"SAVE THE BABY" CAMPAIGN
l'l ins for the observance of the
State-wide "S;uc the Baby" Campaign
have he >n made in thirty counties
of South Carolina according to
Dr. D. Lesesno Smith, chairman of the
campaign which is being put on by the
South Carolina Sunday School Association
for Children's Week, April
2 1-May 1st.
'i he aim of the campaign was to
roach 10,000 babies, but prospects are
that more than 1 ">,000 babies will be
rea< h< d. The Campaign is said to have
two-fold purposes, enrolling babies
on the Cradle Rolls of the Sunday
Schools and giving information about i
their early training, and second to
give their mothers scientific information
about tlmir physical care. This
campaign is said to be very timely because
of these facts issued by the
Stat0 iiureau of Child Hygiene:
babies under one year of ape
died last year in South Carolina
Jo per cent of all deaths in South
Carolina are of children under five

WHAT S THE MATTER
WITH W1NTHROP?
"It is clear to anyone that discrimination
was shown against the one
College established and maintained by
the Mate lor tne education ot the
women of the State. The appropriation
Dill just passed carried appropriations
directly and indirectly, for
approximately $1,400,000 for the
three-State colleges for men with an
enrollment ot approximately 1,700
student while carrying an appropriation
ol' only $:{0S,6D4.(>0 for the one
State college for women with an enrollment
of approximately 1,100 students.
This is tlie treatment of the State
Legislature for Winthrop College as
summed up by its triends. With no
more light than we now have on the
subject it would seem that 'he word
discrimination is very mild.
The State cannot afford to be nig
Hardly wiili appropriations for edu-|
cation:.1 purposes in any branch, but
why it should eat the appropriation on
this, the only State college for women
below cost of operation, is a bit hard
to see. This is a sever,, blow to the
public schools of the future as Winthrop
trains more teachers than all
the other agencies in the State combined.
We are kind 'o note that the women
of the S ate are organizing and planning
an interest inn campaign in behalf
of this Slate college.

