'CHANGES MADE IN COTTON FUTURE ACT ??? Reenactment of the Law Makes But Few Modifications of Regulations The following inform ation is taken front Service a:ul Regulatory Announcements No. 10 of the Office of < Markets and Rural Organization ol the Department. The act making appropriations for the Department of Agriculture foi the fiscal year ending June 00, 1917, and for other purposes, approved August 11, 1916 (Public, No. 190), contains a renactment, effective September 1, 1916, of the United States t cotton-futures act of August 18, 1914, with a few changes, the more important of which are, substantially, as follows: Til f i,n untrnntl, ciiitilitriuinn nf con Ill kliv o\- V. i 1 V I I OUUVIi V IlliV/ll VI k.'V. v tion 5 authority is conferred upon the Secretary of Agriculture, in case of disputes referred to him, to include in his faidings a complete class ification of the cotton for the purposes of delivery on fuure contracts. Under the act of August 18, 1914, his findings were confined to the specific question of grade, quality, or length of staple in dispute. Fori example, is the dispute involved grade only and the cotton was found to he less than seven-eights of an inch in length of staple, the Secretary had no authority to include in his findings a statement as to the length of staple. A new section, known as 6A, is inserted, which provides an optional contract under which parties may, without being subject to tax, agree that, under certain specified conditions, the buyer may demand delivery of the basis grade named in the contract. Section 11 of the act of 1914, which, taxes orders sent abroad, for the making of future contracts made on foreign cotton exchanges unlesn certain conditions are complied with, is I omitted in the new law. Section 13 confers certain additional authority on the Secretary oi the Treasury in connection with thr performance of the duties impoesd upon him. While the date on which the act becomes fully effective i3 September! 1, 1916, asetion 21 provides that so far as concerns any transaction en. tered into prior to September I.. 1916 the old law shall remain in force with the same effect as if the new act hail not been passed. Changes in the Rules and Regulations On August 12, 1916, the Secretary] of Agricultture adopted, for the pur-| poses of the new law, and published in Circular No. 64, the rules an'! regulations in force under the act o;" 1914, with but few modifications. In accordance with the authority granted to make a complete classification of cotton involved in disputes referred to the Secretary of Agriculture, the necessary changes were | made in regulation 2, sections 3, 5. 6, and 31. These relate to the statements which must be made in papers filed in disputes , and the amounts which may be required as advance deposits and assessed as costs. In section 17, there is included a requirement that each sample hall represent accurately the cotton in the bale, shall not have been previously handled for purposes of classificatition, and shall weigh not less than 4 ounces. A new section, 32, is inserted in regulation 2, to the effect that disputes as to the classification of cot^ton tendered under section OA con ^tracts shall be referred and determin-1 ed in accordance with, and shall he subject to, the rules and regulations prescribed for disputes arising under section 5 contracts. In regulation 3, section 1, Atlanta, Ga., is added to the list of markets designated as bona fide spot markets within the meaning of the act. No change, however, is made in the list of markets designated for the purpose of determining commercial differences in the settlement of section 5 contracts. Tn regulation 5, section 2, a complete schedule of costs of copies of p**:- ^tical forms of the Official Standards and for replacments thereof is set out. Other changes made in the regulations are merely incidental or relatively important. In disputes referred to the Secretary of Agriculture after September 1, 191 (>, it will be necessary for the parties to distinguish between those arising under contracts made prior to September 1, 1916, and contracts .nude on or after that date. Disputes arising under contracts made subject '.o section 5 of the act of 1914 may be referred and determined only in ac ordnace with the rules and regulations in force under the act, while those arising under .contracts made subject to section 5 or section 6A of the new law will be subject to the rules and regulations issued undci "he act of August 11, 1916.

C.?The time | for planting crimson clover in South I Carolina rs trorn September 1st in the ? ^ ^ * mwai/ hwi im.Tn pun OF Clio SLUtO to October loth in the most southern part. Other cover crops are planted within the same dates. However, the date for time of planting being a /nonth off doesn t mean that the time for mak:ng preparation is a month off. On the contrary, it means that the farmer should prepare now. Perhaps one common reason that more cover crops are not planted in the south is that we are not ready to plant when the time arrives. Seed should be ordered fully a month before planting time in order that they might be on hand when they are needed. If fertilisers are to be used they should be provided for in the same way. If the field on which the cover crop is to be planted is free of growing crops it should be plowed several weeks before the seed are to be planted, and should have one or two harrowings to pulverize the soil. The matter of having a properly prepared seed bed is an .imimprotant one, and lack of preparation of the seed bed is probably responsible for more poor stands than any other one cause. Plowing in advance gives the soil time to firm before the planting season arrives. If staolo manure is to be used it should be placed on the field before the plow ing is done so that it may be mixed with the soil by the plowing and harrowing. o FORGET YOUR ACHES.

