Ladd, Hrst United states senator elect? ed as a candidate of the non-partisan league, announced here that his Bret aim in congress will he to promote a better system tot marketing the grain and other food products of the farm. "It is a serious problem that faces congress." Dr. Ladd said. "Something must h?? done and within the next few years If we are to save the farming industry from demoralization. F,ven now the most cd' the men left on the farm are middle aged and elderly? the younger men are looking for greater opportunities. "1 believe that dealing in futures On shorts?selling grain in which the seller never had an equity, which never existed and which will never he delivered?is a species of gambling which does not stabilise prices or 1 benefit the producer or consumer, it is a matter which every legislator ought to study until he has a just comprehension of it and then consid? er whether it is not worthy of his at? tention. "The co-operative movement must go hand in hand with helpful legisla? tion in improving the situation. Farm? ers must come to own their buying and selling organizations. "If legislation is passed making funds from federal reserve banks and federal land banks available to these organizations farmers will be able to hold their grains until they are need? ed instead of dumping them on the market at the end of the harvest." ?r; Ladd added that effort should be made to bring a better school sys? tem into rural istricts and give the farm children the same chances for education BS hohl in towns and cities. Y. M. C. A. Scholarships Three Remain Open to South Carolina?150 Opportunities There remain about 1">0 free Y. 11 Cj A. scholarships in South Carolina for ex-service men who can Qualify before their county committees for spring semester of 1921. These ug gregare about $10,000 with final limit until June 80, 1921, and if not award? ed by April I, 1921, may be re-allotted ltd states which have greater demand. County allotments have been increas? ed accordingly, and notices will be sent to each county at once. These scholarships are good in all prep., high, lilting, business, corres? pondence, Y. M. C. A., agricultural and mechanical schools, and all schools under strictly collegiate grade. Many so-called "colleges' are not really so, and wherever committees lean classify a SChOOl as not collegiate ..it given better chance Of success,'as ! preparatory work is the main end in i view.' not college work. The New York office defines, what is considered Collegiate, and applicants and com? mittees must be governed accordingly. "An award for any course requiring high school diploma or its equivalent for entrance is a collegiate scholar? ship. An award for any course with lower entrance, requirements, even if given in an institution called a col? lege, i* a 'general' scholarship;" Within the state of South Carolina negroes are entitled by ratio of ser? vice in war to lf> per cent of these scholarships, and this proportion will be reserved for them until February 1st, and then, if not used, may be re allot led' by the state committee to oth? er applicants. Also If any counties do not use their funds by February 1st, the fame may be re-allotted to coun? ties which have a greater demand. Bo far negroes have ndt called for t in Ir share. These "general" or prep scholar? ships may be applied lor to county obmmitteest usually composed Of the probat** judge, county school superin? tendent and principal of high school in each county seat. Printed lists and application blanks can be had of them or direct from state super? visor upon request No application should be sent to the state office until passed by county committee. These Scholarships i 0 not aim to relieve Students of all burdens but to share them. Neither are they anything like a bonus for all, but the aim is to as? sist good men to get an education which was interfered with by war. Re? quests should always be governed by the student's ability, and bs moderate, In fairness to all other men. There are only a few "collegiate" scholarships left, and these are re stricted lo "drowning students' that is. men who have absolutely gone aground financially and cannot make lit. These are carefully considered and investigated by state committee, and applications for collegiate should come direct to state supervisors, with endorsement of dean or bursar, and with rase briefly and fully made out for financial need, No other cases can be considered for want of funds. These scholarships of both class? ics?have been ranging from $10 to 1200. and during 1020 so far there I have boon granted 514 amounting to $43,000, an average of about $85 each. On account of the large number of requests for informaUon, applicants [are requested not to write to state of ? lice until they have Inquired of their jachool bursar or ilean, or COUnty COm Imtttee, for Information and blanks, as [till of Ihese should be Informed and [furnished with supplies.

