This expense, it Is stated, will not exceed one-eigbth of 1 per cent. The loan is mado for a period of one year, and on the ap proval of the committee may be re newed fdr another six months. When the farmer sells his cotton and retires bis S15J00O note, he pays interest on the 111,250 at the rate of G per cent, for the time he has the money. He would also pay Interest on the ? certificate, but this interest he hi m se If would get. The 3 per cent is held until the liquidation of the entire fund Is complete. The borrow er pays 6 1-8 per cent, straight inter est, which includes his share of the operating expenses, but does not in clude losses to come out of the 3 per cent. The terms of the loan forbid any one to charge commissions for con ducting the negotiation for. the loans, the banks are expected to do this gratis for their customers and can afford to do so. as they will receive the money, on deposit or debts due.

It is well to remember, however, that tho federal reserve bank at Frfch'mond is the bank of bankers, and that relief can only come' through tpe member banks of the federal re serve system. Under section 13 of this act, ''any lateral reserve bank may discount rote, drafts aad bills of exchange orlaink of actual commercial trasmcli '^at lo, notes, drafts and billo o. <>v' issued or drawn for agrlc:!'.i'.<al or commercial pur i>o??j." etc., etc., for a period of 30. days: "Provided, That notes, drafts and bills drawn or issued for com' merclai purposes "or based Jon live stock, and having a maturity not ex ceeding six months, may be discount ed in an amount to ho limited to a percentage of the capital of the rod erai reserve bank," etc. /Ruls amount is fixed' at 10 per cont. of tho unim paired capital and surplus of the bank. , .. .

LThe. committee appointed by .Mr. McAdoo.* -after 1 congratulating' "him upon his ruling as to warehouse re ceipts, said that "tho average market value of middling .-ottcn. for the past six years has beta in excess of 12 cents per pound," that "cotton does not deteriorate when proper^, ware housed," etc., ?te. "It can, therefore, be carried o-er until the restoration of normal business conditions enable,, the world's consumption to absorb it The committee therefore is ot the opinion that every effort should be made to assist the producers to hold ?ioir cotton for a price Uiat will min imi:? their loss,4' etc, stc.

There are, however,, sources one?*toclhe. centr?t?.board, of which Mr. McAdoo is exofficlo chairman, that can,, meet the; Bltnatlo^. vTh^^un^e^ lying principle of th? federal reserve act ts that It I*.possible to marshal all ot the1 'astetff bt tho ontlro-System at Its weakest, point, inBtead of, as here tofore, eacb bank being left to stand or fall alon v Can (?ripe! Rediscounts. Under sec lion 10. subhead B, five members of tho reserve , board in Washington can. by an affirmative vote, require other federal reserve bapks to rediscount paper which has been discounted by the Riohmond bank, and this with or without tho in dorsement of tho I member bank. So far as I boo, there are no limitations to. the amount of such discounts. Under section t5 of the sct^ federal resorve notes are iosucd at the dis cretion of the federal reserve board In Washington, for the purpose of making advances to. federal reserve banks. The oulys collateral security: required is a collateral equal to th? amount of the federal notes issued and it denned as bsWfc the notes and bills accented under the provisions of section ft?which I have quotcd> as entitled to discount without reference to the capital stock ami sur plus or tho up??, Wovn fur agricultural yurpUBG* "baEcd'on actual existing values.'4 to wit, warehouse receipts for cotton, as construed by Mr. McAdoo's statement last Augnst, and the letter ot - Mr, Harding above set forth. . : Again, under section IS, the secret.

This new currency law, properly understood and wisely administered, Is the greatest boon in finance ever conferred upon man. In time it will solve the problem of the "predatory rlcb.t underpaid labor and depressed agricultural products, all involved in the subtle process of making, Issuing and control of money. It Is the first effort to Impart elasticity to our cur rency system and is a distinct rec ognition of the face that credit, not gold, is the real money that is carry ing on the commerce and maintaining the civilisation of the world. The farmer, with his cotton trans formed Into a liquid aesot, has only one barrier, the local banks, between falm and his government. . / What to Do. ? I think every bank should join the reserve system. I see that It 1b to be definitely decided soon upon what terms State banks may enter. There should be intelligent cooperation be tween the farmer, Hen merchant and banker. The bankers' association should agree at once to take notes with warehouse receipts as collateral,' all agreeing on the basis upon which discount and loans should be [asked for. If the time is to be for more than the discount period, then tho note should be negotiated through tho Wade loan fund; if-for short time, through Richmond; ' Let us remember thlST-rthat we can' not establish an arbitrary-price, but must devote our energies to establish ing a free and natural market for cotton, merely holding until this can be done. Cotton is selling under dis tress now. Thero 'Is no established price. It runs from f to. T 1*4, cents, depending on .whose cotton .It. is. It must rise because: \ ;' la'It Is about. 4 cents under the cost of production'and 6 cents under Its average annual value for fiv? years past 2. European res?vves are exhaust ed, and it wor.ld oring 20 cents per pound In Germany today. The mills are still at work even In Belgium. I met a Belgian In New York who, It Is said, Is buying cotton for two years ahead. I also learned that the gov ! ernmcntB of Austria and Germany were buying distant' futures in New York to protect their manufacturers against the advance certain to come with a cessation of hostilities. 3.

McAdoo organized a gold pool among the banks, and $100,000, 000 in gold was shipped to the Bank of England to protect New York se? curlties. Under our 25 per cent, gold reserve plan, $1 in gold equals $4 in paper curency. Thus $400,000,000 ot money was taken away, which, had it been used for the purchase of cotton, would have provided for one-half of the crop. Southern banks contributed $12,000,000 of the amount High priced cotton will protect New ork securities; it 1b what gave them their value, and it Is the only thing that can maintain them.

For promoting bream route work and organizing a dairy live stock aseocltti tipn, a dairy meeting will bo held:hext Monday at 10:30 a. m. at Chandler's Store, near Pelzer. J. H. McClaln of Washington, in charge of dairy inves tigations in the southern states, and three of the dairy field agents from Clemson College, will be at the meet ing and will talk on various phases of practical dairying. All farmers who live near enough to the meeting place to get to it conveniently are urged to be there Monday morning. As the result of a meeting held.at Pelzer recently contracts have been placed for sixteen cream separators.

On th? other hand, a large pro portion of these pigments Is deposit ed in the body fat and elsewhere in the cow.
