There are mahy people who will be
ffc Interested in on analysts of the cen,sus
report on cotton ginned by counts
ties in South Carolina for the crops
of 1920 and 1921, made public as of
~ November 21, and printed yesterday.
1% This report shows a total for the State
rm< of Cotton ginned in 1921 of 684,617
12j bales as against 1,089,443 bales for
nn 19.20; linters not included.
'?' The cotton crop of South Carolina
l"T^Q for the several years last past, ex*
elusive of linters. as given in Shepy
' person's "Cotton Facts", was as follows:
1,462,227 bales in' 1919; 1,561,726
bales in 1918; 1,267,135
bales in 1917; 970,702 bales in 1916;
1,174,213 bales in 1915.
In 1-915, 1916 and 1917 the acreage
was considerably reduced. In 1916 a
dirastrous storm did great damage to
me crop mrougnout a large part
the State. The crop this year has
been considerably lens than half the
normal crop as shown by the ginning
figures for 1918 and 1919.
A study of the figures in detail
will show that in fourteen counties of
the State the boll weevil this year
did practically no damage. These
fourteen counties are Anderson, Cherokee,
Chester, Chesterfield, Dillon,
% Greenville, Lancaster, Marion, Marl.
boro, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg,
Union and York. In one or two of
these counties, as in Marion and Marlboro
for example; the ginning figures
this year.are smaller than in some
of the big years in the p'ast, but they
compare favorably with those for
1915, 1916 and 1917 and with last
year. In some counties, as in Dillon,
Greenville, Pickens, Spartanburg and
York the yield is distinctly larger
than last year. Such fluctuations as
have occurred in the fourteen counties
named are normal fluctuations.
These fourteen counties produce*'. J
thin year over 400,000 bales of cotton,
or about three-fifths of the total production
for the State. This would |
have stood as a Rood yield for these
[ ] fourteen counties at any time. They
? ginned 427,000 bales in 1917 and
356.000 bales in 1916.
3 There is another group of counties,
eight in number, where the yield
this year has been decidedly better
than half as large as in a normal
year when the whole state was f-ee
uf the boll weevil. These eight counties
are Abbeville, Darlington, Fairfield,
Florence, Greenwood, Laurens,
Lee and Newberry. About 145,000
bales of cotton have been ginned In
these eight counties, or a little over
one-fifth the total for the State.
These 8 counties never have made
ic the biggest year more than 300,000
bales of cotton, they have never
avtraged anything like that. All of j
tliem have been seriously affected by 1
- ? *1
iuc do11 weevil this year but in none
of them has the production been cut
to less than 50 per cent of a normal
crop.
It appears, then, that the twentytwo
counties named have produced
over four-fifths of the total cotton
grown in South Carolina in 1921.
ThiB leaves sixteen counties still to
b considered. Of these sixteen counties
there are five in which cotton"
: ?"? practically disappeared.
Beaufort. Berkeley, Jasper, Charleston
and Georgetown together have
g.nned this year only 2,417 bales, a.s-|
against a normal- ginning of 40,000 ,
bales in the recent past. Five or six
years ago 'lie Aotton crop of Beaufort
County amounted tc^ 6,000 or 7,000 ;
bales a year;' in 1918 it was 9,745. .
Berkeley's cotton crop has been cut'
from a normal crop of 10,000 of 11, I
0C0?in 1918 it was 16,133?to 823 :
this year. Jasper county grew 7,296 |
bales in 1918, its normal crop until
the boll weevil came being 5,000 to
6,000 bales. Jasper this year has ginned
681 bales. Charleston which in]
1918 grew 18,176 bales of cotton and i
which had a normal crop of 10,000 I
to 12,000 bales, and Georgetown. I
? which until 1919 had a crop of over !
* 5,000 bales a year, have ginned this
year together only 526 bales. The
boll weevil has practically destroyed
the cotton industry, at all events for
the time being, in these five .counties.
