What Kind of an organization is J the South Carolina Development i Board ? i A. It is a l&rge number of citizens 1 banded together to carry to a successful conclusion such activities as will bring development to the agricultural, { industrial and natural resources of , the State; better health conditions and schools; encourage farm home ownership; improve community life in all phases; encourage up-building of f the live stock industry; stimulate the , diversification of farm products, and so add to the health, happiness and prosperity of the State; the general t cleaning up and then the advertising ? to the world of the products and opj portunities South Carolina has to * offer. i Q. What was the origin of the j Board? r A. A group of citizens who attendt ed the Southern Land ^Congress in h ?? XT? 1 1 1 mio - . uaiaiiuaii uu iiuvciliufl 11, 1910, alter hearing of the organization work in the other South Atlantic and Gulf f Coast State3, decided to take up similar work in this State. They formed , the South Carolina Land Owners Asi sociation, had it incorporated, employed a manager and opened an office. Q. When and why was the name of the organization changed? A. On March 9, 1920, in Columbia, was held the South Carolina Recon! struction Assembly. At this gathering it was decided that the name of i the organization should be changed to ' the South Carolina Development " Board for these reasons: (a) In response to requests from - Governmental Agencies, Civic, Com mercial and Trades Organizations, ! desiring to coordinate general development purposes through the medium , of this organization. i (b) That the name might convey a 1 clearer idea of the purpose for which the organization was formed and is , functioning. (c) To clear away an utterly unfounded notion in some minds that the organization was promoting real estate propositions and disposing of cut-over lands, and that it was organized to serve some special interests instead of tho people of the State as a whole. 1 Q. How is the Board governed? A. The members, each having a vote, elect tho members of the board of control (a specified number of the 1 board of control is appointed by cham' bers of commerce and other organized bodies having similar aims and purposes). The board of control elects the board of directors, except that a ' specified number is appointed by other ' organized bodies with similar aims and purposes. The board of directors ' elects the executive committee and the officers. I Q. Do t.he officers or members of I the boards receive any salary? i A. The only persons in the organ; izations receiving salary are the manager and his assistants. The members of tho boards of control and directors, the executive committee and the offic "\s do not receive any sniury. Q. What is the plan of the operation pursued in the promotion of activities? A. The Board will have eightteen commissions, as follows: : Markets Live Stock and Live Stock Credits Live Stock Sanitation Grains, Grasses and Forage Rate and Transportation Farm Labor Land Settlement Community Life Publicity Legislation Assessment and Taxation Education Health and Sanitation Drainage and Drainage Projects Civic-Commercial Organizations Inter-Racial Relations Good Roads Natural Resources and Industrial Research The personnel of these commissions is selected by direct nominations, The directors are governed by these nominations and appoint the members of the various commissions. Each commission is iii direct charge of its own activity. Q. Do the members of the'commissions receive and compensation for their services? A. The eighteen commissions composed of practical men, familiar with the tasks assigned to them, will serve without compensation for their ser vices. Q. What are the actual plans for , carrying the activities through? A. Each of the commissions care-, fully considers all matters submitted to it pertaining to the activities in its charge. Suggestions and plans will be received from individuals organized bodies, state officers and depart' ments and federal officers and departments. Campaigns to stimulate public interest and to unite public sentiment will be conducted by direct mailings to individuals and organizations, the hold'ng of public meetings and other publicity. The board of control will prepare annually a com preheniivt program of work, which will be refered to the membership for consideration and adoption, plank by plank. This is a thoroughly democratic plan. Q. What activities of the Board are now considered to be of the most importance and of the greatest service to th eState and citizens? A. It is thought to be vitally important that there be established in one or more communities in each county, a Home Cash Market for live stock and diversified farm products. Assessment and taxation is another activity whicn affects every taxpayer in South Carolina. The efforts of the commission dealing with this matter will be directed toward securing popular support for legislation to equalize assessment cf property so that no man shall pay the other man's taxps. Q. What i3 meant by a Home Cash Market ? A. The forming of a local corporation to buy and sell live stock and diversified farm crops produced by