roI,~ohto Dnoarl. Tho animal
hand book Of the state department OF
agriculture is receiving commentator
in high places. w. G. P. Harding,
chairman Of the national reserve bank
ing board has congratulated Commits
sioner Watson upon the contents Of the
book. In an address recently, Mr..
Harding took practically the same
view Of the cotton situation that Is ex-
pressed in the annual report Of the
state department. William 1ngle,
president Of the National Reserve
bank of Richmond, in a letter in
which he comments upon the book,
that you in the way Of remedial legis-
lation advocate the passage in South
Carolina Of a Torrens land title bill
and also that you would appreciate the
presence with you Of rural credit
banks. Both are important and for
the same reason, but If congress could
arrange for the rural credit banks to
be run, not with government aid, but
under it's police supervision, I think
we could have with us an instrument
tally which would do more good than
almost any other single thing, not only
to help your agricultural section in a
positive way, but to relieve state
banks Of dead, II sound, assets, which
now make up such a very large share
Of their hope you can
persuade the South Carolina members
Of congress in the interest Of their
state to advocate such a measure"
