S. Prevost, extension bee specialist. The course of study, the county agent states, will be centered a- round the general management of the beeyard with full discussions about bee work for each season of the year. The instructional work will be done by Mr. Prevost an;l Professor David Dunavan of Clem son, and A. V. Dowling, Georgia state bee inspector. One of the main features of tha course will be the grading and attractive packing of honey. This, the county agent points out, is an important matter for South Caro lina beekeepers, most of whom, have had little or no experience in grading honey. The result, the agent says, is that nearby state? sell considerable honey in Sout'i Carolina because their honey i? well graded and attractively packaged. For beekeepers who are also in terested in poultry the occasion offers a double opportunity, say? the county agent, since the annual poultry short course at Clemson comes at the same time, runnin y three days, August 22-24. The county agent states that these short courses at Clemson. can be attended with very littl expense other than travel. Room in the dormitories are free an' meals may be had at various eat ing places on the campus at very moderate prices. For Best Prices on Cattle, Hogs, and Calves, see J. L. | Smitli, McCormick, S. C.
