PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1956 Plans Announced Farm-Home Week Clemson, July 30.—Printed cop ies of the program for the 1956 Farm and Home week, August 13- 17, reveal that it covers many farm subjects. Dr. M. D, Farrar, Clemsons dean of agriculture, points out that a well-balanced program has been arranged to present the latest in formation and to demonstrate lat est methods and equipment avail able to be used in “Farm and Home Development,” the theme for the week. He says that members of the Clemson staff with the assistance of invited speakers who are out standing in their respective fields will through classroom lectures and laboratory , demonstrations field demonstrations, and tours present the latest information and demonstrate the latest methods on a wide variety of subjects of interest to all members of the family. The large and varied exhibits of latest models and types of farm machinery and farm and home equipment which will be on dis play throughout the week will help to emphasize modern trends in farm and home improvement. Special recreation, entertainment features, and inspirational talks will add to the pleasure of the week. Dr. Farrar suggests that in ad dition to attending the scheduled events Farm and Home week vis itors should take time to see the college farm and experiment sta tion and other interesting places on or near the college campus. He suggests that visitors see the col lege herds of dairy cattle, beef cattle and hogs, the flocks o f chickens and turkeys, the farm crops, pastures, orchards, and vineyards and the land use de velopment project. He explains that these visits will provide an opportunity t o study research work being done in these and other phases of ag riculture and to meet and talk with the research workers and to see how agricultural information fa developed. “Clemson’s new modern agricul tural buildings and dormitories will provide comfortable meeting places and living quarters for farm families and others who come here for the week,” he says. “Fortunately there is very little expense involved in. attending the Farm and Home week; in fact, there is no expense for families who live .close enough to drive in each day and only a very nominal room rental and the actual cost of meals for those who stay in the dormitories,” he adds.
