CERTIFICATES OF MERIT
TO HEYWARD AND GERATY

Clemson College, June 10 For
the past S or 6 years Clemson col
lege has followed the custom of
awarding at commencement certifi-
Gates of merit to two South Carolin-
ians who have done noteworthy work
in some line of agricultural endeav-
or. This year the certificates were
awarded to Ex-Governor D. C. Hey
ward and Mr.. John w. Geraty. The
following extracts from the recon-
mendation made by the agricultural
faculty calls attention to the fine
work done by these promoters of ag-
ricultural development.
"This honor is conferred upon ex-
Governor Hayward for the work ne
has done in reclaiming the rice lands
and in utilizing them for general ag-
|ricultural purposes. On portion Of
the reclaimed rice fields at White
Hall, Mr.. Hayward has succeeded in
growing successfully as many as As
different agricultural crops and has
gone far enough with this project to
show very clearly that many Of our
most important truck crops and field
crops can be grown successfully on
these old rice lands"
| s'Mr. John w. Geraty is the son Of
Mr.. James R. Geraty, who it seems
first started the Seeding plant busi-
ness in this section Of the country.
MIR. John w. Geraty has developed
this business and by his progressive
leadership has Re largely response
bic for creating t tremendous plant
business that we have in the south
east today. He grows and sells more
cabbage, tomatoes, beets, peppers,
etc., than any other firm in the
United States and distributes these
all over the United States, Canada,
and Alaska. The development Of the
plant business has, of course, given
trucking and gardening a tremend-
Gus impetus and it is to be consid.
cradle extent responsible for the
great development along these lines
in recent years. It seems, therefore,
entirely proper that the man who has
been the leader in this industry
should be honored in this way by the
college"
