Ftr fifty yea ra, C ; Pevir i a::' J irar.’ ■ treu 'As. :t w: It ; r 3C3 to the - From the State of December 24 For weeks there h;.\e been per sistent rumors regarding changes contemplated in the Slate depart ment of agriculture. These re ports have caused much comment' throughout the State beet-use of the great inurot the public takes in work that hr-i been accomplished by the department of agriculture under Commissioner Watson. Some other things are known: about others there is conjecture and some inferences. The following seems to be the situation: Ira W. Williams. United States farm demonstration agent for South Carolina has been transferred from this State to Georgia, supposedly becaues of apposition by the Gov ernor. E. J. Watson- Is to be displaced when his term expires in March. His place, offered to one or two oth ers before, is now offered to A. D. ai Hqdson of Newberry. , Of all the departments of the State government there is more patronage attached to the office of the department of agriculture than any otner. The State departmei- of agriculture Is constituted aa fol lows and receives the following ap propriations: Direct appropriation about 319, j 000. About 120,000 is received from the feed stuffs stamps. This work employs about .ten men, including inspectors and chemists. The legislature appropriates 910, 000 for the United States farm deu oi:-itration work and an e-dditional appropriation of $25,000 Is received included in the direct appropriation. There are employed in thia feat ure of the work a State £-gent, two district agents and more thon 40 county agents. The county agents come under the dirqct supervision of the State agent aira also come in direct contact with more people lu the State thc-n any other class of representatives of the State government. For Cora Bt^edlwg. ' There it also an appropriatlor:- of 83,000 for corn breeding, which is expended under the direct su pervision of the commissioner of agriculture and two other members of a commission provided by the act During the past several week* Commissioner Watson has been very active in his work to help the far mers of the State and tue South to devise some plan or means wher « by the situation with reference to low priced cotton might be relieved. Early in the fa-ll he attended a meetit-g of the cotton growers and business men in Montgomery Ala., was elected president of the South ern Cotton congress. The elec tion to this position devolved upoc-' him the leadership in the fight for a higher price for cotton. Later acting aa the agent for the fcj-- mers of the State and South, he at tended a confereLce In New York, when a loan of $50,000,000 was proffered on the cotton croiudn the South by a-syndicate of New York bankers. The proposttlor- met with some adverse criticism at the/fime and has never been worked out. Several weeks ago Commission er Wataon, as president of South ern Cotton congress, end not as the commissioner of agriculture. South Carolina, Issued a call- for the presl- dei-ta of tjte Farmers’ unions and the repreaents-tlvea of the gover nors, taking part in the New Or leans cotton conference, cotetltuing the executive committee, to meet in New Orleans on December 18 to discuss plans for n reduction of the cotton acreage. Letter to OonuniaaloBer. It was the intention of Commis sioner Watsoc- to attend the meet- ing of the commltee. Just before Commissioner Watson was to de part from the State a letter, K is reported, was sent him by the governor Informing him that the position of commissioner of agri culture, commerce a-id industries wool* be declared vacant shoald he (Commissioner Wataon) attend the conference. The governor further* stated in the letter that Mr. Watson must ask permlssloi:- to leave the Bute In the future or leave with out his position. To get back to the tangle in con nection with the farm demonstra tion agent must be acceptable td C. L. Blease, governor of South Carolina. If the next farm de monstration agent is not accepta ble to the governor of Sooth Carolln then the governor wHl use his veto power and cat off the State-aid ap propriation of $10,000. Let it be remembered here tha-t the national govermei* gives 925.- 000 to ^aist m the work. Thu spaas that the Bute farm de monstration agent, who haa charge of the expenditure of 986,000, must be acceptable to the governor of South Carolina. n«e Enmity?

Includ ed amoi-g the vtr.ors ;tems was the one giving |5,oct .u Gie South Carolina Porn Breedei. at sedation, for corn breeding work, in this State and for the corn expo'ltlon. When the measure came before the committee for final cot■dderr.tion, A. D. Hudson, with others associat ed with the exposition, was out of the State. Members of the ways and means committee were averse their opinion to the appropriation contending thr-’ no material results had bee. obtained. Ira W. William being an expert agriculturist/ was called in by members of the com mittee end as an official of the fed* erat department of agriculture, waa asked to give his opinion as to the results secured from the corn expo sition and the Corn Breeders’ £-sso cial ion. He gave hi.s opinio: , the exact nature of which la not known Following this conference the com mittee cut out the appropriation for corn breeding work. Just-" before the .final adoptio: and when th* measure wr-s before the finance com mittee of the senate, an aopiopt,.- tlon of 1*3,000 was Inserted. During the latter part oi the last seeslon of the legislature it wt« rumored that Mr. Williams would be removed from South Carolina, and It was reported that Dr. Kt-cpp was about to take this acctlon on representations made by him by Gov, Blease. The governor, it waa said, refused to content to the approprlt-tion of 910,000 for the farm demonstration work unless this waa done. Later, however, Mr. Bleaae withdrew his objection ai I consented to the retninment of Mr. Williams here. It is known that, meantime, Irt- W. Williams, togeth er with several friend*, explained to the governor that he had not mixed In politics and that he had L-?ver waged a rc-mpalgn against the governor. The appropriation of 31H.00O for the demonstration work went through and nothing more was heard about the removti of Wil liams until a few weeks ago. It Is said that L. L. Baker of BiEhopvllle, a district agent of the work. Is spoken of for the position of State agent. The Str e agent appointed by Dr. Bradford Knapp on the reeommen- dai ion of the commissioner of agri culture. The State agent has the appointment of 40 or 60 subordin ate workers throughout South Car olina. That is at.-- explanation of the Interest of the governor in an election year of having the depart ment operr-ted to suit him.
