Clemson College, May 16.-Spe cial: I am now preparing the list of places at which to hold Farmers' In stitutes during this summer. lt is planned to hold a large number of these Institutes during July and Au gust, and the endeavor will be to cover the whole State pretty thor oughly. It. is thought best that the majority of these Institutes shall be held In tho rural districts, at school or church centers, rather than in county seats or towns, lu order that I ma ? plan the work effectively and economically, I will be glad to hear, not later than the first of June, from all communities desiring to have one of these institutes. An excellent body of institute workers-men who can give practi cal as well as theoretical Instruction - will be available for this work, and snell a campaign will doubtless be of much benefit. Hy notifying me of their desire for an institute by the above date the various communities will not. only fact li ta le my work of arranging them, but will assure themselves of securing an inst!'ute, as after the dates are once arranged it will be dllllcult to rearrange thom to accom modate the laggard.
