Wooden houses are still more I
common in this country. Where |
bric4t, stone and other materials have
j been used for outside walls, wood has
entered most largely into the interior
finish and equipment of our homes.
I Our fuel comes directly or indirect'
lyrfom the forest. Wood is a direct

j by using large quantities of wood
for mine timbers. Electricity developed
from water power kept constant
' bv forested hills is transmitted over
I
wires on wooden poles,
j The forests furnish a large demand
for labor. Forests also furnish recreation
within their borders. Forj
ests influence beneficially the health
.of a community because of their pure
air and pure water. Planted forests
; have changed regions of swamps,
mosquitoes and malaria into beautiful,
healthful, prosperous and wellinhabited
communities. Deforesta|
tion. on the other hand, has changed
populous regions into uninhabited

Civilization is the result largely of

forests. Our ideas of each other, of j

It is, therefore, evident that the

|Farm Mortgage Act
jTo Kase Debt Burden
1 Ckanson College, May 22.-?'Ter-J
hups when the ternvs ami conditions
of tho emergency Farm Mortgage'
| Act are bettor known there will bo
, more interest among farmers of tho
Cotton States in tjiis section of tho
much discussed1 Farm Act," says'
D. 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'.
I Representative V. G. Arr.ctte, of
Williamsburg county, has turned back
to the .state treasurer $10, or 10 per
cent of his salary as a solon for the
last session. Presumably the state
I treasurer credited it to the conscience
1 fund. No epidemic of such refunds
1 of salary is expected to sweep tnis
state, but this is the second solon to
he attacked by conscience in that
manner.

June.

How Haile Gold
Mine Was Started
The followir>& letter which was
written to the State tells of the
founding of the Huile Gold Mine in
Lanca.>icr county and it is an interesting
tale. 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. R. Sumter
