old Clemson men the weeks visit was
especially enjoyable. since they re-
newed many old acquaintance and
lived over many interesting exper-
fences. The visit of these old men
was very delightful to the memberS of
the faculty and to the students as
we'll. Agricultural students of the
junior and senior classes attended
these meetings largely and benefited
by them greatly. The most interest
ing meeting held perhaps was that
which was attended by the editors of
the daily papers Of the State. A mem
Der of the faculty who came from q
distant State said that he was surpris-
ed at the brightness and unusual in
selligence Of the editors and their
youthful appearance.
