SEjpD LOAN CHAIRMAN
; M> ADVISES FARMERS
X jfollowjjojff letter is froiq Mr.
Jack ythitftfr, Jr., Camden, 'sSi> C\t
who..\^aa yyffixman of the central
'coi^^commlttee for the Seed Loa&
work in Kershaw County last year
will be of Interest to farmers who
cured seed loans in 1932 and farmers
who desire to secure these .loans in
?1938:
"Dear Mr. Editor: Having been
so clo&eij' connected with the hand
ling of seed loans in Kershaw County
last year, since I was the chairman
of the central committee. I feel that)
the farmers of this county, especially
those who obtained loans through the
Seed Loan in 1932 and those who may
?iesire to obtain them in 1933, would
be interested in knowing some facte
regarding the money which was se
cured for this county. last year, since
I am confident that very few people
in the county know what took place
behind the scenes last year.
"I have particular reference to the
service rendered in this work by
county Agent Henry D... Green. When
the money was being divided amonp
the counties of this state Kershaw
County was' allotted only $50,000 and
was notified that this was the total
amount we would be able to secure
Mr. Green lost no time in getting
busy, however, to secure more money
for the people of his county since he
realized that $50,000 would be quitf
inadequate. I know personally as de
the other members of the committer
how Mr. Green worked day and night
He wrote many letters to officials In
Columbia, Clemson College and
Washington. For several days he
sent several telegrams each day; he
made various trips to Clemson am? '
Columbia, the expense /of all . of thir '
he bore himself.
"When the Seed Loan work war
summed up after the loans were al'
made we found that Mr. Green hac*
gotten an additonal $70,000 making r
total of approximately $120,000 fo
Kershaw County which waB loaned te
1100 borrowers.
" I give this information at thi?
Hme because there is so much talk of
discontinuing the services of the
county agent. It would be hard t(
imagine the plight of the people wh?
would not have gotten loans last year
had it not been for Mr. Green's dili
gence. I do not believe that there
is another man in the county who if
'n position to secure the added a
mount of money which Mr. Green se
cured. '
"It seems to be more or less cer
tain that these seed loans will br
made again this year and I am o^"
the opinion that we will need Mr
Green's services in 1933 as above in
dicated as much or more than in 1932
It is time, I think, that farmers whr
care to do so take some action t'
have the work of our efficient coun
ty and home agents continued before
it is too late.
, "I feel that Mr. Green's services tr
the farm people of the county in con
nection with tho seed loan last yea)
alone more than paid his expenses." j

Schwartz, 17, of New York,
aahington, Jan. 22. ? The twen
tieth amendment, eliminating defeat
ed- legislator^- from participation in
the government henceforth and hast
ening inauguration of president and
meeting, time of etch new congress,
became today a pftrt. of the constitu
tion of the iJnitfed ^ States.
Submitted tQ'the states by con
? gress on Match 3 of last year, it was
ratified in near-record t$oie, the state
of Missouri winning the (.distinction
of being the thirty-sijtth /, ? and last
needed state to approve, thia modern
ization of the federal machinery.
The amendment will become opera
tive October 15 next.
i After that each regular session of
congress will begin on January 8, ev
ery year with no fixed adjournment
date, and each new president will be
inaugurated January 20th.
Had it been in force now, Franklin
D. Roosevelt would ?have- been presi
dent since last Friday. The new, ov
erwhelmingly Democratic congress
would have been in session since Jan
uary 3, instead of the filibuster-ridden
and nigh helpless present short ses
sion which must adjourn March 4 and
can not possibly dispose of its big
tasks in that time.
The ratification was victory cli
maxing ten years of patient effort
for the veteran independent, Senator
George Norris-of Nebraska. He hail
ed the outcome today with the state
ment:
"The enactment of this amendment
is a great step toward , placing the
control of our government in the
hands of the chosen representatives
of the American people."
He expressed confidence too, that
it will do away with filibustering nuch
as has paralyzed the senate for the
last two weeks, pointing out that with
ftp set. adjournment date the tactics
of delay can not flnaily succeed.
In ratifying as 36th, MissourFhad ?
to beat Massachusetts and Nevada
both ready to act today. The Mis
souri senate having alread acted, the
house managed to meet ahead of the
scheduled two o'clock convening hour
so as to overcome the time zone ad
vantage held by Massachusetts. The
maneuver succeeded.
Honor of being first to ratify goes
to Virginia which acted last March 4
before even a copy of the resolution
proposing the amendment had been
laid before it.
Atlanta, Jan. 23. ? Georgia today
became the 37th state to ratify the
lame duck amendment to the federal
constitution.
The senate and house in rapid suc
