EXTENSION WORK
OF CLEMSON COLLEGE.
WHAT IS BEING DONE FOR THE
BETTERMENT OF THE FARMERS
OF THE STATE.
Clemson College, April 18:?From
the date of its establishment Clemson
College has been getting into
shape to fulfill its primary duty of
educating tne Doys 01 uus ouuc m
agricultural and engineering pursuits.
The fact is recognized that
there are many boys destined to
follow agriculture in after life, and
many men in the State actually engaged
in farming who could be
helped and benefited by carrying
to them the scientific facts of agriculture.
The regeneration of the
State from an agricultural standpoint
is too slow when we depend
only upon the agricultural graduate.
In order to hasten this process
and to increase the usefulness
of the college and to extend its
benefits to the greatest number, the
board established in the agricultural
department the division of extension
work and farmers' institutes.
The men of this division
have nothing to do with the teaching
in the college, but are to give
their whole time to helping the
farmers of the State. J
The force of this division consists
of a superintendent, a specialist in
dairying, a specialist in general
animal husbandry and a specialist
^ in rural school agriculture. Jhese
form the basis of a permanent in,
stitute corps and it is planned to
hold a number of institutes at such
times; as the farmers will be at leisure
to attend. It is intended that
the majority of these institutes shall
be held in the rural districts where
they will be able to reach those
v most in need of them.
In addition to their work in institutes
these men will select a few
farmers scattered over the State,
i
who are interested in their special
line of work, whom they will visit
regularly and suggest to them improved
methods. They will act, as
- J?- ? ?- Aonc.
it were, as advisory pioaiuan,
ing an accurate record to be kept cf
all operations and results and finally
publishing these in bulletin form
for the information of others.
Possibly the most important man
in this force is the specialist in
rural school agriculture. It will be
his purpose to encourage the teaching
of agriculture in our rural
sch x>ls. To this end he will select
a ; ?'W rural schools and visit them
regularly, giving agricultural instruction
to the children. In addition
he will also meet the teachers
in their various organizations and
by pointing out subjects and methods,
encourage them to teach
agriculture themselves.
But it is not intended that his extersion
shall be confined to the efforts
of four men. Every man in
the college and especially in the
agricultural department and experis
ment station will be called upon to
heip in the good work.
Each paper in the State will be |
supplied once a week with a short
I article by some member of the
fatuity, giving useful information
to the farmers on some pertinent
subject, thus, as it were, supplying
a good reading course. J
"F!l *? ?' ? ~ ie

now preparing a bulletin giving a
number of plans and specifications
for the huilding of the simpler
rv^a! school houses and stands ready
to advise, not only along theselines,
, but regarding all farm buildings.
Eventually a number of short
courses will be established at the
college, so that those who have time
can spend a few weeks here, thus
getting the benefit of the superior
teaching facilities. A summer windup
institute, or congress, to last the
^ 'Ua /?AL
pnrt ox n wcck upun tuc wi-?
lege grounds will be the clincher to
each year's work.
To sum up, then, Clemson College
is virtually throwing her doors open
to every farmer and citizen of the
State. She proposes doing this:
By holding one hundred or more
institutes over the State,
By visiting in person the farms
of the State and advising with
i
their owners.
By sending her representative into
the schools and encouraging the
teaching of agriculture to those
boys and girls who may not be able
to attend college.
By editing a reading course for
farmers to be published in every
paper in the State.
By establishing short agricultural
courses for farmers.
By assisting in the betterment of
rural schools and farm buildings.
By holding a summer farmers'
congress once a year, thus fringing
together for instruction and
the exchange of ideas the best and
most progressive farmers of the j
State.
Up to the present the Superintendent
of the Extension Divison has
been alone in this work. During
the time from last November until
the present he has, with some
assistance, held sixty-three institutes
attended by over five thousand
farmers. Many of these instii
tutes, though conducted by but
one man, lasted from three to four
hours.
