Clemson College?Secretary Houston, of the Detriment of Agriculture, said In an address recently delivered to a conference of editors' of agricultural Journals: "It would be desirable to facilitate land settlement in more systematic fashion. This has been too long left to the haphazard Intervention of private enterprise, and the Nation baB suffered not a little from irresponsible private direction. I think it is high time for the Federal and State governments tooth, as well as local communities, to seek to aid in land settlement by furnishing actual facts, reliable Information, and agricultural guidance to begining farmers, and to promote well-considered settlement plans. It is particularly vital that the process of acquiring owner ship of farmers be encouragod and hastened." ; These views are also shared by the Department of Labor and of the Interior. Secretary Lane has associated with him, some ef the best engineers who have been connected with reclamation work of various kinds. The semi-arid lands of the West, the cut-over and swamp lands of the South are being visited, that propel measures may bo taken as soon as possible to render them fit for the plow, and open them for settlement In those days of reconstruction when industry may be disorganized bj the cancellation of ^Government con tracts for its products, and by th< demobilization of large bodios both oi working men and soldiers, the land j Kaclr Ana f Tv r% men m aoa (not'ainnllt vvunvuo w win iuuii iiiui c iiininiauiij than ever before. It will certainly b?, made easier for the man who wishes t< own a fann to ge>t It on reasonable terms. And these measures cure a far worse evil. They provide the very best security against the discon tent likely to arise from uncmploy ment and a lack of food. The idle acrei can give healthful and profitable em ploymont to all who can be pl?co< upon them; but home ownership muss be the goal, and fair annual profits above a normal standard of living must be the means advanced to so ;cure then* settlers. Almost even man can find congenisfl employment at his heme, if he owns it, or is he coming the owner of it. A few acrei will suffice to provide food supplies it large part, for the family, and a sur phis for market. Organized method) of disposiug of the surplus in an] .community will go far towards pro vidlng funds for the other necoesariei of life. In South Carolina, there are abor ,19.500,000 acres. Tw<Hhirds, or abou '33,500,000 Acres are in farms. One tliird of the State lies absolutely idh for agricultural purposes; it consisti of roads, towns and cities, and worn out and swamp wood land. But of th? 13.500,000 acres in farms, crops art grown on loss than half. To be exact the crops of 1917 were grown on 6.19S, 000 acres. Probably at least as muc) more can bo used for growini crops and for pastures, but le us say there yet remain onl; .2,000,000 acres in the State fit fo: farming. As 35 acres Is the size o the average farm cultivated, there ii room then for nearly 60,000 more farn families.

The trio Carried the colonel to safety on a stretcher. Mr. Clifford went oyer the top many times and came near being killod on several occasions. He is fifty-one years old and was born at Oxford, England. and has preached the gospel in many parts of the world. When given a chance to serve with the Y. M. C.
