J Columbia. | "The development of the business has gone far beyond my fondest ex pectations and the thorough practica bility of the plan, which is of itself so simple, has been more than demon strated," says Commissioner Watson of the state department of agriculture in a letter to C. E. Bassett, specialist in co-operative organization of the United States department of agricul ture, discussing the success of the .sta ture, discussing the success of the state bureau of marketing.

"I note your request for any fur ther Information. It may Interest you to know that the business of the state bureau of marketing has grown enormously, and that it is now being generally utilized by people in ?11 parts of this state and a great many in other states who seek such thihgs as pure seed of special varieties of cotton, cow peas, cbrn, etc. The far mer is using it for practically every thing connected with the farm, and each week sees calls from new peo ple. The transactions in money value each week are now becoming very large. The merchants are beginning to take hold and the housewives in the several cities, who, strange to say, have been slower than any other class in using the bureau, are now be-, einnlne to do so. and in that cannec tions the parcel post is serving an ad mirable purpose. 'Frankly, the devel opment of the business has gone far beyond my fondest expectations, and the thorough practicability of the plan, which is of itself so simple, has been more than demonstrated. "I note your inquiry as to whether the plan of marketing has developed any difficulties in connection with the proper grading of goods, and whether or not the farmer's idea of "first class" agrees with the opinion of the buyer. This has been one of the re markable things to impress upon my mind. Up to tne present moment there has never been a single ques tion to be raised by the buyer in any case as to the superior quality of the product. Perhaps this may indicate that the farmer is an honest man, or that the people have been so thor Flour in Small Packages. Following order was issued a few days ago from the state department of agriculture: "In view of the popular demand for flour sold in cartons and small size packages, guaranteed under the fed eral pure food law, and bearing the stamped net weight of the contents on the package, such packages, in cartons and in small paper ^acks, properly branded and stamped, car rying the net weight printed on the outside of package, will be allowed to go to sale showing the following net weights: 76 ounces, 75 ounces, 72 ounoes, 42 ounces, 4 Oounces, 28 ounces and 26 ounces. Packages showing any other weights than those specified will be considered il legally in the markets of the state and will be subject to all of the pro visions of the weights and measures law."

"We have been having quite a time of it for the past month with the bleached flour situation," said E. J. Watson, commissioner of agriculture recently. "Possibly 70 per cent of the flour coming into the state has been bleached. Just prior to the recent de cision of the federal court, which de cision was on a case In which essen tial issues had not arisen. I began the rigid enforcement of the require ment im this state that all bleached flour offered in the market of this state should be plainly stamped on each sack 'Bleached,' but making no requirement as to the process used. When the decision was rendered the manufacturers assumed that the de aision gave them a free rein, and pro tests against state requirements were loud and long. Shipments in disre gard of state police power regulations began to come into this state, and I proceeded to tie them up. "The bleaching of flour is by sev eral processes. Oxide of nitrogen en ters into practically every one. The owners of processes usin gthis chem ical coupled with eleotricity claim that it is not deleterious to health. Many of the processes bleach with chlorine, and no one hai attempted to assert that it is not dangerous and deleterious. The trouble has been in detecting chlorine when certain meth ods of bleaching are employed and it is now commonly believed that there <s no agent which will show the chlorine. But it can be detected." S C LETTER Numerous New Charters Granted. The secretary of sfate has Issued a commission to the Savannah and Bluffton Steamboat company, with a capital of $10,000.
