Dec. 12.?Clemson college, South Carolina's State Insti tution devoted largely to the promo tion of the agricu?ural interests, has offered a new course to farmers which should fill an important place in the economy of the common wealth. A four weeks' term during the month of January is to be tho medium by which the leaven of scientific farm ing Is to be more widely distributed In this State. Work in various uepart tnents of agriculture will be offered at a nominal fee of $10, which will in clude all expenses for board and room. This is the third year In which the plan has bee" tried and the lirsi two efforts have proved very successful. The course will begin January 3, 1913, and will last for the rest of the month. The details of the course are given as follows in the South Carolina ex periment station bulletin No 97: "It Is nn established fact that the farm can no longer be run success *ully In the old time haphazard fash ion. Science and brains skilfully ap plied to farming so Increase the yield and Improve Its quality as to make some knowledge of the underlvlnc principles of scientific farming essen tial to the farmer of todiy. WhMe It Is reallted that the four year course is none too long to give a boy the foun dation which will insure success in farming, it Is also clearly seen that there are many practical farmers who have neither the time nor the means to devote four years to a college j course and who would be greatly ben efited by a few weeks spent at college. To meet such a demand the college of. fers a short course of four weeks dur ing the month of January. This course in agriculture Is a practical course In farming and Is meant for farmers. It would aid the man who wants to farm on a business basis and who desires to get larger returns for his labor. "The entire resources of the col lege are at the service of the short course students. This In Itself Is a liberal education. In their work they may utilize the new barns, the finest in the South; the new dairy building: the experiment station grounds: the college farm; the horticultural plant; the various laboratories of the agri cultural departme.it. and the general libraries. They are also Invited to take part in any student activities ic. which they care to engage. January 3, 1913, Inaugurates the beginning of the third session for short course stu dents. The first two years of this course proved unusually successful. All who have taken the short course agree that It has paid them many fold. "The work will consist of the fol lowing subjects: Animal husbandry, seven hours per week; dairying, three hours pe." week; soil types and soil management, five hours per week; fer tilizers, four hours per week; tarm machinery, four hours per week; hor ticulture, three hours per week; veter inary science, two hours per week; rtudy of 'njurious Insects and h.?w to control them, two hours per week; plant disease?, two hours tier week: and cotton grading, four hours per week.