farmers. This means a better method of distribution of these commodities, which will secure for the farmer a higher price and insure the consumer, both at home and abroad, a lower purchase price, by the elimination of the unneccessary middlemen and their profits. The establishment of a Home Cash Market also stimulates production because the farmer, when he drives to tow.i, finds a satisfactory ready cash market for his prod icts. Q. What ij mernt by South-wide activities ? A. There are organization in our sister Southern State similar to this Board. All of these organizations use as a general clearing house, the Southern Settlement and Development Organization. It is hoped that through the whole-hearted co-operation and co-ordinated efforts of nil our Southerrt organizations, we can secure federal and other aid :n the general development of the agriculture, industries and natural resources of the South. Q. What has the South Carolina Development Hoard accomplished ? A. The Organization started active work'one year ago and to date its accomplishments have been: (a) The Orangeburg Packing Plant sold to practical packing houses operators, which insures a Home Cash Market in South Carolina for cattle, hogs and sheep. (b) The enactment of the model drainage law which will encourage the formation of drainage districts; be the means of reclaiming potentially productive land and do much toward the elimination of the malarial mosquito, as well as stabilize the market tor drainage bonds. (c) The enactment of the new State stock law abolishing the free range. This makes possible the elimination of the Texas fever cattle tick and will encourage the lending of money on live stock as security. (d) Educational publicity for con Btructive activities.' (e) Boll weevil conditions met by the establishment of a number of Home Cash Markets in various counties, for live stock and- diversified farm crops. (f) Preliminary work done toward organizing the sweet potato growers of South Carolina. Such organization means protection of the sweet potato industry in South Carolina and the securing of better distribution and prices for that crop. (g) War on malarial Mosquito declared and anti-mosquito movements put under fri-y in various counties. (h) Fly elimination campaign inauguated. (i) Live stock credits assured on sound basis. (j) Encouraged the establishment of markets for peanuts in the State. (k) Educational work toward strict enforcement of the cattle tick law. (1) Campaign to suppress hog cholera inaugurated. (m) Farm home ownership encouraged. (n) Better health and sanitation campaigns inaugurated in several counties. (o) Movement started looking to introduction c?. white farm labor in South Carolina. Q. How will the funds of the Development Board be used? A. All expenditures will be made in accordance with a budget. This bud get will be made by the Board of directors. No part of the funds of the Board will be used in buying stock or bonds or in the conduct of commercial enterprises. Q. What assurance is offered that the Development Board can carry through a successful national campaign of publicity for South Carolina. A. Other States have done it, notably California. Western Canada a few years, ago made a publicity campaign which took so many farmers out of the middle west that Iowa's population decreased 2 per cent. Men who know, assert that California never had the potential possibilities that exist in South Carolina, and of course no part of Canada compares with South Carolina. Progress already made in this State in a few directions?organization of the cotton v, growers and drainage for instance? prove that Souti} Carolina CAN capitalize her advantages. Bat \t would be' futile to commence a~ campaign of national publicity for South Carolina until the State is ready to reap the benefits oi the campaign. We first must eradicate those conditions which have been retarding influences. In the words of Governor Cooper, "we must make a study of our oonditions, learn what our handicaps are, get them out of the way and then telLthe world what we have<" Following its fixed policy of dealing with specific propositions and not in generalitis the South Carolina Development Board believes that South Carolina united on a definite program of development will rapidity put herself in position* to incite and hold the enor-mous benefits of nation-wide advertising. And when she has reached that position, she will do the advertising. , Q. "Why should I join and support >this movement?". A. Because it is a movement summarized in the slogan: "Do it for South Carolina." You did not ask why you should co-operate in the various war drives o i the past three years? you did it because your patriotic and loyal conscience told you you should do it. This nrovement makes a similar appeal. The South Carolina Development Board is essentially a patriotic movement; it means the advancement and development of your Home State. The essence of its appeal is . DO IT FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. . HOME DEMONSTRATION AT WIXTHROP For the first time, courses in home demonstration work will be offered this summer in the curriculm of the Winthrop College Summer School.
