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.
He sfjit d that he regs ded Mr. Had
don S4 one of the best men in his
