Of Crop Conditions and Offers j |?g
Advice to Farmers.
Commissioner Harris has been JH
king a personal survey of the 3
p conditions in South Carolina ??|
i offers some advice to the farm- ip
i. "Usually by the middle of April,' H
I ssa
rs Mr. Harris, "we find planting jgj
cotton well under way, and indeed 11
ite a lot of cotton above ground. IS
is year, owing to the unusual Q
ather, vei'y little cotton nas been pf
nted here or anywhere in the cot- pj
i belt. Not over 50 per cent of the 19
jrage crop has been planted and M
jreat deal of the land is yet to be
;pared for the planting.
"Therefore, in order to make a
rmal crop, every day from now,
iceforth must be ideal cotton m
ather. .. , Zll
'The spinning trade Is in the most tM
jrishing condition in its history, Ig
;1 it is being more genenaly recoged
that with the large demands fjj
goods at present high levels the ?H
ce of Southern cotton is relative- ?||?
cheap. According to the law of f|j}
ply and demand, cotton should |j|

mors and spots holders. If they vg
itively refuse to take present !JS
it will immediately advance to
