W. Watkins, extension economist,' who states that the Mortgage Act is' aimed at lightening the mortgage debt burden of American faruners. "The Act is matte up almost entirely of amendments to the existing Federal Fawn l>oan Act," Mr. Watkins explains. "It is provided that after GO days from the date of approval of the Act, the interest rate on all the 400,000 fapm mortgages held by the Federal Isanti Banks will be lowered to 4 Vi? per cent. This will average about ono per cent under present rates and will mean a direct saving of about eleven millions in interest per year. It is also provided that all payments on the principal of these mortgages may be do for ml for a period of five years where tlve new terms are otherwise met. Kven the interest payments may be postponed if they cannot be met. The holders of Federal Land Bank bonds are protected from loss through appropriations by the goveranment to the Land Banks. Plans arc included for the liquidation of4 the Joint Stock Land Banks which have not proven generally popular with farmer borrowers. "The explanation of indirect bene-! fits from this new farm mortgage legislation is based upon the effect that it is hoped this government action Will have on the general farm mortgage situation. While the Federal Land Banks hold about one billion in farm mortgages there are outsanding about seven and one-half billions worth of mortgages held by life insurance companies and others. It is expected that these agencies will in some measure follow the lead of the Land Banks in refinancing mortgages they hold. Provision is also made by which mortgages held by them may be transferred to the Federal Land Banks. However, both parties to the mortgage must agree to do this and the figure at which such mortgages may be transferred' musrt not be over 50 per cent of the: 'normal value' of the land plus 20 per cent of the insured value of the build-in gs. "Farmers who take out mortgages with or have mortgages transferred to the Land Banks within two years will receive the same rate given a(bove. However, they must be members of a farm loan association to; which they wiM subscribe $5 out of every $100 received, this to consti-j tute the stock in the association and to stand jig.^security for the loans.^ Provision is made for direct loans to individual farmers about the same terms except that the interest rate is five per cent. A reservation of $5 of each $100 is made in funds loaned to individual borrowers, this1 eventually to become stock in a farm loan association when there are enough borrowers in one locality." Dr. Weston Tells of Iodine Experiments Columbia, May 30.?Feeding "Spe-' cittl Dryvo" .milk produced at the Ror-| den plant in Newberry to patients in clinics throughout the country resulted in the rapid disappearance of enlarged thyroid gland*, Dr* William ( Weston of Columbia told members of the American Association for the stu-j dy of goiter in Memphis, Tennessee, ! two weeks ago. Other "important findings" from this study of a year's duration Dr. We?toa enumerated as follows: "There is a .marked variation in nature's distribution of iodine in soils and waters: "A striking variation was found in the iodine content of feeds and foods from different sections; "A correlation between tfye iodine content of water ami feeds of cattle and the resulting milk; " A great abundance of milk can ; lx> made available that (Contains from 50 to 75 gamimn of iodine pev quart from cattle feil natural feeds; ?S "Milk dried by the Just roller process does not unfavorably influence the iodine content of .milk; "From the feeding experiments made with' this milk, it was found that it stimulates growth at a mere | rapid rate than milks used in the controls; "We believe as a result of feeding experiments thkl such milk is the ideal method to be adopted in the prevention of simple goiter in children." Raw milk for the experiments in Newberry was obtained from eight collecting points in the state and came from animal? fed exclusively on native feed**. Tests were made in the food research laboratory in Charleston and in the Borden laboratory at Baiivbridge, N. Y. The analytical work embraced 117 samples from South Carolina, nine from Bainbridge and six frcxm Columbia, Wisconsin. At the conclusion last fall of tests with the Newberry dehydrated milk, L. J. Auebbacher, vice president of the Dry Milk department of the Borden company, wrote Dr. Weston that the results fully sustained all claims made by the South Carolina Food Research laboratory. Columbia, S. C., May 30.?Publicity given to the findings of the South Carolina Food Research Laboratory recently btought to Dr. J. W. Jervey, prominent Greenville physician, an inquiry from Dr. Grant Selfridge, a distinguished ear, nose and threat specialist and a research worker, of San Francisco, California. . Doctor Selfridge expressed his great interest in South Carolina tomato juice, of which he had read a great deal in professional magazines, and requested the Greenville physician to send him some samples for the purpose of ascertaining their nutritional value. Doctor Jervey relates that he had considerable difficulty in getting the samples requested as practically all of last year's pack had been disposed of and this year's product had not readied the market. Doctor Selfridge is also understood to be intensely interested in "Spiivtrate," made of native spinach. Doc-tor William Weston thought it significant of the achievement of the fo<>d research laboratory that a research worker so far away had heard of the merits of South Carolina iodine products and that Doctor Jervey dul not find readily available even a limited supply of tomato juice. In this connection it might be remarked that some weeks ago Doctor We> von had a letter from Dr. J. C. Jarvis or Barre, Vermont, eminent food chemist who is a member of an j international group interested in the improvement of the diet, in which this statement occurred: "I do not see why it would not be practical for | u-s as a group to specify to our patients South Carolina tomato juice instead of advising just 'tomato juice'.

It reedo as follows: To the Kditor of The Stale: Heading1 some days ago of two Haile gold mincti, located at different places, 1 recalled what was told an? about this mine Atnte years ago in far away California. But 1 concluded that some one more conversant with the facta would continent on the subject. However, the story may prove of interest to some of your realtors. Of that >ou can be the judge. While I was a resident of California 1 spent some time in the town of Sonora, the site of the onice famous mining cam]) of#California, the Bonanza. the richest body of gold ore discovered up to that time, and 1 don't know if it has ever been excelled. Sonora was the headquarters of many old time miners and they were still quite interested in mining. I | This was in the late '90s. Among the old timers was Louis Blanding, a former resident of Sumter county, South ! Carolina. While talking mines with him one | day he asked me, "What has become of the Haile mine? Is it still being worked?" I replied that I did not know of any such mine. "Why, it is in South Carolina, near Camden," he said. "I know all about it." Ami this is what he told me: "Some years before the ConfedeN* arte war there came to Camden two Northerners who hung around a considerable time, finally approaching a Mr. Haile, who was a large land owner of the county requesting him to sell them a part of his land, .stating that they wished to become planters. Mr. Haile refused to sell but told them they were welcome to iplant what land they wished if they eared to do so. I Subsequently Mr. Haile found out that they had suivk a abaft and were mining for gold with some measure of success. He (then ordered thorn to stop operations and demanded the return of the property. This they refused. Then . ensued a lawsuit to compel thorn to surrender the property, which suit Mr. Haile won .and came into possession of the mine, j which was worked until hostilities stopped operations. The Confederate . government worked it for a time dur-! ing the war, for the sulphur contained in the ore to make gunpowder; with." Mr. Bland) tig added, "I know this, 1 because nry brother, William Bland- j inir^ was legnl counsel for Mr. Haile; in xhe recovery of tlu> mine. Mr. j Hears* of California subsequently acquired the ownership of the property." Mr. Hearst waa the father of the pre serf newspaper .magnate. Being ashamed of my ignorance regarding things of my own state, 1 wrote home for further information and was told that there was such a mine not very far from Camden but not then being operated. J.
