COOPERATION PAYS IN UNION

Clemson College, June % Two
recent instances of the money value
of cooperation have come from the
Union County farmers. one of these
concerning the purchase OF fertilizer
by pooling orders and the other con-
cerning the sale of cotton by pooling
offerings.
When local farmers were ready to
purchase nitrate of soda they were
told by County Agent w. d. Wood
that they could effect saving of
$1,000 per ton by pooling their or
ders and buying in carload lots. Upon
receipt of this information the farm
ers came not by ones and twos, but
by the dozens to join the purchasing
pool and in one weeks time over
100 tons were ordered cooperative
ly at net saving of $500, thus il
Illustrating that another way to reach
! mans heart besides through his
stomach is through his bocketbook.
An answer to the question, "Does
the pooling of farm products and sell
ing in large quantities pay?" is found
in the experience of one Union coun
ty farmer who had small lot of IL
bales of cotton to sell. A local buver
offered him price on this lot, which
was not accepted. Later on that day
the same lot of IL bales was sold to
the same buyer in a pool of 400
bales, the difference in the price re-
celved in the pool and that offered in
the small lot being so great as to
amount to the price of two bales.
Through Just such experiences as
these farmers in Union county and
throughout South Carolina are learn
ing that cooperation in the form of
buying and selling pools is an impor-
tant phase of the modern farmers
business

Times are hard in South Caro-

increasing the number of veterans in
government service.
At present. only about on>-twentieth
of those in the civil service, 20, 900 out
of 100000, are veterans. This condi-
ton exists, it is said, in spite Of the
fact that $1,000 ex-service men have
sought government Jobs; 10000 of
them passed the examinations and
measured up to all requirements and
5000 have been recommended or
certified for appointment by the civil
service.
The law requires the civil service
commission to submit the names of
three eligibles for each appointment of
be made. including the ex-service per-
son making the highest mark, and
leaves tie appointment of one of the
three to the head of the executive de-
partment. The fact that in $4,000 out
of $4,000 cases. the department heads
have preferred civilians to veterans
is not al all satisfactory to the Legion.
Consolidation of the three govern
ment bureaus which handle all rela-
tons between the government and for
mer service men is sure to be brought
about by legislation at the coming
session of congress, according to Rep
reScntative Burton E. Sweet, of Iowa,
chairman of the subcommittee of the
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce, which is consider
ing the measure.
This legislation, which is regarded
by American Legion leaders as the
only method to eliminate the red tape
thru which disabled veterans have to
wade in order to get compensation and
disqualification from the government,
was introduced into the last session
congress. but was too late for action.
1t was revised and rewritten by Rep
resentative Sweet two days before
congress adjourned.
The legislatures of six states petit
toned congress to pass the measure.
as did many organizations thruout the
country. A flood of petitions for its
enactment came in from American
Legion posts.
