EXTENSION WORK OF CLEMSON COLLEGE. WHAT IS BEING DONE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE FARMERS OF THE STATE. Clemson College, April 18:?From the date of its establishment Clemson College has been getting into shape to fulfill its primary duty of educating tne Doys 01 uus ouuc m agricultural and engineering pursuits. The fact is recognized that there are many boys destined to follow agriculture in after life, and many men in the State actually engaged in farming who could be helped and benefited by carrying to them the scientific facts of agriculture. The regeneration of the State from an agricultural standpoint is too slow when we depend only upon the agricultural graduate. In order to hasten this process and to increase the usefulness of the college and to extend its benefits to the greatest number, the board established in the agricultural department the division of extension work and farmers' institutes. The men of this division have nothing to do with the teaching in the college, but are to give their whole time to helping the farmers of the State. J The force of this division consists of a superintendent, a specialist in dairying, a specialist in general animal husbandry and a specialist ^ in rural school agriculture. Jhese form the basis of a permanent in, stitute corps and it is planned to hold a number of institutes at such times; as the farmers will be at leisure to attend. It is intended that the majority of these institutes shall be held in the rural districts where they will be able to reach those v most in need of them. In addition to their work in institutes these men will select a few farmers scattered over the State, i who are interested in their special line of work, whom they will visit regularly and suggest to them improved methods. They will act, as - J?- ? ?- Aonc. it were, as advisory pioaiuan, ing an accurate record to be kept cf all operations and results and finally publishing these in bulletin form for the information of others. Possibly the most important man in this force is the specialist in rural school agriculture. It will be his purpose to encourage the teaching of agriculture in our rural sch x>ls. To this end he will select a ; ?'W rural schools and visit them regularly, giving agricultural instruction to the children. In addition he will also meet the teachers in their various organizations and by pointing out subjects and methods, encourage them to teach agriculture themselves. But it is not intended that his extersion shall be confined to the efforts of four men. Every man in the college and especially in the agricultural department and experis ment station will be called upon to heip in the good work. Each paper in the State will be | supplied once a week with a short I article by some member of the fatuity, giving useful information to the farmers on some pertinent subject, thus, as it were, supplying a good reading course. J "F!l *? ?' ? ~ ie me engineering ucpm uncuv .o now preparing a bulletin giving a number of plans and specifications for the huilding of the simpler rv^a! school houses and stands ready to advise, not only along theselines, , but regarding all farm buildings. Eventually a number of short courses will be established at the college, so that those who have time can spend a few weeks here, thus getting the benefit of the superior teaching facilities. A summer windup institute, or congress, to last the ^ 'Ua /?AL pnrt ox n wcck upun tuc wi-? lege grounds will be the clincher to each year's work. To sum up, then, Clemson College is virtually throwing her doors open to every farmer and citizen of the State. She proposes doing this: By holding one hundred or more institutes over the State, By visiting in person the farms of the State and advising with i their owners. By sending her representative into the schools and encouraging the teaching of agriculture to those boys and girls who may not be able to attend college. By editing a reading course for farmers to be published in every paper in the State. By establishing short agricultural courses for farmers. By assisting in the betterment of rural schools and farm buildings. By holding a summer farmers' congress once a year, thus fringing together for instruction and the exchange of ideas the best and most progressive farmers of the j State. Up to the present the Superintendent of the Extension Divison has been alone in this work. During the time from last November until the present he has, with some assistance, held sixty-three institutes attended by over five thousand farmers. Many of these instii tutes, though conducted by but one man, lasted from three to four hours. D M Barrow, Superintendent Extension Work. Watch For The Comet The Red Dragon of the sky.