CONCERNING CO-OPERATIVE
MARKETING
2. What Constiutes Marketing
The first article of this series stated
that the problem which co-operative
marketing: by growers is expected to
solve is, "How may the grower obtain
a larger share of the consumer's
dollar?" It would be well now to explain
what constitutes marketing of
a commodity, as there is much mystification
on the subject. Marketing a
crop includes all those steps through
which a crop is put in passing from
the grower to the consumer. There
ire a number of these steps.
In the first place, the crop or com
inodity must be concentrated or assembled
into lots of marketable size
ind similar grade and quality. Growers
frequently sell their crop in a
lump, the good with the bad, the total
amounting to a small lot of mixed
goods. Consumers do not buy this
way, however, and therefore somebody
must take the crops composed of
a mixture of grades from a great
many farmers and assemble from
them even running lots suitable for
supplying thc demands of consumers.
Not only must crops be concentrated
and graded, but since consumers
annot immediately purchase the entire
crop as soon as it is harvested, a
part of the crop must be warehoused
and protected until there is
demand for it from consumers. Some
farm commodities require only shelter
while some require cold storage.
Some may be held a short time and
some a long nine, a part 01 practically
every important crop is warehoused
or stored in some way before it is
consumed.
Most crops also require treatment,
processing, manufacturing or some
kind of additional handling which enhances
tho value, after the grower
disposes of it.
Transportation is another of the
steps in marketing that come between
the growing and the consuming
of most of our farm crops.
Farmers seldom use expert salesmanship
in disposing of their crops
individually, and consumers seldom
buy these crops until after someone
has applied expert salesmanship at
one or more points on the Journey
from the grower to the consumer.
Therefore, we may consider that expert
salesmanship is one of the most
essential steps in marketing.
Another important step in marketing
is the financing of the movement
i of commodities from grower to consumer.
Growers ordinarily receive
| cash for the commodity when delivered
at the first or primary market
place. The product may not be put
through the necessary processes,
reach the merchants' shelves and be
finally sold to the consumer in whose
possession it disappears from commerce
until months afterward. In the
meantime somebody has capital invested
in lhe cor. modity, and interest
must be paid fo? the use of such
capital. Hence, financing the movement
of a commodity, especially non
perish a hie commodities, is one of the
important stops in marketing:.
Still another step in marketing but
one which is of less immediate importance
to tho growers because so far
removed from them is the final retailing
of the commodity after it has
been through the other steps.
Real Marketing Necettary
Summarizing the various steps, we
see that marketing crops consists of:
( 1) Concentration or assembling of
| the commodity; (2) Grading and
I standardizing; (.'{) Warehousing, storing,
processing; (4) Transporting;
(5) Financing; ((5) Expert salesmanship;
(7) Final retailing.
From this we see that marketing a
commodity means more than handling
it as soon as produced to the nearest
concentration point and dumping
it for whatever price may be olfered
on a glutted primary market. Marketing
only begins when that is done, and
the wide differences between the
growers' receipts and consumers'
prices indicate that those who look
after the various steps in marketing
exact very good wages indeed for
their services. In fact, in some of
these steps farmers are coming to believe
that economies might be effected
through co-operative marketing to the
advantage of growers and consumers.
Co-operative marketing would reduce
expense, eliminate waste, and add efficiency
wherever possible in the various
steps in marketing. Wherever
the commodity is being handled as
efficiently as possible already the cooperative
association would take no
action.
It is remarkable that some growers
object to co-operative marketing on
the g.ound that it would take the
marketing of their crops out of their
individual hands and would interfere
with their liberty of action. Such
growers should reilect upon the value
ER'S DEVIL
-ODV.S SO \
PLOVJIKAGc .
that such liberty has been to them in '
the past, and whether after all some
middleman does not perform practi
tally all the steps in the actual marketing
of the commodity. His liberty
I of action only allows him to dump his
crop in competition with every other
grower, whereas co-operative marketing
would elminate such selling competition
among members of an association
and would encourage buying
competition amomr buvers. .Inst
hom this is done is a part of the plan
which will be taken up in later articles
of this series.?Clemson College.'
TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES NOW !
SOUTH CAROLINA LICENSES
The State Board of Examiners for
Teachers is glad to announce that the
task of converting all outstanding
teachers' certificates into South Carolina
State licenses is about finished.
This work was madu necessary by the
1920 Act of the Legislature creating
the Board of Examiners for Teachers.
The members of this board are:
Prof. H. B. Dominick, former super- ,
intendent of the Greer Schools; Miss
Elizabeth McLean, of Sumter City
1 T 1- TT ni ? ~
were 929 applicants. A study of the
records in the office leads one to believe
that approximately 3,000 persons
will stand th^ next examination which
will 1>? held on Saturday, May 7th, at1
each county sot.
The following regulation for the
renewal r\ c lificnte? has been adopted
by the State Board of Education:
"Any outstanding first-grade State
certificate may be renewed upon resentation
to the State Board of Examiners
of one year's successful and
acceptable classroom experience by'
'he holder during the term covered
by such certificates, with his or her j
request for the renewal of a first-'
grade certificate, together with a written
endorsement from the county superintendent,
and from the Board of
district trustees. A second-grade certificate
is renewable only upon the1
I presentation of a record of success-1
' ful and satisfactory summer school
work. A third-grade certificate shall
not he renewed." !(

granted at the request of the county
superintendent must take the regular

of the Teachers' Bureau.
The board began the active duties
of the office June 21st and after plans
were formulated, certificates forms
designed and procured, the work of;
issuing certificates began September:
6th.
The task of certificating over nine
thousand teachers has occupied the 1
entire item of all the members of the
board since the first of September,1
and for five months approximately:
eleven hours of work per day were (
necessary for converting certificates
and correcting examination papers.
The board endeavored to dispatch
the duties of the office with as little |
delay as possible and wishes to ex-'
press its appreciation to the teachers, I
county superintendents and school
folk in general for the patience and
support given in this work. Through j
the medium of the State Board of Ex j
aminers, a profitable and needed ser- J
vice can be rendered the State. The
teaching profession is one of the
greatest which should claim the at- j
ii-imuii m uur peopie, ana tne reacners
should bo classified so that the de
serving: may be encouragd to hetter
service and those who are poorly pre-'
pared assisted to better preparation.
The State has provided assistance for J
the needy schools and the people have
responded nobly to the demand for
better salaries for teachers, and now
the public has a right to expect better
servie. The first grade certificate j
has been heretofore an indefinite
quantity as to a teacher's fitness to
teach school and it is the purpose of
this board to issue certificates such as
will carry with them some idea oi the!

