Columbia, .June 3.--Editor Keo wee Courier: I am enclosing a short article on the State warehouse sys tem and trust you will publish same. The warehouse act was designed to ?help ibo farmers of South Carolina, and has already rendered valuable assistance to farmers hy furnishing ways and means by which they can linaine themselves during thc Both ering season, and not be forced to sell their cotton as gathered and oil a glutted market. I am working out a market lng system for cotton which should enable farmers to sell cotton dlrocl from warehouses to mills, as needed, and strictly on grades. There should be a warehouse tn every town ship in your county. During my ad ministration the Slate Warehouse System shall be conducted on busi ness principles. Respectfully yours, w. di. Smith, Commissioner. The Stat?* Warehouse System. The law providing for the "Cot Ion Warehouse System for the State of South Carolina" was passed at tho extraordinary session of the Gen eral Assembly in October. 1014. lt v as entitled "All Act to Regulate tho storing, Cruding and Marketing of Cotton." Ils purpose was "to protect the peo ple of this State from irreparable loss, to provide some general plan for warehousing, and lo .launce the crop hy converting rot ton into a negotia ble security which will command re spect in the money markets of tho world." li was designed to estab lish a colton warehouse system "within tho polite powers of tho Stale and for tho general welfare." I The administration ol' the system ; was placed in the hands of (he Slate ! Warehouse Commissioner, who was elected by thc (louerai Assembly for a term of two years. The Ware house Commissioner is required to . give "a bond to the Stale of South Carolina in the sum ol' $.*.!?.OOO to guarantee tho l'a it li fol performance of bis dulles." The commissioner is empowered 1 "to acquire property for tho ware housing of roll?n." and to superviso the operation ol' warehouses through bonded managers. The cotton stored in a warehouse connected with Hie Slate warehouse system is al all times and automatically covered by insu rance. ! "The Warehouse Commissioner shall accept as authoritative Ibo standards and class! Heat ion? of cot ton established by the Federal gov ernment." For all cotton stored in a State warehouse the commissioner shall issue a receipt "under the seal and In tho name of the State of South Carolina." I Every bale of cotton stored in a Stale warehouse must carry a lag showing that lt has been "legally : weighed" by the manager of the warehouse and that it has been grad ed by "a Federal or State inspector." , The warehouse receipt issued for the 'cotton must state the "location of : warehouse, name ol' manager, or ? agent of the warehouse, the mark on j the bale, weight, grade and whether \ long or short staple, so as to be aldo to deliver on surrender of the re ceipt the Identical cotton for which . it was given. The said receipt car ; rles the absolute title of the cotton: i the receipt is transferable by wrlt ! ten assignment and actual delivery. Tile weights, classes and grades ol' j cotton on storage are under this i act only guaranteed by the State in favor of those who loan money or i buy cotton stored In warehouses." I Cotton represented by warehouse I receipt is "deliverable only on a physical presentation of the receipt, j which is to he marked 'cancelled' when the cotton is taken from the wa rehouse." Any manager or other employee of a State warehouse who shall fraudulently issue a receipt or a du plicate receipt for cotton, or who shall "deliver colton from a ware house without the production of the receipt therefor, or who fails to mark such receipt 'cancelled' on the de livery of tho cotton." shall be heavily lined or imprisoned, or both fined and imprisoned. "Any person who shall deposit or attempt to deposit cotton upon which a Hon or mort gage exists, without notifying tho manager of the warehouse, shall be punished by lino and Imprisonment for a period of liol more than one year, and a lino of not more than one thousand dollars." llencfltH to Farmers. Under the unusual conditions which have prevailed during the past three years the State warehouse sys tem has been subjected to the sever est tests and has proven a success - la great blessing to the cotton farm ers of South Carolina. The ben ellis have been manifold : 1. The building of a warehouse in a conimunlty has aroused the spirit of co-opera lion among Hie farmers of i hat community. .Mutual helpfulness leads to unselfish service and to the actual practico of tho great motto of agricultural ?co-operation: "All for each, and each for all." 2. The concentration of all cotton grown In a community in a local warehouse has made il possible and easy for the farmers lo make com bined sales, selling in hundred-bale lots rallier than by single bah s or in small lol*. ". Every bale as it is stored in a St;1 le warehouse is "legally weighed and carefully graded by a Federal or Slate inspector." The owner of the cotton ls given a warehouse receipt which a'-curately describes each bale, so tlint "the Identical cotton" cnn and must always ho delivered upon thc surrender of the receipt. Thus the owner can intelligently market Iiis cotton in and through a Stale warehouse* and always sell al top notch prices, 4. "Tho said receipt Carries tho absolute title Of the colton." and ls transferrable by written assignment and actual delivery." "Such receipt ?H Issued" under the seal and lu me name of thc State of South Carolina and is guaranteed by "a bond to the Stato of South Carolina in the sum Of $50,000." ."