There Ii being formulated in Wash? ington, under tlie- leadership of Asbury I'. Lever, of l iui I aim loan board, ? bill dOVleed to furnish the farmers Of the nation with the capital ess< n tial year i>y year for the orderly mar? keting of their crops. The principles on which the bill is being framed, as1 we understand ihem. appear to have groat merit, and we look to the legis? lation proposed as likely to be of the very great* st value to agriculture. The Federal Reserve act did not properly or adequately differentiate bot ween general business and agri? culture. This has been detrimental to the latter, wlllch hoi financial prob? lems peculiar to itself. The farm) i loan banks, on the other hand, while 1 i representing a great advance, were provided merely to furnish loans to | farmers on general farm mortgages. They are land banks and accept real estate only as security for loans. They I do not. therefore, offer financial fa? cilities to farmers wherewith to ban- j die their crops. The Federal Warehouse act, for j Which Mr. Lever was responsible, is only beginning this year to be taken advantage of. But it also lacked one feature namely, some method where? by the commodities warehoused could he financed other than by in? dividual effort at local banks. What Mr. Lever proposes to do now is to extend th<- principle underlying ; the Farm Load banks to tue opera? tion of 'organised warehouses. Ho proposes, as we uno< island It. to di? vide these warehouses Into geograph? ical or commodity groups, with a board of trustees in charge of each j group. These boards of trustees would then offer for sale short-term Iseouriiiee, based on ths value of the ; warehoused commodities, up to say. j CO per cent of the total crop value. I These short-term securities would have all the financial standing that present bonds of the Farm Loan banks have, the only difference being that they would be based on commodity values instead of land values. There is every reason to believe that in? vestors generally, a> well as banks, would be In the market for these short-term certificates, which could be jnade extremely attractive, both from the viewpoint Ol return and se? curity. The plan is an exceedingly simple one. as most good plans are, and ap? pears also to be loot-proof. The fact that it has be n rj proved as finan? cially and economically sound by Sec? retary Houston might arouse some prejudice againsi it, but even Homer sometimes nods, and we suspect that the secretary's approval will not be fatal. The Federal Reserve board now yearly cries in pain at the thought of having to provide funds for the crop movement, and the financial idea is to move the crops with the utmost speed possible, keeping the money in the agricultural districts for as short a pe? riod as possible, and bringing both crops ?nd money back to the me? tropolitan Centers in a few short weeks. The Lever scheme would lake the crop movement partly out of the seasonal financing and stabilize com? modity values the year round, at the same time bringing general invest? ment funds into the market for handling the crops. It would bring about financing of the crops by the nation, not the government, and the financial resources of the nation would be nun?; thai ample for the task. It would mean scientific in? stead of haphazard Rnenclng. Agriculture has n? edOd to employ the business methods common among big corporations, which involve huge credit resources, ability to maj'ket intelligently and Standardised meth? ods of handling. These things con be brought about by operation of >he Federal Warehouse act. supplemented by the very simple but obviously feas? ible financing scheme Mr. Lever has worked out. The bill has not been finally for? mulated, but is still in the process of framing, is open to amendment am| suggestion! concerning >it will j gladly he received, vv< are confident, For Financing erly Marketing of Ci by Mr. Lever. ami those assucti with him in the study of the protol At hist sight, it seemr to us to be most important constructive sugfjsl lion yet made in th< attempted so?S lution of the crop-marketing prob-^ lem. it appeals to us as even more promising than the scheme i<- eg pod banks to handle tue exportable crops. Moreover, it Is in the closest harmony with recognized economic principles. It simply puta agricultural commodi? ties on a sound security basis, afford" ing them those credit facilities to arhich it ha-s blWn,)N been admitted they are entitled, but of which they have been deprived by lack of proper machinery. We hope to see the Lever plan whipped into final shape and promptly pd.ssed at the Ut^? mber session of congress without partisan division, since there is no section of the coun? try and n? industry in the country that it would not benelit.