THE HORRY TTER. * NOT FOR SON SERVED IN CHINA u\f a m * w m mm m mm -mm mm i ? i v Miss Lula Whilden of Charleston, Devoted Missionary, Dies in Columbia. (Evening Post.) Miss Lulu Whilden, for half a century a missionary in Chnia, died yesterday in the Baptist hospital, at Columbia, where she had been a paient since last December. The funeral will be held today in Greenville. Miss Whilden was a native of Charleston. Her father was a Baptist preacher, the Rev B. W. Whilden who was prominent in the Baptist denomination in the past generation. The Rev. Mr. Whilden himself became a missionary to China, and his daughter gave her life to work among Chinese women and girls. About two years ago her health broke down, following a rrightful experience with Chinese robbers. She was forced to return to this country, and nas been in the Baptist hospial for the past nine months. The Columbia .State publishes the following review of Miss Whilden's career as a missionary. A woman of extraordinary mind and indomitable spirit, filled with a holy zeal for the Chinese's salvation and welfare. Miss Whilden accomplished as much us any one person for the uplift of Chinese women and girls. She was the founder of the blind girls' school in Canton, said to have been the first school for blind iris in China. She was a teacher, a nurse, a leader, a friend of the poor women of her adopted land. Several times she was the victim of robbers, in her home and while a passenger on river boats. All her possessions were more than once taken from her. ana sne was driven away. Finally, in an extraordinary frightful experience with robbers by night, in her old age, she was so cruelly treated that her nervous system became deranged, from which she never .recovered, returning to the homeland, Miss Whil den traveled and was treated at various places. Last December she came to the Baptist hospital in Co lumbia, where she remained till her death. Miss Whilden was a missionary of the Southern Baptist convention whose home offices are in Richmond Representatives of this board will attend the funeral in Greenville today When she desired to establish a school and home for blind girls in Canton, Miss Whilden was told by the board that it had not. the money. She took up the matter with friends in the United States, and one of them gave her a sum sufficient to erect the ^ i i i necessary Duiuungs, and Dy private subst ription funds for maintenance have been provided ever since. This school forms part of the Baptist "compound" Canton. The school now is under the charge of Mrs. Janie \> Graves, widow of a veteran missionary, who has herself been more than half a century in China. Other build in^s of the "compound" include c school for ftirls, now under the super vision of Mrs. John Lake, who war Miss Carrie Bostick, of Greenville: an orphans' 'home, in the charge of Mrs. R.

Greene; a girls' school, under Miss Mary An-< derson; a kindergarten, under Miss' J. T. Wiliams; the Tung Shan Baptist Church, built by the children of the Sunbeam societies, and the Graves Theological Seminary. Miss Whilden's life was enwrapped in all these Christian establishments. Her heart was there. An incident which occurred two weeks ago illustrates how her life was identified with the Chinese. The Rev. and Mrs Edward T. Snuggs, who are missionaries in China, supported by the Edgefield Baptist Associations of this State, visited Miss Whilden She had not spoken coherently for perhaps two months. The visitors tried to engage her in conversation but without success. Then, in the Chinese language, they sank to her "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" Instantly her eyes opened and in Chinese she . conversed with them a little. o "Mouth breathing" makes children stupid ? ? 9 j D.

I INTEREST KEEN IN RURAL CREDIT LAW Federal Loan Board Finds General Approval of New Plan. Washnigton.?The Federal loan board has returned to Washington after a "tour through twenty-nine States to gather informaion for its guidance in dividing the country inL twelve farm loan bank districts au \ thorized under the new rural crjdiu law. The tour began at Augusta. Maine, August 21 and took the board to the Pacific coast. A similar trip will be taken soon through the South and Southwest. In a statement the board expresses satisfaction over the results of the hearings held thus far and predicts that the plan of putting the farm. loan banks into operation before Feb j ruary 1 next can be carried out without change. "The keenest interest in the federal farm loan act was manifested by farmers and every class of people in the communities visited,' said the statement. "The law was universally approved by farmers, business men and bankers, who assured the board of their cooperation. "The need for the federal farm loan law was especially emphasized by the wide inequalities in interest rates disclosed in the hearings, these rates ranging from five per cent per annum to five per cent per month. I "It was shown in every State vis- | ited that even the industrious farmev I of modern means who had only a small farm, but who could offer unquestionable security, was unable t< get farm crdeit on any terms. "In many States it was found tha4: the farmer was never certain that he could effect a loan, however good the mortgage security, and that the incidental delays were serious and frequently defeated the purpose of the loan. "In several States it was called to the attention of the board that joint stock land banks were being organized by questionable means by stocT: salesmen or promoters who are taking advantages of the farmers' desire for loans On the amortized plan to sell stock to farmers. Farmers are advised that there is no necessity for subscribing to the stock of any private corporation for the purpose of securing such a loan, and are cautioned not to do so except upon an investment basis. The board suggests that farmers made no investments in such land banks until they have first inquired of the federal farm loan board at Washington as to the character and responsibility of such organizations and of the men who are organizing them. No joint stock land banks can be organized under the federal act except with the approval of the federal farm loan board." CHEAP FLOUR 450 Bbls. Flour (bought before advance) 1000 Bu.
