DEFECTIVE WAREHOUSING I Department of Agriculture Points Out ft Need of Adequate System. The cotton warehouses alreudy in existence are ample in aggregate storage capacity, according to a recent survey made by the U. S. department of agriculture, to store as much of the crop as there is any need for, but they 4 are poorly distributed. The best are not available to the farmer and the charges or the others are higher than he is disposed to pay. These facts tomplicate the financing of the crop, and are largely responsible for keeping so many cotton farmers under the blight of the credit system. A better system of warehouses would do much to help the situation. Cotton, according to the government specialists, is considered the very best collateral, and bankers and business men in general are willing to lend money on it at lower interest than on real estate. An essential condition is, however, that the cotton be properly stored and insured. At the present, * * Hnno HP hp however, tnis is very l at c?j vivmvi - m - farmers are accustomed to dispose of their crop at the earliest possible moment and in the nearest town. Much of the crop, if not all of it, is frequently pledged in advance, in order to obtain supplies for the farmer. Even when the price drops as low as it did ^ in the fall of 1914, the need for immediate cash induces the farmer to depress the market still further by throwing all of his cotton upon it If this is not done much of the crop is left insufficiently protected and suffers what is known to the trade as "country damage." On the other hand, it is pointed out in a new publication of the U. S. department of agriculture, bulletin 216. "Cotton Warehouses," that an adequate warehouse system would enable the farmers to store their cotton at prices lower than those changed for the same service now, because the insurance rates on cotton stored in a standard warehouse would be much ? lower than at the present time. Since cotton is regarded as such a safe collateral, the merchant would be will ing to extend time to the farmer if warehouse receipts were deposited with him as collateral. The local bank would take these receipts from the merchant as further accommodation, and the larger bank, from which the local bank has in all probability ob% tained the loan, would also extend time. In this way the crop could be marketed gradually and prices stabilized in consequence. Moreover, such a system would tend to free the farmers, especially those of the tenant class, from the endless chain of debt. It would not, of course, end at once or completely the credit system by which the supply merchant nKtoina interest of from 25 gomfuincs to 35 cents on a dollar's worth of supplies. If, however, such cotton as was not absolutely necessary to settle accounts was stored and economy in living practiced, many of the more determined growers should in the course of two or three years be able to place themselves on a cash basis. At the present time the best warehouses have been put up by factories and mills for their own uses, and are of no service to the farmer. The owners of small warehouses in which the farmer can store his cotton are usually losing money on the investment largely because of poor construction and correspondingly high rates of int surance. The government investigators present a number of interesting statistics to show that in many cases it is actually more expensive to put up and operate an inferior warehouse than one of standard design. For example, in Georgia and North Carolina I the insurance rate is reduced about 80 per cent by the use of sprinklers. Unquestionably, says the report, a great saving could be affected by the erection and proper equipment of modern warehouses. Assuming the annual crop to be 16,000,000 bales, a sufficient number of such warehouses could be constructed and equipped with automatic sprinklers for $64,000,000 or less. If all of this crop were to be stored for six months the saving in insurance alone would be approximately $7,000,000. As a matter of fact many of the existing warehouses could be remodeled satisfactorily. The bulletin does not attempt to give any details of an ideal warehouse system, and there are many difficulties in the way of establishment of such. It does, however, assert that improvement in this respect will do much to make cotton growing a more stable industry. Secret Organization of tho Farmers. ?William A. Stackey, a prominent farmer of Lee county, who lives in Bishopville, was in the city yesterday. "What is this about a new society of farmers said to be organized in the state and to have a membership in t your county?" a reporter of the State | asked Mr. Stuckey. "There is such a society," he replied. "I am a member of it." "What is the nature of it?" "That I can't tell you," said Mr. Stuckey, smiling: "the society is sel ^ cret. I can't discuss its purposes. I can only say that if its purposes are carried out, Lee will be the most prosperous county in South Carolina. Mr. Stuckey declined to say whether or not the organization was political, or to commit himself further than as quoted. "At any rate," the reporter said, "you give me this much of a story? that you are a member disposes of the rumor that it is a society composed exclusively of tenant farmers." Mr. Stuckey is a landholder. When the reporter inquired if he could join the order, Mr. Stuckey said that it was confined to farmers. John L. McLaurin. state cotton warehouse commissioner, was asked last night if he was a member of the new organization of farmers to which Gov. Manning referred in his speech at l^eosvnie monuay. "I am not a member of the organi^ zatlon." said Mr. McLaurin, "and I have been told that I am not eligible for membership." Mr. McLaurin said that he had heard of the farmers' organization only in Lee and Kershaw counties and knew nothing about it. ? It was learned last night, but not from Mr. McLaurin, that the farmers' secret organization would have a convention soon at some place not yet selected.?Columbia State, Wednesday. Washington On Japanese Situation. ?The following statement was issued from Washington last night after a conference between President Wilson and Secretary Bryan: "In order that there may be no misunderstanding of the position of the United States in reference to the negotiations pending between Japan and China the following announcement is made: " 'At the beginning of negotiations the Japanese government confidential| ly informed this government the matL ters which were under discussion and I accompanied the information by the r assurance that Japan had no intention of interfering with either the political independence or territorial integrity of China, and that nothing she proposed ^ would discriminate against other powers having treaties with China, or interfere with the "open door" policy to which all leading nations are committed. " This government not only has no thought of surrendering any of its treaty rights with China, but it has never been asked by either Japan or China to make any surrender of these rights. There is no abatement of its interest in the welfare and progress of China and its sole interest in the present negotiations is that they may lie COnCIUUVU 111 a iiuxiinri ?ni?anvi,i to both nations and that the terms of the agreement will not only contribute to the prosperity of both of these great Oriental empires, but maintain that cordial relationship so essential to the future of both, and to the peace of the world.'" England's Wheat Corner.?The information that Canada had placed an t embargo on all wheat shipments except to Great Britain and to the United States for domestic consumption, is said to have "thrown the grain exporters on the New York produce exchange into a state of consternation." The New York Journal of Commerce, however, calls attention to the fact that the exclusion of the United States "is not considered important us there is no likelihood of this coun try importing wheat from its Canadian neighbor for two very good reasons, one being that there is a duty of 10c a bushel due to Canada's refusal to make a reciprocal arrangement when the Underwood tariff went into efTect and the other is that Canada has no wheat to spare." The incident brings to light some facts in regard to to England's corner of the surplus crop. The Journal of Commerce says it Is pretty generally agreed that Great Britain controls all the available exportable wheat surplus in the world, with the possible exception of that of Argentina, and the belief is that she has contracted for practically all that is remaining unsold to other nations of Argentina's supply. Of the remaining stocks of old crop wheat in the United States' visible supply, it is acknowledged that it is likely they are practically all sold to British buyers, and, in fact, there is considerable doubt as to American sellers being able to deliver all they have contracted for, and the opinion is freely expressed that the May delivery will exceed the record of $1.67 reached on February 5, before the option expires. ?Charlotte Observer.
