LOANS TO FARMERS Wants 50 Million Put to Their Disposal Now?Secretary of Treasury Says Farm Loan Banks Should be Kept Functioning for Farmeri. Washington, June 7.?Legislation authorizing the treasury to place $50,000,000 at the disposal of federal farm loan board for relief of agricultural interests was advocated today before the house banking committee by Secretary Mellon. The treasury now has $6,000,000 on deposit with the board, and, in addition Mr. Mellon said, is holding $183,000,0Q0 in farm loan bonds for which at present there is no market. "If a;d ever was needed it is ne6d- , ed now," said'the secretary. Replying to Representative McGre-| gor, republican,. New York, Mr. Mellon said it would not be advisable for. the government to loan money to[ people in cities for construction of houses. ?"We have established farm loan banks, and it is imperative that we keep them functidning," he said. j "No agencies for relief to industry! have been created. We have not em- j barked on a paternalistic policy in j this direction and are not under the j obligations of keeping established1 agencies in operation." Mr. Mellon said he Would not*fav-{ or government relief to farmers if, the farm loan banking system was' rot aetablished. Congress, wisely or1 unwisely, h$s created the system, he; added, and steps must Jbe taken to keep it in operation. Ample funds can be furnished by| banks and private financial interests fo rother lines -of industry, the com-; mittee was told. V i . { state council ' FOR FARM WOMEN i . I Rock Hill, June 7.?Nearly every' county in South Carolina was repre-J sented at the organization of the1' Farm Woman's council at Winthrop' college Tuesday. Mrs. Bradley Itfdr-1 rah of Mt Carmel was elected pres-;. ident of this organization; Mr?. ( Paul Brown, of Camden, vice presi-! dent, and Mrs. T. L.' Tinsl^y, Beaufort, secretary-treasurer. Mfs. S. 0. Plowden, president of the State Federation of Women's, Clubs, was invited to preside, which she did with grace and efficiency, i After a few preliminary remarks, j President D. B. Johnson was called on to discuss the possibilities of a | council, which he did in a few* well . chosen words. He.called attention! to the fact that great consideration 1 was due the woman on the farm. He said that the home is the unit out ~of which grows communities, e-.atey and nations and that an organization of farm women was especially necessary in this state where be'* tween 80 and 90 per cant of the women live on the farm. . O. B. Martin, formerly of South' Carolina, 'but now with the department pf agriculture and located at Washington, was the next, speaker. He complimented the splendid representative body of women who were present and called * on-them, as a body to do something worth while. He emphasized that there is no higher object than to develop one's own resources. He said that a wonderful opportunity awaits the farm girl and woman. He t>aid a hierh tribute! I to home demonstration work, the' objective of which is the saving of of civilization. At this point, the presiding officer called on the farm women for an expression. Mrs. Bradley Morrah, Mt. j Carroe!, spoke for the women of the I state, announcing that th'ey wore j anxious to form a state organiza-i tion. This was later put in the form j of a motion which was carried; unanimously.' A motion asking the; chairman to appoint a nominating! committee was likewise carried unanimously. While this committee! was in session, addresses were made ; by Mrs. S. 0. Plowden and Mrs. Bertha T. Munsell, president South Carolina League of Women Voter's. This organization "will ^ probably j exprt a wide influence on the do-: velopment of the resources of the state. It will seek to promote ihe social and economic welfare of the farm woman, -striving always to "plant their feet on higher ground."., 9 Mrs. James biieiiy leu l uesaay for her home in Franklin, N.
