United States totals, available as early
as practicable.
These data are used as the basis
for the monthly and annual crop and
live stock estimates Of this depart
mcnt, which are of current value in
the marketing and distribution of
farm products. Because Of the fact
that crop and live stock estimates
bridge the gap between the deccnnial
census and because the estimates Of
acreage and live stock are made on
the percentage basis, these estimates
are liable to get out of line with the
facts nearing the close of a 1O-year
period. 1t is highly important, there
fore, that the results Of the new cen
sus for agriculture shall be available
for use by the department.. as early in
N" present year as possible, in order
that the necessary corrections may be
made in estimating this years crops
I'm addition, may / also emphasize
the importance Of completing with the
least possible delay the major tabula-
tions dealing with land values, land
"tillZation, tenancy, and farm popula-
tion. Certainly information on these
subjects would greatly assist the De-
partment of Agriculture in its present
work Of attacking the problems con
fronting the Nation in the field Of ag-
riculture."

FARM CENSUS

census of 1920, the Secretary Of Agri-
culture recently said in a letter to the
Secretary of Commerce:
"Permit me to bring to your attcn-
ton the vital Importance Of agricul-
tural data collected by the Bureau of
Census this year and the special inter-
est Of this department in having such
data made available at the earliest
practicable date.

and business interests generally, are

State memorial to the many thou
sands of men and womc nof this State
who rendered service during the Great
War. Only part of the money neces-
sary was made available from the
State Treasury, the plan being for the
people of the State by voluntar ysub
scrlption to supplement the one hun
dred thousand dollars provided for bv
the General Assembly. Upon a mo-
ment's reflection the reason for this
Will be apparent to you. Had all the
money needed for the memorial been
raised by taxation, the structure
would have lost some of it's valuable
characteristics, for taxation is highly
unpcrsonal, and largely Inexpensive
OF any particular wish on the part of
the tax payer as to the purposes for
winch the money is to be exDcndcd.
"SiX months or more ago, the cam
palgn for popular subscriptions was
announced, four hundred thousand
dollars being the sum agreed upon.
approximately one hundred thousand
dollars has now been subscribed. For
various reasons the campaign was not
pushed to a speedy termination. All
of us had just experienced numerous
other campaigns; we were resting,
too, from the fatigue Of high pressure
incident to the War and necessary for
its conduct. 1t is, however, not ncces-
sary for me to elaborate on this phase
of the situation.
"The issue we now face is this: We
must raise the four hundred thousand
dollars. The purpose Of this letter is
merely to refresh your memory, to
recall to you, and through you to the
people of your county, the fact that
this memorial is to be erected and
forever stand as one of the tokens Of
our undying appreciation, of our ever
lasting gratitude, for the services
rendered by our fellow Carolinians.
"Thc other "drivcs" are now over.
and VIC have rested from our nervous
tension. We have passed through =
year of unparalleled financial earn
ings, and have every reason to believe
that prosperity, formerly scarcely
dreamed Of, will be vouchsafcd to us
TO rmany years to come. Shall we, so
happily situated as this, hesitate even
for few days when asked to raise
money, a small ammount of money,
for memorial? Shall we swell our
bank accounts, add to our luxurcs,
expand our pleasures, and have never
a gift in memory of those who gave
their lives?
"The memory is necessary The
State must find means for expressing
itself, else it stagnates, and mcmor-
ials are a means Of expression. The
memorial will be erected; am sure of
that, because | know the history of
South Carolinians. AS symbol it
shall be raised, as a token of affcc-
tion and as a perennial inspiration il
will ever stand.

fthis campaign. April 1890 are
the dates selected for finishing the
task. Just present the cause to your
fellow citizens, and the remainder,
