Roy Funderburk Writes to Corn
Club Boys

NiuD Dogs
Clemson College, S. C'-Dear
Friends of Chesterfield county.
After having taken a short
course of four weeks at Glenn
son Agricultural College, want
to write a few lines to the Corn
Club boys who did not have the
opportunity of being here
and especially to the boys of
my community, and tell them
some of the many advantages
we have here.
We have four lessons a day
and one hour for military drill.
We have had many good lee
lures and have learned much
about soil. fertilizers crops, cat
tie, hogs, plants diseases, animal
diseases, dairying, orchard work,
insects and many other things.
We have had some good picture
shows, and a fine time in the
swimming pool at the Y. NJ. G.
A. We visited the college farms
and saw the crops there, also the
the experiment station and the
new crops and new methods
they are trying out there. We
visited also the dairy and horse
barns, the creamery, the hog
experiments, and saw many in
terestine things at each place.
We all like IT fine, but few
of the boys have had to walk
extras and carry a big gun be-
cause of some of their little
pranks.
Clemson College started in
1889 and is now far ahead of
any other agricultural school in
the South, and is steadily and
rapidly growing.
There are seventy-five boys
who have taken advantage of
the short summer course. Il
think | speak for all when say
it has been the most profitable
month we have eyer spent. 1t
makes us see the efforts that we
have put forth are to advantage,
and also to see the great posi-
bilities there are for profitable
farming.
To the parents l would say, if
it is possible for you to send
your boys to an agricultural
school do so, for you can not
realize the advantage it will be,
not only to them but to you and
to the country. And if You send
your boys to any agricultural
school, send them to Clemson
Agricultural College.

Should the Strike Come

1t the railroad strike comes it
will not be a halfway affair. 1t
is probable that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad would operate
its trains in a way, that company
being equipped with a reserve
force and having the voluntarily
offered services of a number EN-
ployes in all branches, but on all
other railroads the would be
a complete stoppage of wheels.
The Government has no con-
troll over labor and it would be
powerless to enforce the run
ming of mail trains. The rail
roads contract with the Govern
ment for the transportation of
the mails and in turn contract
with their employees for running
the trains carrying the mails.
In response to any demand that
the Government might make
for the fulfillment of this con-
tract the railroad managers could
only make answer that the men
are on strike and it is impossi-
bic to move the mails. During
the period of the enforcement
of the strike the country would
be cut off from rail tranporta-
ton of any kind. The postof-
fices would have only local
business to attend to; the news
papers could not reach out-of
town subscribers except by au-
tomobile or other improvised
service; merchants could not Sc
cure freight of any kind and
would be unable to replenish
any line of stock upon which
they have railroad dependence.
The brotherhoods might have
consideration enough to give a
weeks notice that the public
might make that much prepara-
ton against the blockade and
give people away from home
opportunity to make the home
port before the running of trains
should cease. But the strike
once ordered it would be on N
its completest shape. The rait.
road managers would adopt the
only recourse open to them.
They would simply abide the
consequences of total tiesup.
How long would the strike last
and how would it be broken are
questions not easily. answered.
1t is possible that the railroads,
not being faced with the alterna
tive of Government ownership,
might be able to resume busi-
ness partially, at least, within
less than a week, but it is a
question if the managers of the
roads would feel justified in ma
king any attempt to readjust
traffic with no guarantee that
once again having brought their
trains into service they would be
free from renewal of the trou-
BILE. In case of the stoppage of
trains it is the public that will
have to pay.-Charlotte Observ-
er.

at his saw mill one day last week
when the steam pipe broke and
let the steam escape with a loud
