:as regarded this as the most imporant
plank in its program of work and
i great amount of information has
leen and is being collected to be
>laced at the disposal of its markets
ommission.
The board is making preparations
o give assistance to the South Caroina
Sweet Potato association and to
he South Carolina Growers associaion.
It is probable that the board at
in early date will open an office in
Florence to aid the two associations.
The suggestion that assistance be
fiven to the tobacco growers and the
weet potato growers was made by
[\ B. Young of Florece, who is
aking an important part in promotng
the two associations. He is a
uember of the markets commission
f the development board.
Information will be given to the to>acco
growers as to proper grading
nd marketing. The United States
iureau of markets will be requested
o furnish a special market service
eport to the tobacco growers. This
rill enable the farmers to know what
c expect for their crops.

Southern Sweet Potato exchange,
'lans are being worked out for the
narketing of all the sweet potatoes
o sell this year are urged to get in
ouch with the South Carolina assoiation

^lorence.
South Carolina has this year proluced
several million bushels of
weet potatoes and the finding of a
eady market at good prices will add
nillions of dollars to the farmers'
\

JAPANESE QUESTION E
GETS ATTENTION
Washington, Nov. 2.?The Ameri-(
can government made public today Sl
its first statement regarding the dis- ^
| cussions with the Japanese ambassa-1 *
I dor concerning the proposed anti- j
I g|
I alien land law to be voted upon to- i
! morrow in California. It said that it
! was believed that the Japanese am-'.
bassador realized that no outcome 11
of the California movement would c
j be acceptable to the country at
i large that did not accord with "ex- u
; isting and applicable provisions of r
1 law" and with "the national instinct
"VI
I of justice.'
I ^
The statement was prepared by; .
i Si
Acting Secretary Davis of the state
! department who declared that it was A
U
"in reply to inquiries" and that the ^
I fact that it was issued on the eve of p
i the California elections was without
; significance. It was asserted that'
the principal object was to assure j
the Japanese people that their legiti- 1<
mate interests would be safeguard-1 tl
ed. Ik
Mr. Davis described the discus- ^ E
sions with the Japanese ambassador^]
'as being "of the most friencHy and a
' candid nature" and also said that
the relation of certain treaty provisions
to the proposed California c
measure would "doubtless prove an element
in the state's decision." ^
' The department's ' statement was ?
prepared by Under-Secretary Davis
j and it was explained was in response
J to inquiries. It follows:
"The movement in California to ^
recast the state laws affecting alien t
land tenure has been receiving since
its inception, the close and inter- I
ested attention of the department of i
state. The relations of certain treaty t
provisions to <the proposed measure 1
| is being discussed clearly and ably 1
in California and will doubtless
j prove an element in the state's de- *
| cision as to the adoption or rejection t
I of the proposed measure. In the d
! meantime the department has had r
numerous discussions of the most h
frinedly and candid nature with the f
J ambassador of Japan and it is be- t
j lieved he thoroughly realizes, as we. il