The following table will show the
counties in which the boll weevil has
made its greatest ravages this year: ;

In the counties which lie between
the Savannah river and the Pee Dee
river and from the coast to the center
of the State the boll weevil has
now done sufficient damage to put
the cotton crop of South Carolina virtually
in half. Some of the counties
listed in the table Just given may be
Sable next year to increase their yield
over this year, poor seasons having
bad something to do with the diminished
yield in 1921. On the other
?] hand the counties in the group first
Fiven which escaped injury from the
boll weevil in 19.21 can scarcely hope
0to be so rortunate in 1922. The weetil
is moving northward in South
S Carolina as well aa eastward. The up~
per counties should not be hit so hard
?] as some o* the lower counties have
glm fx been but they will be hit next year
EiSj \jtt and the yeitr after Just as Abbeville
and Greenwood ->nd Edgefield and
, Newberry and Laurent bare been bit
j this ye*r.
! We do not tee how anyone can
study the figures for South Carolina
and not he convinced that to long as
the boll weevil remains with ut we
may iook for a permanent reduction
in the cotton yield of South Carolina,
as compared with pre-weevil conditions,
sufficiently large to make it
lout of the question for this State to |
produce at the outside over a million
bales of cotton in the most favorable
seasons. It will be a marvel if it ever
goes that high. In a bad year it may
fall decidedly below half a million
; bales. When we take this into consid'
eration and consider further that
: what the weevil is doing in South
Carolina is being duplicated in Georga
and Alabama the conviction grows
that the shortage in the American
crop is bound to be sufficient to
bring about a permanent improvement
in the price just as soon as
something can be done to stablize

HOME DEMONSTRATION DEPARTMENT.
(Conducted by Miss Etta Sue Sellers)
The South Carolina Home Producers
Association.
The Home Demonstration Club people
of South Carolina under the leadership
of Miss Christine N. South are
beginning to realize that a cooperative
organization handling the products
of many producers is in a betteV
position to establish and maintain
outlets for these products than are
the individual growers. As a result,
we have a state wide organization
I known as the South Carolina Home
! Producers' Association. This organisation,
founded as it is for the purpose
of disposing of the surplus products
of the farms converting the same
into cash, has the best opportunity
to succeed as does any organization
which fills a well defined need.
i It is ? knnwn fsir-? (Vinf ^vi-.ro ! ?.,
.tions brought into being as a result ij
e: an enthusiasm created by an appeal
to prejudices or misconceptions,
! are not nearly so secure as one creat;
ed by a well recognized need. Success;
fill, cooperative marketing ventures
usually come from small beginnings,
: and are the result of a gradual permanent
growth.
A Few Milk Facts.
If the modern housewife knew the
amount of care used in handling milk
I by the modern dairy she would use
j more care In the handling of It in the
: house. A few suggestions in that
[line might be appreciated at the present
time.
The first one is to take in the milk
as soon as possible after it is delivered
and put it on the ice. Wash the top
of th# bottle before pouring any
ox the milk out of it. Keep the milk
as cool as possible at all times. Pour
out only enough milk to meet the
need of the moment. Do not pour the
whole quart in a pitcher and set it
out on the table for breakfast and
then return it to the ice box and take
it out again for dinner and then return
until needed again. It is best if
you take out Just what you need each
time and leave the bottle on the ice.
Do not set the milk on a window sill
where the sun can strike it and let it
sthnd all day and then blame the milk
man because it is sour before night.
In most of the large cities of the
country public schools conduct nutrition
classes. Every child is weighed
and measured for height. Children
that are apparently undernourished.
which is indicated oy not Dring nor- T
mal as to height and weight, are put |
on a milk diet, which is furnished by
the school or by some civic organiza- |
ticn. In the thousands of cases that .
have heen reported they have yet to I
find a single case where the diet has i
failed to show a marked improve- '
ment in the children, both mentally I
and physically.
In more than 90 per cent of the |
cases under observation of children i
that were backward mentally the I
reason had been shown to be a lack i
of sufficient vitamines in their diet. '
It is surprising what splendid |
! drinks can be made by the addition
of some flavoring syrup to a half !
or quarter glass of milk and then
filling the glas3 with charged water.
Any flavor ' can be used for these
drinks, with the exception of lemon,
which will cause the milk to curdle.
However, a delicious lemon drink can
be made by taking some lemon flavor
and adding it to one half glass of
buttermilk and filling with charged
water. The addition of a little salt
before adding charged water and 'a
little grated nut meg afterwards will
greatly improve the flavor. There are
numerous others recipes that can be
used and are easily obtained by anyone
Interested. ?M. V. Anisdon, Pa.
