Of Interest to Our Farmers
We 'are jublishing below a
letter which we believe will-be of
great interetto the farmers of
Pickens county. . e more
than glad t6 Ive ;4*ce .to this
letter'because we be ieve it will
be of benefitto our readers, most
of whom are farmersA--the men
who feed the world. Clemson
college could be of more benefit
to the people if.-the people them
selves would obly take advantage
of the opportunities the college
offers. Every farmer who uses
fertilizer contributes to the main
tenance of Clemson college and
it Is up to our farmers to get
more benefit from this institu
tion. The faimers of Pickens,
Oconee and Anderson counties
have a better chance to benefit
from it than the people of any
other county, because the college
is located in these three counties
and therefore easy for our peo
pie to visit. The following letter
is self-explanatory:
Editor Pickens Sentinel: We
believe that the location of Clem,
son college in the corner made
by the intersection of Anderson,
Oconee and Pickens counties
ought to make the college es
pecially valuable as a source of ]
help and information to the
farmers of these three counties.
Many of them, it is true, take
advantage of these opportunities
frequently, but the majority of
the farmers of Anderson, Oconee
and Pickens a r e practically
strangers at the agricultural
college.
I can understand some of the
reasons for this. The farmers
know this is a big institution
and most of them would be un
certain as to where to go for
their help and information after I
they reached the college. More
over, they do not know a. great
many of the people here.
It is my opinion that the farm
ers of the three "home counties"
of Clemson College should make
proper use of the opportunities
lying at their doors and should
make it a point to use the re
sourses of this institution when
ever they need them.
Accordingly, I have advised
our farm demonstration agents
in Anderson, Oconee and Pick
ens counties to set aside one day
in each month, on which day
they are to come to Clemson
College and bring with them all
farmers who may desire to come.
These county agents, two of
whom are graduates of Clemson
and the other of whom is fa
miliar with conditions here, will
be able to conduct the farmers
about the college, pointing out
to them various experiments
andi taking them to the proper
pliaces to get the informatioil
they may dlesire. All farmers
who have problems they desire
solved1 for them should try to
come with their county agent on
these monthly visits to Clemson
College. D~r. Riggs will be very
glad1 to furnish dinner to the
farmers at the small cost of 25
cents each.
I should be glad1 to have you
publish this letter in order that
those farmers who are readers of
your paper may be advised of
this plan. Respectfully,
W. W. LONG,
State Agent and Director of
Extension.
