Agricultural Dep
Gets Over t
The past session hus been the most
Rttccbssful Clemson College has eyor j
experienced Clemson is truly theV
fanners' college..-. Mprev than,.r>o..4u<?.
cent of her' 800 students afe.ltakfng.
?tho" agricultural- course. ..This.. piiuL
scsslou 418. men studied agriculture at
this;, .the greatest agricultural, college
in tho South. When these agricultural
colleges were flret established they
weru.. criticised by people in general
becaure their students, especially their
graduates, did not engage in farming.
Thia criticism at the time was unjust
because, the country was demanding
the services of these graduates, in oth
er and more important. woYk.- These
demands cam? from the U. S. Depart
nent of Agriculture, the agricultural
colleger-., the state experiment stations
and other scientific Institutions. While
only a nmnll percentage of the gradu
ates of th?se college in the early days
engaged in farming, it ls a fact that
tho great majority of them have made
excellent and substantial citizens and
their Influence tins always been for
good. .
In th^ early '90's 'when most of tb>
hitit i tutuma, were first established,
agriculture* over the entire country
was greatly depressed on account.of
.pver-productlon. When cotton vyaa
selling for five and six cents ? pound
: arjd tb i ?prico ' of j ajl n^rlcultural pro-;
duets" wu?"correspondingly ?o.tr,v,'th?r?'
was lilt lo inducement offered to the
graduate of theso institutions to en
ter' the profession i>f farming. The
over-produdtlod 'Of farm products a
few decades agp was due largely to the
cheap la/.?a of the west which at ihat
timi? rmjid "produce crops with ver*
ltttlo outlay of money. -. The .eonsev
quence of this filling, up of the west
with farmers was over-production and
over-prof' .dion has always meant de
pression bad farming at more or less
of a losr?. The boys of a generation
ago could hot See any advantages In
farming for there were few; Conn?
quohtly the majority of them ' that,
grriouated at our agricultural' colleges
sought employment in other prof?s
! slobs, especially In college sad expert
I ment st atto-n work.
Now that the country 1B filling.up so
rapidly with people, the demand for.
agricultural products is such that' a
young man well trained along agricul
tural Unes can find valuable employ
ment bn the farm. In this ago unless
'?? roan ls highly trained to produce
agricultural products economically, he
ls doomed lo more or less failure'. The
time has' passed' -.-when mediocrity
meets with SUCCOSB on the farm.- Keen
competition means the banishment of
Ignorance for only the' well-informed

ducing farm products economically; :
With our- Increase' In population,- it;

tbg gives there ah advantage7 in the'
struggle aud- they aro being' Imbued
with the Ide? while at Clemson that if
is their, d?t;- to spread the gospel of:
good farah.g lu their communities.

denied the right to carry, on business
in this state when the stats supreme

ground that the Pierce Oil Corpora
tion waa the successor of a default

Texas, anti-trust lsws, and therefore
prohibited by statute from ever, do*
