A Department of Scientific Fanning
lark -niversitv in 1907 establi hed a department of cientific
farminer. There 'are four hundred acre of fertile land, well
wat r d, within two and a half miles of the city of Atlanta.
Pcrry . Park . a ~'oung olored man who graduated from the
agricultural department at Claflin niver ity, and subsequentl~"
took a comse at the ~ iscon in State niversity and at the Iowa
tatc Agricultural College, i uperintendent. Three department
have been organized: truck farming, dairying, and wine
rai iner. and other departments will be organized in the near
future. The lastlegi latme of Georgia, 1907, establi hed eleven
agricultural schools in the state, open to white youth, and all
are now in operation. Thi fact empha izes the need of this
new department at Clark.
The re ult of the first year of the farming department at
Clark, a publi hed in the Atlanta Constitution, may not be
without interest. The student. have taken care of the herd,
milked and sold in the market of Atlanta 29,200 quarts of
buttermilk, 500 pounds of first-class creamery butter, and 2,500
pound of pork.
In addition. the tudents have grown on the farm of the school
350 bu bel of corn, 300 bu hel of oat, 80 tons of hay, 11 bales
•
of cotton, 40,000 heads of cabbage . 4 000 dozen bunches of
onion , 125 bu hels of weet potatoes, 45 bu hel of white potatoe
, 40 bu hel of okra, 60 bu hel of lima bean . and 50
bu hel of tomato .
In peakinO' of the farm work, Superintendent Parks ay :
"Th r ha been an average of twenty-five tudent in the
fat'm departm nt of the school. While the tudentlabor has not
be n all that would wish, it ha been much better than we
xp t d for th beginning. The rno t encouraging thing is the
vid nt growth of the farm-work pirit among the tudent of
lark niver ity."
