Speake, president of Lan der College, today announced the start of the institution’s $1,000,00C Endowment and Development Pro gram, a state-wide movement which will continue until the end of March. - Success of the program, Dr Speake stated, will provide the col lege with an endowment of $500,- 000 and an additional $500,000 for expansion of physical facilities and improvement of the present plant to meet the requirements of the growing student body. It will also qualify Lander for full member ship in the Southern Association of Colleges. The building needs of the college include a new admin istration building, an infirmary, a library and alterations to present structures. The college already has a credit of $250,000 toward its goal, the president explained. The remainder of the amount will be sought from the membership of the two Meth odist conferences of South Caro lina, the alumnae body, the citizens of Greenwood and friends of the college everywhere. Dr. Speake stated, in part: “The $1,000,000 program under taken today is intended to make Lander secure for all time and to establish Greenwood as one of the strongest educational centers of the Southeast. “The movement was inaugurated to meet the growing needs of the rapidly expanding student body and to make possible still higher standards in our work of building noble young womanhood on the basis of Christian education. “Lander, with 501 students, to day has the largest enrollment of any privately supported girls’ col lege in South Carolina. Enroll ments, in fact, have doubled in the last five years and at present all available space on the campus is occupied. “George W. Williams and asso ciates, who organized and directed the $500,000 program for Newberry College, the $350,000 program for Erskine College and other success ful campaigns in South Carolina, have been engaged to organize and direct the Lander program.” Lander College was founded by Dr. Samuel Lander in 1872 as Wil- liamston Female College, at Wil- liamston, S. C. A few years later the South Carolina Methodist Con ference took over the institution and in 1904 it was moved to Green wood and given its present name.

Clemson, Jan. 4.—“It now looks' as if the demand for farm products is on the up grade, because of the prospects of sustained industrlai activity; and if this materialises it means that good farmers stand a fair chance of making some profit and‘poor farmers of losing less than usual”, says D. W. Wat kins, director of the Extension Ser vice, in a New Year message to South Carolina farm people and citizens generally. “But it also means that what farmers buy will', probably be higher in price, hence' that this is a time to live better by producing more of the thing§ need ed on the farm”, he adds. “In South Carolina there are certain advantages which being fully used will help mightily in. meeting some of the grave prob lems of the next decade”, Mr. Wat kins points out. These briefly stated are: 1. Our adequate rainfall under- average conditions renders diversi fication and high yields per acre possible. 2. The nature of our soil is such, that though depleted and washed. it is capable of being rebuilt to a. degree of high fertility through good farming. 3. The tendency toward cheaper nitrates. Since so much fertilizer is used in this region and so little in some competing areas, lower cost of fertilizers puts our agricul ture in a stronger competitive po sition. 4. The development of improved transportation both by rail and highway, together with the indus trial development of this regioiv brings farms into a better market relationship to consuming centers. 5. The quality of cotton produced in South Carolina is superior to that of most areas outside the Miss Ethel and Sallie May Me Daniel were dinner guests Sunday delta regions.
