Two ' of these are that the development ^ board shall undertake no project which is not specific in Its nature and "J that Us work shalf be mainly along n educational lines. ^ As an illustration -of Just irhat both cf these ideas mean, one of the mem<-\f Hia / nrnmittaa ?T>olrp nf thfl ^ UCi O l/i. wuiu*%b?vv W .? ? subject of assessment and taxation, on whiclj there is considerable sentiment 00 all o.ver the State. rts "The development board cannot, of course, change the existing laws in any Tespect," it was said.

Named for the st-ie of its origin, the "Sjuth Carolina Plan" for tba development of our natural resources and advantages, is attracting wide-spread mention.

The whole theory a special commission is thai a group of men who want, ^particular.thing; dope will w^rk harder and more intelligently fok.that thing' Than would t-^Qse whose interests might lie in other directions. Special . commission! which have beec suggested partly as a result of tae year's activity of the development boar J and largely in meeting a demand for a comprehensive program for the Immediate future are the following: Markc ts. Live stock and live stock credit*. Live stock sanitation. Grains, grasses ?.nd forage Hates and transportation. Farm labor. . ,* Land settlement. . ^ t;ommunny u;o. 4 Publicity. Legislation.

Good roads, j - Natural resources and Industrial research. These commissions, 18 in number, will be set up with the greatest ca:v. In each case the chairman will be the one man in South Carolina who should take the leadership in the matter given to his commission. Each commission will be composed of 12 mem hrrs, this giving every sf-rt^on of the st**te representation and making it po?.ible * to have the benefit of the ability of the foremost experts In all the projects undertaken. The effect of this process of selection, in which members of the "board will participate through a balloting system, will be to bring to the prosecution of the program the very best brains in South Carolina. In the past two weeks there h&vs been a number of conferences at various points in the state at which the form of organization of the development board has been thoroughly discussed, especially the special commissions to handle the major activities of the board. At these meetings the Sjuth Carolina Plan has been warmly commended as simnle. workable ar.f; practical. It will It* put into opera tion at once after the conDletion o? the expansion campaign which is to be made from June 21 to 26. WHAT ORGANIZATION CAN DO IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Michigan has 18,000 'abandoned" farms; thore were sa:'d to be/24.0GO unoccupicd fnrms in New York stale. A few years a:,'o we heard much about Lie abandoned farms in- New England. New England has largely solved its problem through an organization called the Eastern 3:::tes Exposition, which has made f.?.rm life attractive a."d profitable. Xcw York through irs farm buraaus began two yea~s ago to imluce people to return to the farms, with marked succes.--.es in some counties. Now Michigan has formed a semi-official organization called '.he "Western Michigan Development Bureau, which is going to'try to bring ;? " i,T!ienr1 1 r\ n<; into I1SO. i C ^ Uil UCWt Organization with a b:g 0 la the method being employed. New England has proved its value, New York is proving it and Michigan is going to try it. South Carolina has taken a long step in the same direction. For more than a year the South Carolina Development Board has been doing a constructive work for the agriculture of ihe state. In fact, it has done So much', In the opinion of a large number of the leading men, that it is now being urged to equip itself with the membership and resources which will enable it to carry through a state-wide program of natural resource development. It has answered the call by aunounciT^ an expansion campaign from June *1 to 25. The headquarters of th? froarJ is in Columbia.
