IROF. CEE TO MAKE TENANCY SURVEY Prof. Wilson Gee of the University of South Carolina has been engaged by the farm management branch of tIhe department of agrietlture to un dertake a personal survey of farm teiianey in South Carolina. The survey willsbe made during the months of July and August, Professor Cee selecting the sections of the State 1where a la rge percentage of white tenanicy prevails, the idea of the sur 'ey being to study the social aspects osif the tenant system as worked in South Carolina. Its object will be to detet mine the factors which when -stres:sed will facilitate ownership. The inicrease in the number of tenant farm ers; has become the subject of deep vonev rn to thought fil students of rural rnd i ons and the department of agri rukte and the University are there -fore making the survey with the intent of Iaer advising the tenants how to acqur and own their own farms.

This work is beingi done by a graduate student in the de pditment of rural social science, one of the new departients established last year. The study is a thoroughI consideration of tenancy in South Car olina, its historical setting, itswforms and its distribution throughout the State. The information when com pletely gathered will be published as a bulletin of the University. and dis tributed throughout the State. Economic and social surveys of Harry and Saluda counties have also been begun by advanced students in the department. Professor Gee is now expecting to augment this list consider ably in the next few months, the plan being to work up such a survey for every county in the State in the next few years. 'Ihese surveys when comn pleted will also be published in bulle tin form.

Its passage was only prevented by the assassination of President McKinley. "The proopsed commission would be composed of two cotton growers, one financier one cotton manufacturer and one manufacturer of cotton mill . machinery, and will hold for a terml of five or six years. The appointment F of this commission would so enlarge the demand for cotton goods that it would be found that 15,000,000 bales of cotton would fail to supply the I worbl's pressing needs. The problem of over production would be solved. In fact, it would hardly be possible to produce enough cotton for the wvorld's needs after this comnlmission had had sufficient time to open up the chan nels of traide. 'In arranging for this legislation we wish to say that the results of I our investigation clearly ,brings to j ligth the fact that there has been no j ef'ort on our part to broaden the mar ke for cotton goods whereas Europe for years last 11as largely handled * the foreign markets so as to brillg her a maxi nium of profits on our cot ton industry and today is pu'pling the most active camlpa ign through special col iols anild representatives in every section of tile known world, and secuiiIg special trade contracts which will increase her trade and debar our interests in these countries."
