'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.

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.

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

school, under Mrs. G. W. 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.

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."
