ton.

Clemson College is offering a
four weeks course in agriculture
and cotton grading. The course
begins July 31st and ends Au-

that one can get what he most
needs. During the first week the
subject of dairying will be taught,
the second week animal husban-
dry, and the third horticulture.
For the last week of the course
agronomy, which includes field
crops, soils, fertilizers, ETC., will
be the chief subject.
A special course for teachers

Four weeks instruction will also
be given the winners in the Boys

the disposal of those taking the
four weeks courses. The farm,
dairy, dairy barn and the labora-

up, according to the fertility of
the soil.
Early applications are coming
into favor. We recommend that
the soda be applied to corn when
it is between knee and waist high,
to cotton just as the shapes begin
to form, and to small grain in
March. Care should be taken not
to SOW nitrate of soda on wet
plants, because it is likely to scald
them. 1t is best to apply it just
after a rain, when the moisture,
had dried off the leaves of the
plants, then cultivate with a
mulch forming implement as soon
as the ground is dry enough to
plow.

A PEN PICTURE OF
CLEMSON COLLEGE
Works for Welfare In Many
Ways.

Picture county estate of 1900
acres, with stately buildings
placed at elevated points to form
a great irregular circle of half a
mile in diameter. Inclose in this
circle a beautiful grove of native
oaks, threaded by smooth drive
walks. Turn to the north and for
a background outline against the
sky at a distance of 20 miles,
range after range of mountains,
the home of the Highlands, of
Casar's Head, Whitesides and
other lofty peaks of the Blue
Ridge. Think of these mountains
as in summer clothed with YER
dure, standing out black against
the horizon, and in winter often
white with snow. Take for the
southern boundary a river of In
dian lineage and follow in its
sweeping crookedness the swift
and turbulent Seneca as it twists
this way and that to mark the
confines of the estate. And to this
setting add broad expanses of
river bottom lands green with
corn, steep hillsides sinuous with
level grassy terraces and cool pas
lures with winding brooks and
graceful shade trees and you have
a picture of Clemson College, not
colored to suit the canvas of an
artist, but as seen every year by
nearly a thousand young South
Carolinians, who seek, amid these
surroundings, an education that
will prepare them for self-respect-
ing, self-supporting citizenship.
A Large Plant.
The college tract contains over
1,5OO acres. On the property
there are % principal public
buildings, 70 dwellings and "a
minor buildings. The college
has in its employ 116 teachers
and officers. It's inventoried prop
erty is $1,327,72s.57. The Of
fcers of the college send out year
ly over $4,000 letters and over
$4,000 other pieces of mail mat
ter, most of which give agricul-
tural information.
In addition to the parent sta
ton, the college maintains two
branch experiment stations
near Summerville and the other
at Florence. One more to be sit
uated in the sand hill sections of
the State, just as soon as funds
will permit, will complete a sys-
tenn representing the principal
soil types of the State.
