MUST CYE PLENTY AID TO NEW SETTLERS Wheeler Discusses Bringing in of Im migrants. REQUIRE ASSISTANCE Preliminary Work Necessar yto Care for Them After Arrival. Will Need Attention. rhe question of bringing settlers from the West for South Carolina lands is being generally discussed in the state. The attitude of the South Carolina development board on this important matter is stated by George R. Wheel or, manager, in a letter written re cently to Secretary Yarborough of the Orangeburg chamber of com merce. The letter follows: I am in receipt of your letter of September 16 on the subject of diver sified agriculture and land settle nient, and note that the thought has occurred to you that a concerted movement on the part of the com mercial organization of the state, together with the South Carolina de velopment board and other agencies, can do much towards bringing in hundreds of farmers every year from the Middle Western territory of this country. Also note your reference to the activities along these lines which have been followed out by a neigh boring state. In connr:ction with this matter, would advise that a vast amount of preliminary work would be required before entering into a proposition of bringing farmers from other states into this state. This board has Skin Sufferers Tf Want Mere Te Of course, if you are content to have only temporary relief from the terrifying itching and burning of fiery, flaming skin diseases, then you are satisfied to remain a slave to ointments, lotions and other lo cal remedies applied to the surface of the skin.

Has b J.L RI planned for the formation of a com mission on land settlement, the du- o ties of which commission will be to e devote its entire time to careful v thought and study of every phase of V the question of land settlement and k the bringing in of farimers and oth- i ers from other states to settle on s the lands of South Carolina. f When a proposition of this nature comes up, the question always arises t -what will we do with the farmers s when tfiey arrive? Who has the land to sell? Who will see that they se cure the land best adapted to the line of agriculture which they seek to follow? Who will sell them this land ? Other questions arising are: Will we have the South Carolina farmers who are already tilling certain tracts of land, sell their land to the new comer and cease tilling the soil, mov ing themselves to some town or city, y and if we expect them to move on e undeveloped lands, who is going to g assist them in the financing of the b proposition during the period of im- A proving the land so purchased by f them until it is revenue producing? p One of the greatest handicaps the 1 South has had is the promiscuous c bringing in of settlers, and once they are in, leaving them hustle for them- a selves, not giving them the needed E financial assistance and other help r which is absolutely necessary if suc- s cess is to be achieved and if they 11 are to become happy and contented a settlers. This whole proposition has been t carefully investigated unI sonic of tle failures that have been made by t those who have been brought into this and other Southern states with out the necessary steps being taken to care for them, is pitiful. b )o Not * f mporary Relief - there is no remedy that gives more f satisfactory results than S.S.S., the t fine old blood remedy that goes down to the source of every blood ' disorder and routs out the germs t which cause the trouble.

It is planned to have a commission n land settlement formed at a very anrly date and at its first meeting rill be presented for consideration ast experiences in matters of this ind, as well as the present plans ow being pursued in this and other tates, as well as plans advanced for Liture activities. In consideration of the above, I hink it best to refer the proposition et out in your letter of September 6 to the commission on land settle lent at its first meeting. 'HONES AND AUTOS RUINING FARMS lanter Thinks He Knows Why Land is Abandoned. The telephone has spoiled the farm romen and the automobile has ruin d the men, according to W. L. Finne an, a Virginia planter and horse reeder, who is at the Hotel Mc Jpin. He deplored the fact that irms have suffered so during the ast few years and blames these iodern things for bringing about the hange. 'Thirty-five thousand farms were bandoned in 1919 in the great Em ire state alone, according to de artnient of agriculture statistics," aid Mr. Finnegan. "You can't make ew farmers overnight, you know nd even though there may be a trong 'back to the farm' movement will be years before they can hope be successful. "But in spite of this lack of in rest in the farm we have fruit nd vegetable crops rotting for want f paying prices for the grower, with rices to the city consumer at exor itant figures. In Vir-inia the farm rs can not get ci agh for their otatoes to pay for harvesting them, et in one Richmond hotel you will ay 45 cents for an order of French ried potatoes. If yo uwant another istance of the inequality, between roducer and consumer, let ie tell ou of cabbage sI saw sold by the armers at 5 cents in Baltimore to he producer dealers, as big as your laste paper baskets-and for which he housewives were asked, and paid, 5 cents later in the day. The farm rs will certainly have to rise in this ecause they can get more for small r quantities. "The housewives and consu ilers ill certainly have to rise in their ight and wrath and eliminate the VEDI Mutles!I s came here animals for >r the trade that we can natter what them NOW. ery best of ,OOO miles. ~& o.

The council met in the apartment of Leon Bourgeoise as the president of that body was still too fatigued to move about. It is probable that the council will appoint a commission although thus far France is the only mandatory that has replied to the council's re quest for information regarding the terms of the mandate proposed and the boundaries of the territory for which the mandatory considers itself responsible. 0 IRRIGATION OF EGYPT Britain regards supervision ovpr Uganda as important because inter fereince with the headwaters of the Nile. which lie therein might injure the irrigation of Egypt.
