Interest in the scope, organization
and methods of operation of this
States Bureau of Marketing was
focused in Washington during the
past week at the joint hearing of the
committee of agriculture of the
senate and the house on the ma
tionai marketing measure OF Senator
Sheppard of Texas, known as the
Bill to Establish National Cham
Der OF Agriculture. This state alone
furnished information as to the
practical and successful operation OF
the system that it is proposed to
establish on an amplified nation wide
basis. In commenting on this Sena-
tor Gore, chairman of the senate
committee, presiding, said that such
an illustration Of practical and sue
cessful results was worth all the
theory in the world and requested
the preparation and filing as soon
aG possible for incorporation in the
proceedings of the hearing full de-
tails of the South Carolina method
OF procedure with illustrative let
ters from benefciaries OF the ser.

South Carolina adaptation OF the
German system is certain to be the
Foundation upon which the national
system will be construed Hoke

national system tackled on to the
present Federal Bureau Of Markets

impra acticability this effort is meet
ing with no encouragement and is
opposed by all save office holders