have been issued since September 6th
consist of thL. following classes:

to the fnrmers of South Carolina to j
reduce their cotton acreage this year! j
was issued today by the South Caro-1 j
lina Division of the American Cotton j
Association.
"We have given you the facts re- j
garding the world surplus of cotton i '
and we now leave the case with you," ! .
says a statement issued by the association.
"If you go ahead and plant j
another full crop when there is al- J
ready enough cotton on hand to supply
the world for a year and a half
you will be making your own bed and
you will have to lie on it. We have
done everything that we could possibly
do to warn you and you will
be walking into the trap with your
eyes wide open.
"At the conference held in Washington
last week regarding the cotton
situation it was the concensus of
opinion that the only hope for the
future of the South lies in a heavy reduction
of the acreage.The New York
bankers, the administration at Washington
and the cotton experts all
agreed that another large crop of cotton
would mean financial ruin for the
South.
"A heavy reduction might result in
our getting a much better price than
now available for the cotton still on
hand. A large crop means that the I
price will go much lower than it now ,
u.
"If you can grow cotton at 6 cents
a pound and make money at it, go to
it. If you can't you had better plant
food a** feedstuflfs this year."

SOME DARKY LEGISLATION
Those Southern Democrats who 1
claimed that the Republican Administration
would be an improvement up- j
on Wilson's Administration may be i
interested to learn that a bill has already
been introduced in Congress
requiring Southern railroads to give
the negroes the same privileges as
white people on sleepers and coaches,
and coaches.
If such a law is passed it is hoped
that sonic of the Wilson hateis from
the South will be among the first to
bunk with burly negroes on pullman
cars. It is rather early to be getting
a taste of what is coming to us under
the great Republican Administration.

DR. E. Y. MULLINS
'resident Southern Baptist Theologl:al
Seminary, Who la Touring 8outh.
Following the close of the second
pear of the Baptist 75 Million Campaign
April 30, several thousand mes- jengers
from the local churches are
jxpected to assemble at Chattanooga,
renn., for the seventy-sixth annual
session of the Southern Baptist Contention.
The Convention met In
Chattanooga last In May, 1906, and
luring the interim there has been a
marked growth in every department
Hia Pnn von f \r%n*a ooHvHIoa an/1 In
the numbers and work of the local
churches as well. The total number of
Baptists reported to the Convention in
L906 was 1,855,784, while last May,
fourteen years later, when the body
net in Washington, the total membership
of the local churches as reported
was 2,961.348, or a gain of 1,105,664.
rhe returns for this year are not yet
available, but inasmuch as it, is known
there were practically 175,000 additions
to the local churches last year
by baptism alone, there is every reason
to believe the showing for 1921
will be even larger.
Growth shown 1nr All Lines.
At the same time there has been a
marked increase in the mem jrshlp
of the churches, there has been a distinct
advance in all departments of
local and denominational work, It- is
aet out. The total number of local
churches has grown from 20,129 in
1906 to 25,303 In 1920; the total number
of Sunday Schools from 11,332 to
17,686; and the number of Sunday
School pupils from 857,244 to 1,835,936,
an increase of more than 100 per
cent. The value of local church property
has mounted from 84.501,122 In
1306 to 374,273,728 in 1920. "n Increase '
of more than 1600 per cent, while contributions
to missions and benevolances
in 1906 were $1,501,369.67, as
compared to $7,331,266.55 in 1920, an
advance of practically 500 per cent.
Fourteen years ago the contributions
to all purposes In a year were $5,941,*
283.44, as against $21,327,446.67 for
1920.
Next Meeting Important.
The approaching session of the
Convention is regarded as vitally important
to the future of the denomination's
work. It is hoped that by the
Convention two-fifths of all subscriptions
to the 75 Million Campaign will
have been paid In cash and that the
program for the completion of the
remainder of the campaign task can
he formulated at this time. Dr. J. B.
Gambrell, president of the Convention,
and Dr. E. Y. Mulllnr. who recently
completed a tour of Europe, where
they carried fraternal pieetlngs to the
Baptists of that continent, will give
their Impressions of Baptist opportunity
in that country, while Dr. George
W. Tract and Dr J F. Love, who represented
the Fo*eign Mission Board
at the London Coofe-ence last sum
mtjr ?ui ii me imisio.i neias or Europe
were considered, will tell of the new
territory of Spain, Jugo-Slavta, Hungary.
Roumanla and Southern Russia,
which Southern Baptists are asked to
occupy. This territory is as large as
tlfo Southern States and has a population
of 128,000,000.
All the boards of the Convention
will report the largest year's accompllsmmonts
In their history, the Home
Mission Board 'being scheduled to report
the completion of its million dollar
loan fund for church building. In
addition to the aiding of a thousand
churches during the year with gifts
and loans for the erection of new
houses of worship. The Sunday School
Board will report more than $1,000,000
In s?rlan lor the year and with collections
as well as sales better than at
any previous time In Its history.
