X » THE PRESS AND STANDARD WALTERBORO, 8. C DEC 25,1912. O Oreenrille, Dec. 22.—At a meeting of the department of agriculture of the Chamber’ of Commerce held Tuesday afie*T..'-n C. 11 HuddcM, State agent of the boys’ corn club work, waa elected farm demonstra tion agent for Greenville county un der the recently organised plan/Of this organisation to put in the field here an expert who shall devote his entire time to the development of agricultural* methods in this county. Mr. Hadden slgnuloJ Uls ^ilili.p. iws to accept the appointment, auu Jan uary 1 will sever his connection with Clemson college and take up his du ties in Greenville county. ^ The significance of the above facU perhaps may not at first impress the casual reader, and for that reason a brief review of the workings out of the plan of the Chamber of Com merce whereby the farming interests of Greenville county are to be look ed after as never before will not be amiss. Several weeks ago the de partment of the Chamber of Com merce conceived the Idea of employ ing an agricultural expert for Green ville county alone By pledging a fund of 91,000 a year, for two years, to be devoted to the development of agri cultural interests in Greenville coun ty the Chamber of Commerce has a guaranty of 91.000 a year for two years from National Association of Grain Exchanges of Chicago. This fund of 92,000 is to be further slip- plemented by the contributions from the farm extension department > of agriculture of the United States. The expert will serve as special agent for the Chamber of Commerce for this county and will at the same time car ry out whatever work that would be done in this county by Clemson col lege and the agents of the department of agriculture. Expert Is Secured. Having secured the necessary fi nancial support, the department of agriculture of the Chamber of Com merce cast about to find a suitable agent to place In charge of the work • this county. Negotiations were begun with Mr Hadcon of Clemson college, who for the past two years has been State agent for the boys’ corn club work, with the result that he was elected as Greenville farm ex pert. For three years Mr. Haddon has been with Qiemson college, being employed jointly by the college and the department of agriculture of the United States The first year at Clemson college he was assigned to agricultural work in the rural schools of the State, and then he was made State agent for the boy’s corn club work, filling this post tun for two years. The department of ag*i- tute of the Chamber of Commerce considers Itself partlcurarly fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Had don. He has ably demonstrated his ability as a farm expert during the three years he has been With Clem- aon college. The department of agriculture hopes to establish a model demonstra tion farm near the city. Here it is planned to have Mr. Haddon conduct demonstrations of various kinds in the interest of the farmers, at Such times, of course, when he is not en gaged at work in the county. The department will seek to enfourage immigration Into Greenville county, and when a prospective citizen comes to the city he will be taken out to the demonstration farm and shown the agricultural possibilities of Greenville county. The department will also conduct a general informa- •n bureau for the benefit of the farmers. When questions arise to give them the benefit of any Informa- < on on the point that may be avail able. If the deparrment can not itself supply the information efforts will be made to secure the desired information from the national de partment at Washington. Mr. Haddon will spend five dars of the week in the county assisting “ farmers of the county. On Sat urdays he will be in his office in the *y for the purpose of advising with any farmer anu may u.... ..orma- tlon or other asslsta.ice that coifid not be had daring the week, a Cer tain amount of Mr. Haddon'a time will be spent in the schools of the county Instructing the boys in corn club work sn.t the girls in the work A tomato clubs. First of Its Kind. The Greenville ChaAner of Com merce is the first commercial organi- xaation in the State to undertake he employment of an afticultural expert for the county, and naturally tbe officials of the chamber are very much gratified over the prospects of this new arrangement. It will give the farmers of Greenville county an advantage over those of any other • ounty In the State, in that an agri cultural expert will devote his en- •'re time to one county., As It is elsewhere the two to five agents put oitC by Clemson College have the en tire State to look after and conse quently can not devote very much time and attention to auy one a>un- ty. W. I.. English, head of Clemson college extension work expressed the deepest regret upon learning that 9fr. Haddon had decided to sever bis connection -with the Institution.