?. Tho warehousing of cqtton be comes a protection against damage by weather and against loss by fire, livery community or plantation warehouse ls automatically insured by a blanket policy to tho amount of $70,000. and additional insurance can he securod by any warehouse Just as lt may lie needed. 6. A contract with one of the lead ing insurance companies of the Uni ted States lias been made and duly executed, and cotton can bo stored In a country warehouse at exceptionally low Insurance rates. All insurance is handled by the ellice of tho State Warehouse Commissioner. 7. The receipt Issued by a State warehouse ls recognized to-day as a very desirable security for a loan and is readily accepted by the banks of South Carolina as well as by tho larg est financial institutions of the coun try. Such receipt is easily negotia ble at the value ol' the cotton on the day the loan is made; every element of risk is eliminated, for the receipt is always worth more than the face value of tho note given for the loan. 8. The State warehouse system has enabled farmers to market their cot ton crop gradually and only when the price is satisfactory-lu other words, to sell cotton only when there is an active demand for it by con suming plants. The commissioner is ? now developing a plan for a State ! system of cotton markotlng so thal | (lie producers, rather than the specu lators, may be able to supply thc j monthly demands of the mills. !?. Warehouses with capacity of | 200 to ROO bales can be constructed in thc rural districts or on the plan-, talion at a cost but little In excess ol' $1 a bale, and a 1.000-bale ware-) house can be built for loss than $1 a ? bale. This means a warehouse con- l structed of metal. Plans, blueprints. I and specifications meeting all the re quirements ol insurance companies will be furnished free of cost by the j state Warehouse Commissioner; 10. The community or plantation warehouse can bo made a part of the Stale warehouse system in the follow ing manner: Tho commissioner i rents the warehouse at a nominal ! rental of $1 a year, and then Issues to the owner or owners a com mission 1 or license to operate the warehouse, charging a iee or $2 for this commis sion or license. The commissioner appoints a suitable person ware- j houseman, and this warehouseman outers Into a bond t ranging from $1,000 to .$."..01)0) for the faithful! I performance of his duties. The I warehouse thus becomes a part ot the Slate warehouse system and is given a number. When warehouse-' man is ready for business, the com missioner has the warehouse covered by a blanket insurance policy to 'amount of $70.ooo. Daily reports of ! eolton stored in or withdrawn from the warehouse are made to the of j lice ol' the State Commissioner. A record of each and every transac I tlon of the warehouseman is kept in the commissioner's olllee. i 1 1. The owners of a community or plantation warehouse can store at ac- ? tuai cost-three cents a balo a month for time cotton is in storage, and the insurance. The insurance ; rate is $1.58 a year on the $100 val uation ol' cotton. This Insurance is pro-rated on cotton stored for less j time than a year. The cotton is val eud at market price of grades on I day cotton is stored and the amount of insurance ls determined by the I weekly average Of price of cotton during the period of storage. The I charge of 3 cents a bale a month i goes toward the expenses of the com- j missioner's ofllce. The insurance is j paid monthly, while the storage charges are not paid until cotton is I withdrawn from warehouse. All per- | sons not interested in tlie ownership of the warehouse pay usual charges for storage, and these charges in clude the 3 cents a bale a month and the cost, of Insurance. 12. The f-.-mer having cotton in a warehouse connected with the State warehouse system has lull protection against loss-under the bond of the local warehouseman, under the bond of the State Commissioner, and un- i der an insurance policy of $70.000 or ! more. The cotton ls stored In the ! community where grown and can be sold any hour ol' any day of the year. Farmers Should Co-Operate. The farmers of each community in every cotton-producing county in South Carolina should unite In build ing a warehouse; the owner ol' every ginnery should operate a warehouse for the accommodation of patrons; every farmer making 100 bales of cotton should have a plantation warehouse, or two or more farmers should combine In the construction of a warehouse with capacity suffi cient to store their own and their neighbors' cotton. If there were enough warehouses lu the State warehouse system to store all the cotton grown in the State (about l, 500,000 bales), the farmers of South Carolina could control the market ing of their cotton crops, selling I strictly on grades and only when the l?ricos were satisfactory.

