The ioint cotpmittee representing the Columbia Clearing House association and the Chamber of Commerce, having in charge the application of Columbia for one of the 12 land hanks, met yesterday at the People's National bank, and perfected the program for the hearing to be held in Columbia on Wednesday, October 25, by the federal farm loan board. Frank R. Wilson of the division of information, of the federal farm loan bureau, at Washington, was present as an advanced representative of the farm loan board. The program which has been prepared was submitted to Mr. Wilson and approved by him and he gave the committee the benefit of several helpful suggestions. Mr. Wilson left last night for Jacksonville. The hearing before the federal farm loan board will be held at 9:.30 a. m. next Wednesday in the federal court room. The board wiill come here from Raleigh, where a hearing will be held the day before. The board will travel in a private car. After the hearing, an informal luncheon will be served flt fh O J offovfAn n?-?A 4-L/v ? - wvuviouii^ anu tUCIl tuc mumbers of the board will be taken to the State fair grounds. Other entertainment will be provided for the evening. The Columbia committee has invited a number of representative farmers and bankers of different sections of the State to be present and discuss different topics. It is the desire of the board that, as many farmers as possible attend the hearing, and it has been the custom at these meetings held elsewhere for members of the board to _psk questions informally of farmers who are present. One of the strongest arguments which will be put up in favor of Columbia is the large number of farm loan associations which have been organized in South Carolina. It is beheved that this fact will have great weight with the board, and the work or organizing these associations is being pushed as rapidly as posible by Commisioner Watson.
