Every farmer in South Carolina
needs, and should have, a good home
orchard to furnish fruit and berries
for home use. One acre devoted to
such an orchard will give all the
fresh fruit that family can use
throughout the whole summer, and a
surplus for canning and preserving
for winter use.

cial: A hearing Of great Importance

by the Federal Farm Loan Board
This hearing is for the purpose Of
getting information to guide the
board in determining the boundaries
Of the twelve Federal Land Bank dis
tricts into which the country is to be
divided for the administration OF the
new rural credits law, known as the
Federal Farm Loan Act. The session

Federal Farm Loan Board who will
conduct this hearing are Hon. VIM.
G. McAdoo. Secretary Of the Treas
ury; Geo. w. Norris, Farm Loan
Commissioner; Herbert Quick, Capt.
w. s. A. Smith and Chas. e. Lobdell.
The board has issued an invitation
to all farmers and farm organizations

to furnish the board with informa-
tion about the farm loan needs OF the
State. 1t has also asked interested

location of one of the twelve Federal
Land Banks.
Farmers will be asked to give in
formation regarding the prevailing
rates Of interest on first mortgage
loans; the difficulty Of getting ex-
tensions; the rate of commissions
charged; the development Of farms
as affected by credit: farm tenantry
as affected by the ability Of tenants
to borrow; and any other fact that
will give the board an understanding
CT the farm needs Of the State.
The new Federal Farm Loan Act
provides a way for the farmer or
prospective farmer to borrow money
On longtime mortgages at actual
cost. The government provides the
machinery for assembling capital to
be loaned to farm owners or pros
run up to SO per cent Of the value of
the land used as security and 20 per
cent Of the value of the improve
ments. The loans will be made at
low rate Of interest not yet deter
mined, but 1t will be less than G. sr
cent. Provision Is made for the bor-
rover to pay off the debt, interest
and principal, through periods Of
from five to forty years, at his own
option.
The legislation Is expected to prove
country where farm development has
been retarded because of high inter-
est rates, and it is predicted that it
will tend to make agricultural pros
perity permanent and uniform. sta
biliZe and equaliZe interest rates, and
greatly improve the condition Of the
farmer.
The nationwide interest in the
provisions Of the bill is indicated by
tile fact that more than 100000 in
uIiries have come to the Treasury
Department for Information about it.
Secretary McAdoo predicts that the
banks will be established and ready
to make loans early in 1917.

As girl in Melbourne, Australia,

ENDORSED BY BECK

Oklahoma city Feb. adam l..
Beck, president of the Oklahoma
Manufacturers association, has en-
dorsed the plan for a state organi2a-
tion of employers. His approval is
contained in the following interview;
THAT incalculable industrial bene-
fits have accrued to business through
out the states of the union by CO.
operative best effort, thought and gen
ius, is proven by the fact that the
older states have organized and now
maintain both financially and numer-
ically strong associations for the ad-

Dental affairs TO the highest planes
of business morals and industrial eff
fiCiency.
"These associations of business
men gather in convention at regular
intervals, whoCe unseltish men of
large and small affairs meet upon
common ground for the exchange of
IDEAS with relation to both their
Industrial and sociological well-being.

the production and sale of well
known article of commerce. it is my
belief that our commercial expansion
must result if at all, from broader
and a better intimate knowledge Of
friendship with those engaged in ere

81 believe all things being equal,
that success in any great industry
must depend in a large degree upon
belief and reliance in the integrity
of those whom it is our privilege and
pleasure to designate as friends. and
whose material advancement and so
cial welfare are inseparabIy inter
locked and interdependent with those
of our own.
Il further believe that our business
affairs should be performed in such
way that the pleasure TO be de
rived from their negotiation should
be one of the moving considerations
as well as the pecuniary profit sought
| by their transaction. For several
years number of those engaged in
creative industries variously located
throughout the state of Oklahoma
have maintained an organization
known as the Oklahoma Manufactur
ers' association. The benefits which
its members have derived from its
council are so numerous and vastly

of an intelligent elucidation in any