Drying is a cheap way In which to keep vegetables ?"<' ^ ll!>? tl,is iul" vantage: that the vegetables keep well and require but little space. Dried vegetables can often take the place of canued. Almost all vegetables are blanched or gvein a light cooking in boiling water in order to change or coagulate tho albuminous matter and thereby prevent the dried vegetables from fisting like hay. ' They are boiled from Uve to six minutes (except as stated below) counting time from the moment the boiling commences. The vegetables are cleaned, rinsed and prepared before the boiling, so that they, after being dried, need only to be rinsed in cold water, then soaked in lukewarm water and boiled as fresh vegetables. A wire basket ls very handy to use during the boiling or blanching. The vegetables are placed ttl lt and the basket then low ered into the boiling water. A cheese doth bag may also be used. After the bolling or blanching, the water must be drained off well before the vegetables are placed on the dry ing trays lu the evaporator. (If it is but a small lot, the stove oven may he used. The pans or trays are then covered with paper. Some drying trays of galvanized wire netting, made to lit the oven, may be used. Tho trays or pans are cleaned by brushing with soda water and then rinsed. ) The heat must, to commence with, he 1 ll) degrees F. (or 48 C.) increas ing to 135 degrees F. (.">7 C.) to I I."> degrees F. ttl:*. C.). and the drying requires from an hour and a half to almost three, sometimes four hours. In order to take the correct tem perature ol* tlie oven or evaporator for drynig vegetables or rruits. put a thermometer in a cylinder glass lilied with sweet oil, cooking oil, or olive oil. and set in the oven. When the drying is complete and while the vegetables are warm they are very brittle, but this will soon disappear with exposure to tin; air. Then they are packed away In tin or wooden boxes lined with parchment paper and will? pa rebinen I paper be tween the layers (each layer about half an inch thick). Thc dried vege tables must be packed closely and the box closed, not to be opened until they are ready to be used. Where the climate ls very dani)), a good way to keep the dried vegetables is to put them in small paper sacks, tie with a string and then paint all over with melted paraffin, which will prevent tho absorbtion of moisture. Remem ber that vegetables lose in weight during the drying process. Deans. All varieties of string benns can be dried. If desired to dry them whole use only young string beans. Wash and string, put in wire basket or cheese cloth bag and blanch In boiling water from tl to 10 minutes, depending on age of heans. If it is desired to preserve the green color, add half a teaspoonful of soda to each gallon of water in which they are blanched. Drain well, spread on cloths or in the sunshine in order to remove surface moisture. Place on drying trays and put In evaporator or stove oven at 110 degrees. Slowly increase temperature to 110 or 145 (in about one or one and a half hours) and finish drying at that tem perature. They will dry In about two or two and a half hours. If string beans are a little older (half or three-fourths grown) wash and string, slice in quarter-inch strips crosswise with knife or vege table slicer, blanc)) six minutes and dry as above, old string beans (not ripe) are hulled or shelled, put in boiling water six minutes and dried. Wax beans are treated like string beans. Lima beans, if young and tender, are blanched 5 to 6 minutes. If full grown and still not hard, blanch from S to 10 minutes, and dry as above, only increase (he heat more slowly in order not to dry a hard crusl on outside of beans and thereby leave Inside moist.

Specially good In soups or omelets. Dry in about three or three and a half hours. When used, rinse in cold water and scald in boiling water. Br?ssels Sprouts. Treat like cauliflower, but add soda to water In which they are blanched. Cabbage, Kale, Collards, Etc. Wash; shred as lor kraut, or slice lu about one Inch strips.
