CLEMSON'S O
It 1B very Beldom that I write di
rectly for the paper? in regard to
Clemson college. Full report? ar?
made to the legislature by the tf si
tees, and only from, ?hese Komplet? re
ports can an adequate conception be
formed of the work, plana, hopes und
finances of the cpllege.
However, In the present agrlcultur
al crisis in South Carolina, I believe
that our farmers should bo made to
now In every posslh'o way that their
gricultural college hopes to liva up
fully to Its opportunities and respon
sibilities.
For weeks the Extension Division
of the Agricultural Department, which
Division ls charged with carrying the
benefits, of the college to tho people,
has been planning a campaign of edu
cation to help our farmers In their
operations for the next crop year. Con
ferences of erperts have been held,
posters printed, bulletins and prose ar
ticles prepared. The assistance of
bankers, chambers of commerce, min
isters of the Gospel and others is ber
lng Invoked to carry thc gospel ot help
to our agricultural people. Two
months ago lt was decided to extend
our field teachings to colored as well
as white tenants approaching their
tenants through the landlords,
To this work of demonstration and
dissemination the college last July ap
propriated from its funds $20,880, and
the department of agriculture in Wash
ington $40,000. In addition, 110,000
comes from the lever fund and fV
400 from chambers of commerce, bank-,
ers an others interested In the agri-1
cultural development of the State
This total of $77,280 is spent 2o place
at the service of the farmers the help
and resources of Clemson college and
of the United States department of ag
riculture.
The prosperity of Clemson college
ls directly linked with the agricultur
al prosperity ot the State. The col
lege faces an even more uncertain ana
ominous financial outlook as do our
farmers.
It is a mistake to suppose that the
College has large resources upon
which to draw to increase Its present
contribution of. $20,880 to this particu
lar work. The fertiliser tax ot last
winter was drawn upon to support the
college and carry on the public ser
vice of the fiBcal year which closed on
June 30, 1014. Owing to the unusual
Amount of the money collected, the
college brought forward on July 1,
1914, a balance or $67,182.84. Only
$1,866 baa been received from the fer
tiliser tax since the opening ot this
fiscal year and this added to the above
balance, and about $20,000 from Fed
eral and miscellaneous sources, con
stitutes to date the entire resources of
the college. Usually during the alm
oner and fall months the college ope
rates on borrowed money uni. Febru
ary, March and April dut lng which
uiuu'.iin Ul irai in ilic mg la A. ia vt/??evt
ed. Without the surplus mentioned
above, Ute college might not have been
able 'chis fall to open its doors, became
it is practically impossible to get ad
vances from tba banks.
It coats around $150,000 to operate
the college for a year, and $108,000 to
??jrij on the public work. The cost
af fertiliser inspection and analysis,
scholarships, veterinary Inspection,
etc., which required last year the ex
penditure of $66,816.41, ls required ot
the college by Acts of the legislature
ro ope rato the college efficiently is a
fundamental obligation both in law
md morals.
After making allowance' for the
?alane? brought forward at the be
ginning of the fiscal year, of which
?bout $80,000 was spent on buildings
?nd permanent improvements before
the outbreak of the European war),
md adding fifty thousand receivable

the actual operatlug expenses of the j
presea', ficcal year ending June 30,
191?S.) Kew of us are optimistic
nough' td think thai we can end ttl! 1
year without a deficit, unless wo 1
drop some of the work now required
or tho legislature , makes an appro- |
prlation to carry on nome of the pub- i
lie work which the college is now re
quired to do. To add in one direction
would bo to reduce in another, and 1
hedged in as we are by State laws }
which direct a considerable part of <
our expenditures, such shifts are not <
practicable.
It is difficult to make clear to the <
public that while Clemson college
has large resources, it has to carry ]
large financial burdens aa well. That <
lt ls not only a college bnt a great ?
public service corporation aa well. t
The suggestion that the college
should limit or curtail the educational (
opportunities offered to sons of our *
people in order to divert more money
to a more extensive program' of pub
lic service, would, I believe, meet
with the disapproval of our agricul
tural citizen sh ip. The college has of *
necessity stepped all new work,1 Includ
ing a much heeded infiramary, 'but {
the demand of'her young ,ne>. tor a '
technical education continues and it
must bo met. Already in spite of the '
financial depression the College has
enrolled 738 students, which number
?rill likely be increased to over 800
by the time the enrollment, ia com
pleted by the coming of the One Year
agricultural men on October lat. The '
college bas not advertised any gener-1 *
al policy of giving financial assistance
to ita patrons, because practically all 1
that is paid up by its students for 1
their clothing and other living ezpen- *
ses, and not to swell the revenues of
the institution, as is the case. In most
collogea where where student fees are r
collected. However, I am glad to be *
able to say that no patrons has been
refused financial accomodation, and so
far aa i know, no young man haa been
deprived of an education at Clemson
of inability to make immediate pay
ment. .
In a crisis such as now confronts our
agricultural interests. the 'first re
qulrenuint Is a leader to coordinate
and inspiro all forcea that are work
ing toward tho common end. < The col
lege feels that In Mr. \V W. Long,
Director of Extension, it haa ene of the
best fluted men for bia particular' work
to be found in the nation. We have
no fears but that under his able and
consecrated guidance, the benfits of
the college will be carried to our peo
ple, and made practical and effective
for better farming, better profits and
a larger life.
Out of the present conditions may
come untold support to the teach
ings of our agricultural workers who
for years past have earnestly preach
ed a reduction and moro Intelligent
use of commercial fertilisera, the
waste of money Involved in bpylng
potash for the Piedmont soils, and
above all the advantages of the diver
sified system that will make pas. ag
riculture less, dependent upon cotton
and more dependent upon good farm
ing. The collete believes that its first
duty in to preach a doctrine that ?iii
bring prosperity to our .tannera,
whatever may be tts effect anon the
revenues of the college from the fer
tiliser tax. tue college looks for
ward to a steady reduction of. Ita. in
corns from tala scarce aa tba people
give heed mora ano mora to ad
vice of Its agricultural experts.
The college' can only advise the far
mers what to do. It has no power to
compel .compliance with Its Instruc
tions. It Is hoped, .however, that at
tala critical Juncture they win follow
expert advice as never before. Ii this
habit ia formed, wa will indeed hara
a sliver lining to the present dark
cloud ot agricultural depression.
