OPERATES IN KOI'R SOUTHERN STATES Federal Land Rank Stimulating Agricultural Development In South Carolina The Federal Land Ilank of Columbia operates in the States of North Carolina. South Carolina. Georgia ^and Florida. According to a state Hfcfnt by the secretary oi' this hank. Mr. Arnold, to a class in Rural economics in the University of South Carolina, 354 national farm loan a>socjations^have been organized to dat(^ in these four States. Ninetyseven of these are in South Carolina. The total loans to farmers in South I Carolina from this Federal Land $ank now amounts to $4,750,000. j The largest loan association in the district is that in Anderson. Through this approximately $275,000 has been I loaned to the farmers constituting Tits membership. These federal land banks are or^ ganized on the principle of ultimate ownership by the farmers patronizing them. Their establishment in | March, 1917, market! one of the most forward steps in l-ecent years towards placing the farmer on a sound financial bAsis. These banks are established "to lower and equalize loans with tra privilege of repayment in install| ments through a long or short period of years at the borrower's option; to | assemble the farm credits of the na. tion to be used as a security for P^Pbey to be employed in farm develI opment; to stimulate cooperative action ?monc farmers; to make it easi er for the landless to get land; and to provide safe and sound long term investments for the thrifty." They stimulate farm ownership for energetic young men of limited means and provide capital at the j reasonable rate of five and one-half per cent, interest for farm improvei ment by thrifty farmers. In addition to this they discourage absentee landlordism in that those who rent thenlands entirely are not allowed loans. The flexibility of the farm loan act makes these banks practically unlimited in the extent of their possible usefulness alone the lines of farm ownership and improvement. It is encouraging to note that so many communities in the State are becominu alive to the availab'e opportunity. o Tl- ThilrJ l abor i in: uuu v. "Tfle End of Child Labor" is the name of an able article in a recent | number of The Survey by Dr. BroadLus Mitchell. Instructor in Political Mjkonomy at John Hopkins Universiy an alumnus of the University of south Carolina. After breiflv sketching the history of the opposition on the part of mill owners and managers to child labor laws. Stat? and Federal, the last chapter of which was written by Judge Boyd of the United States Court for the Western I District of North Carolina in holding ' unconstitutional the child labor section of the war revenue bill. Dr. Mitchell concludes as follows: ' "It was once thought that the negro problem in the South devolved upon the shoulders of the liberating North; New England pniianinropisi> established schools in the heart of the South gave funds to churches and sent missionaries to the colored population. Then it made to be felt slowly at first that the negro question was primarily a Southern one; Southern white men accepted positions of supervision over negro education, and alumni of the University Georgia did the field work for a fc^vernment report on negro schools. now it begins to be sensed that ^^ pps after all. to increase the B^Hrespect and industry and efficiof the colored population, it is to rely upon the negroes them^Kvcs; a negro education society ^Vnich a decade ago received from a ^white association ten dollars to accomplish its organization has just ' raised among negroes of the State $40,000 to carry on its work, ^"" ^ir Horace Plunkett viewed English attemptes to solve the Irish question through political interference, and was persuaded instead in favor of agricultural cooperation at home. He wanted an economic remedy for an economic ill. "And so in the South with respect | to the liberation of the children from the cotton factories Employer's attempts to stem the tide will be of no avail. New England before this refused to learn from England's expe rience and tried to cling to child labor alter it was doomed in public L opinion and economic advancement. Bj^he South will go through the expe^^bnoe of England and Xew England chief men will not look the fu' ture in the face. Happily, there are many who not only acknowledge the facts but welcome them. These prefer to scrap spinniner frames built low the child operatives rather than scrap the children." o Arrow and Xitro Club shotshells are steel lined and WETPROOF? no extra cost.
