of. Here is what President Mell of Clemson College reported to the Legislature: AS ENGLAND SEES US. It is gratifying to note that th'e agent sent out by the Economic association of Manchester, England, a few months ago to examine the condition of cotton growing throughout the South, makes the following report on|the conditions as he found them in South Carolina. “I find that the best farmers, the most systematic and by far the most thrifty and economical administration of the farm is unquestionably to be found in South Carolina. Here the cultivation of the soil is regarded as a lifetime pursuit, and in the majority of instances I found the farmer, whether landlord or tenant, a close student of the branches of science which enable him to know the wants of the soil and the proper means of supplying these wants. The Clemson Agricultural College has been a real blessing to the farmers of South Carolina. Under its tutorage, young men have discovered that the cultivation of the soil is the noblest, and by far the most profitable, occupation they can enjoy.” Have You Seen This?
