In addition to Dr. Long, three other authorities at Clemson college assist ed in a comprehensive year-end sur vey of agricultural conditions. They w'ere Prof. H. W. Barre, director of the experiment station; O. M. Clark, extension ^economist in farm manage ment, and W. C, Jensen, agricultural economist of the experiment station. They pointed out the low prices for faTQu.products, falling off of the de mands ’for these products caused by the business "depression, and other signs of “hard t,imes" hn the farm, and said that something must be done if agriculture is to survive. Dr. Long advised the farmers to first produce more dairy products, poultry, hogs, fruits and garden pro-i duce to meet their home needs and have a surplus to sell. In conjunction with this, he, Mr, Clark and Mr. Jensen urged that the farmers give special attention to the following points:, 1. Efficient and economical meth od? of farming, .lowering costs wher ever possible and keeping the farm mulea>^ tractors and other farm equip ment busy as nearly as possible the year round. 2, Rotation of crops, planting win- j Potperoy & Salmon, a Delaware cor- f "the I is affiliated with Aug- ® ' ust Belmont; and C-ompany, of New York, La liquidate, the affairs >f the Charleston parent bank aYid its 43 branches. - " ^ Total capital stock would he $1,- 760,000.
