The world is looking for 1.000 horseiiower men and Is willing to pay for them. Already there is a surplus of tl»e one horsepower variety. A College education Is no longer a luxury of the rich, but more a necessity of the |MMir boy whose itan-nts can give him little or nothing to start on.

Back In the '80'a. the advocates of Agricultural and Indus trial Education promised that If given the tax of 25c per ton on the commercial fertilisers sold in the State, the Trustees would organize not only an efficient system of Inspection and analysis to protect the farmers from imposition in the purchase of their main commodity, but with what remained after paying the cost of this pr< tectlon, would build and operate a Collega During the history of the College, the tag tax ha* averaged 1116,24".82. For ihe past three fiscal years it has averaged 1838.958.62. The Legislature of South Carolina makes no / V ’% appropriation for Clemson College. In addition to the fertilizer tax, the College receives from the Fed eral Treasurer $25,000 annually, and a small amount cofnes from tui tion and interest on the Clemson and l^indscrlpt Funds. The South Carolina Experiment Station Is supported entirely by funds from the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, and has no part in the College work. Cldinson’s Public Service \ AGRirn.TVHAL HALL V out.of the fertilizer tax only about $130,000 Is expended upon the College. Nearly $100,000 annually represents the cost of public serv ice rendered to the farmers. This public work include*' not only the fertilizer Inspection and analysis, but veterinary and entomological In^ spectlon, cattle tick and hog cholera eradication, branch experiment stations, scholarships, cooperative experiments, extension and demon stration work, etc. The College offleers write nearly 35,000 letters every year giving specific Information, and send out Gnarly half a million bulletins and circulars. A higher standard for commercial fertilizers Is maintained In South Carolina than in any other Southern State. The inspection and analy sis carried on by the College Insures the attainment of that standard. The farmer, even If he and not the manufacturer pays the tax of 25c per ton, gets value received many times over in the Increased value of his fertilizers. In addition, a great Agricultural and Mechanical College has been built up worth over a million and a third dollars, enrolling annually nearly 850 young men, and demanding no appro priations from the State Treasury for Its support.
