LAND SETTLEMENTS IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Clemson College.-Secretary Hous
ton, of the Department of Agri
culture, said in an address rocentll
delivered to a conference of editors o'
agricultural journals: "It would bI
desirable to facilitate land settlemeni
in more systematic fashion. Th1s hai
been too long left to the haphazar<
intervention of private enterprise, anc
'the Nation has suffered not a little
from irresponsible private direction
I think it high time for the Federa'
and State governments both, as wel
as local communities, to seek to ai'
in land settlement by furnishing actua'
facts, reliable information, and agri
cultural guidance to begining farmers
and to promote well-considered settle
ment plans. It is particularly vita;
that the process of acquiring owner
ship of farmers be encour.ged ani
hastened."
These views are also shared by the
Departmient of Labor and of the III
terior. Secretary Lane has associat
ed with him, some of the best engi
neers who have beei collected witt
reclamation work of various kinds

beckons to the man more insistantl3

made easier for the man who wishes t<
own a farm to get it on iasonabli
terms. And these ineasuires cur
a far worse evil. They provide the
very best security against the discon
teint likely to arise front inemilploy
m(ent and a lack of food. The idle e.cre:
can give healthful and profitable em
ployment to all who can be place
upon them; but home ownership must
be the goal, and fair annual profits
above a normal standard of living
mius-t be the means advanced to so
cure these settlers. Almost ever]
man can find congeniall employnem
at his home, if he owns it, or is be
coming the owner of it. A few acret
will suffice to provide food supplies ir
large part, for the family, and a sur
pius for market. Organized methodi
of disposing of the surplus In an3
community will go far towards pro
viding fuds for the other necessaries
of life.
In South Carolina, ethere are aboul
19,500,000 acres. Two-thirds, or aboul
13,500,000 acres are in farms. One
third of the State lies absolutely Idle
for agricultural purposes; it consists
of roads, towns and cities, and worn
out an swamp wood land. But of the
13,500,000 acres in farms. creps art
grown on less than half. To be exact
the crops of 1917 were grown on 6,198,
000 acres. Probably at least as niuc
more can be used for growing
(tops and for pastures. but Ie'
us say there yet remain onll1
2,000,000 acres in the State fit foi
farming. As 35 acres is the size o,
the average farm cultivat ed, there it
'room then for nearly 60,000 more farir
families. Whpt a vast amount of land
sot tlenmen t could( be dlonie in South
Carolina; what untold wealth could be
added-'to the property lists, if the loca'
communities, as Secretary Hloustor
suggests, abould aid beginning farm
ers!
Federal and State aid in the settle
ment of large tracts is necessary, but
nothing ('an be done anywhere un'iess
the people who anlready own t.he land
are willing to sell it at reasonable
prices, and to welcome the new set
tiers.
We have perhaps the best all the
year climate in the who country, as
is shtownt by the location of so many
army camps in tho South. We cer
tainly have vacant land in great abun
dance. It is cheap otuly because of the
sparsity of our poputlationt, a~nd their
use of poor agricultural methods.
It is still coinparat ivoly cheap, and
at prevailing prices, is ini many parts
of the State, an attractive investment.
