The agricultural short course for boys will be held at Clemson College this year from July 12th to 22d, in clusivo. AU boys who were members of the corn, pig or cowpea clubs dur ing the year 1920 or during the pres ent yoar are eligible to attend. They will be charged $12 for the twelve days, for 'board and tuition. The two winnora in the Corn Club last year, Raymond White, of South Union, and Lloyd 'Bell, of Plat Shoals, are entitled to free scholar ships this yoar. Tho two who make "? the highest scores this year will get free scholarships next year. All other club boys who possibly can should arrange to go this year. This is a groat opportunity tor boys ^ to got a tasto of college life; to get instruction from tho professors j there ;to get well acquainted with the work of the college; to enlarge their vision at a very important point in their lives, and to Are in thom en thusiasm to complete their oduca Q ti on. Our State Agricultural College is right hero within your borders easily acce/dble and ready to receive you, the club boy, along with the hundreds of other boys of your age and training from throughout the State. Last yoar Louie Brandt, of Blue Ridgo, took tho course, earned his money to pay for it, and this year is enthusiastic about going back for anothor course. Ile carno very near .getting on tho vtock judging team which went to Atlanta last fall to ^ compete for the free trip to the Royal Livestock 'Show at London. England. The boys will compete for tho trip ibis year. Will you be one of them? If you are planning to go, write the County Agent. Barker's Now Clover. Those who travel along the road between Walhalla and Westminster will notice, just beyond the Barker residence, an old cabin on the oppo site side of tho road, with some big plants growing around it, resem p hiing weeds. This is a patch of sweet clover-iMeliotus Alba. Some years ago the seed wore sont here from Oklahoma. Little more was thought about tho plants. Now they are from four to six feet tall, growing on a red f gullied hillside. The agronomist at Clemson. Prof H lack well,, writes as follow.: regard ing this sweet clo\et : "it growa very aattsfaetorllj tu most any part of the Piedmont soc lion ul ?30nth Carolina, and is a good soil-buildng crop. It is inocu , lated with the same bactoria which inoculates alfalfa. If inoculated it is a valuable crop for poor hillsides as a soil-builder. "If it is planted thickly and cut at the right time it makes a good qual ity of hay. Howover, stock have to j *f be taught to oat it, as very few stock like sweet clover naturally. Once horses and cattle are starved into eating lt, they learn to Uko it. and usuallly do well on it. The stems are rather coarse if allowed to grow old U of if too thinly seeded." "I would advise you to encourage the planting of it. By distributing tho seed over pastures, waste ground and gullied hillsides and roadsldos, it will be worth much as a forerun ner of alfalfa and as a soil-builder." Ito Believes. While In Anderson one day last week Inspecting clover, alfalfa and vetch demonstrations with the county agent, Mr. Byars, we visited the noted farm of Wade Drake. An old field, which had formerly had gullies in it \argo enough to bury a small house In, was planted half in corn and velvet, beans and half in vetch. I asked Mr. Drake what an-? swor he would give a farmer who said ho would plant velvet beans in his corn, hut lt pulled the corn down. Mr. Drake answered. "I would get rid of the corn." which shows how firmly he believes in the great value of velvet benns ns a soil builder. Ooo. R. Briggs, County Agent. Notos from Walhalla Route ?2.
