It goes without saying that Green
wood is delighted that the collegians
tave decided to hold their contest
mere this year, and the fact that they
,ome again without special pleas
makes it all the more gratifying that
this city has been selected. For many
years Greenwood has been made the
scene of this happy college gathering,
and each year the citizens of the city
have been more anxious than ever to
have them back again as guests.
In addition to the selection of Green
wood as the place for holding the con
test, the committee last night select
ed the judges for the event but their
acceptance is desired before their
names are given for publication.
A very important change in the con
stitution -was also made at the meet
ing here. Heretofore the names of the
speakers, together with their subjects
and the colleges which they represent
were placed on the program. In the
future only the number and the sub
jects will be made public, until after
the speaking has been completed.
While the judges are out making their
decisions the presiding oficer will in
troduce the various representatiYes of
the colleges.
At the meeting here last night, -Sec
retary 'Warren T. King, of the Cham
ber of Commerce, appeared before the
members and cordially invited the as
sociation to be the guests of Green
wood again this year. The usual ex
penses borne by the city were gladly
offered by Mr. King. In response to
his invitation, the collegians express
ed their thanks and their deep appre
elation for Lhe reception this city has
heretofore tendered the association.

UNREfT FOUND
AMONG FARMERS
Postofilee Department Sonds Out
Questionnaires. Thought of Famine.
Washington, Jan. f.-Indications of
a widespread spirit of unrest and dis
satisfaction among the farmers of the
country, so threatening as likely to
disturb the existing economic struc
ture, is considered by government offi
cials to be revealed in more than 40,
000 replies to a questionnaire recent
ly sent out 'by the postofilce depart
ment. The replies as thus far digest
ed were summarized in a report pre
pared by George L. Wood, superin
tendent of the postofilce department's
division of rural mail, and read to the
senate postoffice committee today by
James L. Blakeslee, fourth assistant
postmaster general.
The views of the 40,000 or more
farmers were obtained by the broad
casting of 200,000 coplies of a question
naire throughout the agricultural
states asking for suggestions whereby
the postofilce department might aid in
cutting down the cost of living.
Answers to the questionnaires have
been coming in since the middle of De
cember at the rate of 1,000 a day, and
as summarized by officials show the
major complaints of the farmers in
numerical order to be: Inability to ob
tain labor to work the farms, hired
help and the farmers' children having
been lured to the city by high wages
ald easier living, high profits taken by
middlemen for the mere handling of
food products and tack of proper agen
cies of contact between the farmer and
the tultimate consumer. Many of the
replies. said one of those who bad
looked then over, probably as many as
50 per cent., indicate that the writers
contemplate either leaving their farms
or curtailing their acreage, because of
the growing feeling against nonpro
ducing city dwellers.
Commenting tonight on the replies,
Assistant Postmaster General Blakes
lee said: "Such a condition at a time
when the predominant cry is for pro
duction, and still more production, can
not but constitute a grave menace."
Before the senate committee, be
characterized the situation as "dis
quieting and portentious of disastrous
consequences." This opinion was ex
pressed by Mr. Blakeslee after a mem
ber of the senate committee had re
marked that the replies seemed to
have come "mostly from a buineh of
bolshevists."4
Iacerpts from a numhtlSber of letters
taken at random from the more than
-10.000 already on file at the postot1ce
department showed the trend of
thought among at least a considerable
prolortion of the farmers of New Eng
land, the Middle Western states and
the agricultural section. "The time is
very near," wrote a farmer at East
Catham, N. t. "when we farmers
will have to curtail production and
raise only what we need for our use
and let the other fellows look out for
themselves. Labor union are more to
blame for the high prices than any one
else. People are trying to get pay for
what they don't ('arn."
Wrmit inrg from Yalmiyras, .lo., antother0)
farmer' said: "I almost fear a famine,
farm hell) everywhere is flockung to
the city, Inured by short hours, high
wages and the promise of a good time.
Sone one. I fear, Is going to stiffer if
this conldiltion is not remedied short
;r)('laring that tihe whole onus of
the high cost of living rests 'with the
middle man, another Missouri pro
ducer advocated the establishment of
mulnicip~al markets to be served by
parcel post dIrect. "I sell buttter 'to
the dealer for 415 cents a pound," his
letter saidl, "and the same butter sells
to the consumer for 80 cents a ;pound.
In the distribution we lose nearly half
and we lose money on the butter at
the first price. Such condlitions are
causing the farmers to leave the farm
by the thousands. WVe have reached
a crisis. You may ask what .we would
(10 with the middlemen. I will suggest
that it be arranged for them to go to
the far'm and help plroduce things. I
understand that they might not relish
working 14 hours a (lay, but. if we get
by3 the neat' fuature there will have IC)
be some useful work done by every
one."
Declaring thlat "great evils confront
us today," says a letter, "redluce the
cost of my foodstuffs to the constmer,
you must first furnish me with first
class labor at reasonable wages and,
second, you must eliminate thousands
of midldlemen who are robbing tihe
people awholesale."
