MILLION AND THIIBE-QUAliTEUH Hair? EorociiKt nu Cotton Crop for 1W20-Condition ?7.5 I?W Cent. Washington, Aug. 1.-Continued Imp roy om ont In tho colton crop through August, amounting to nu In crouso of moro than a quarter of a million bales In tho month, was an nounced to-day by tho Depart mont of Agriculture in lt? forecast o? ? total production of 12,783,000 balen, based on Aug. 25 conditions, Itotnarkablo growl li took place during August, ofliclals said, but tin crop is from two to three weeks lat?', and a lalo fall is necessary for favor able termination nf thc crop. Itnli weevil d.image will be greater than usual, they said. The depari ment based its estimate on the condition of tho crop on Aug. 25, which was announced at 07."> por cent of a normal, 111 a statement commenting on cotton conditions, thu dopartmcnl said : . The cotton plant has grown won derfully during August over the en tire belt as a result of almost con stant rains, but this growth during the past two or three weeks has been largely at the expenso of fruit, and the plant, although large and vigor ous, is sappy, The crop in the nor mally dry areas of Texas and Okla homa, where the ample rainfall was benetlcial, and in al' the northern portion of the belt, has shown abso lute or relative improvement for Au gust. Generally speaking, the early set of bolls was satisfactory, and while the bolls are not now present in proportion to the size of the plant, there is a fairiy satisfactory sot of bolls. "The cloudy, wet weather and cool nights, with large growth, has pre vented the plant from overcoming its initial lateness, and it is from two to three weeks late over most of tho belt. "The moist August conditions have been very favorable for the boll wee vil, which is very active in all in fested regions, from central Texas to central South Carolina. The loss of a large part of the square? now set ting, and a considerable proportion of tho small bolls and many large ones as a result of weevil damage, is reported throughout this area. Holl worms are also active to a damaging extent In the same territory. For a .favorable termination of the season a late fall is necessary. Early frosts would do great, damage, and tho harm resulting from boll damage by weevils will be in greater proportion than ordinary, because the damp weather tends to rotting of the en tire injured boll instead of only the lock affected. Much rotting is report ed in the central areas. "The abandonment of planted fields since the date of the bureau's acreage estimate of .lune 2 5 has been slight, and probably less than the average. .

Solicitor Kurt/. P. Smith has re signed. His resignation came as another great surprise lo the people of An derson, and in an interview this morning Mr. Smith was very frank about the matter. Ile said: "The result of lite election held yesterday shows that Mr. Harris is the choice ot' the people for the office of Solicitor of the Tenth Judicial Circuit, so l to-day wired Governor Cooper my resignation as Solicitor of this circuit, the same to take ef fect at once. "No one realizes better than I that it is no small Honor to have been Solicitor of this circuit, and I deeply appreciate the. honor of having serv ed the people in this capacity, and thank them for the honor conferred upon me. During the six and a half years that I have held this office 1 have striven to give the best possi blo service, and to discharge the du ties of the olfice in such a manner that the people could never feel that 1 had been unmindful of the trust reposed in me. 1 think I cnn say, without being misunderstood, that twice I have been made glad--glad to have served in this capacity and glad to be relieved of the responsi bility of the oUice.

"Westminster, Aug. 30.-Editor of Koowee Courier: Please give me a small space for a few words to "the man who holds Puck hy the tail." Tho I"KO of Limo is my theme, lt seems that the far mer is the only fellow of all the avo cations that cannot be educated in his specific line of business. The covering of soils and soil building, the preserving of soils and the use of lime, and its value, are subjects that have been talked and taught all over this county and published in the columns of your valuable paper, and now, at the expiration of only four years, the question springs up again, along with the question of lime and how to uso it. Lime is positively not a fertilizer. Do not get the idea into your head that it is, or if you have got that idea now, get it out Just as quickly as possible. Its chief value is to be found in cases where there Is plenty of litter on low, soured lands, or in case you want to sow clover and grases. Hut Just for clean lands on which one desires to make cultivated crops lime will prove a detriment and cause the loss of both time and money. Any one who may be contemplating the use of lime will save money by conferring with men who have tried it out. C. W. Hauknight, ol' Walhalla, can give some valuable information. To know what will succeed and what will not is the soc re I of .success. Sow clovers, of whatever kind that may suit your fancy, and improved grasses, but use lime when you do it. (I will take orders for lime.) As to Fodder Pulling. I saw an article not long since in regard to fodder pulling. Now, in the very outset, let. me' say to you farmers, save all the roughness that can be saved. Remember this ad vice-let the roughness be what it may--fodder or rag weeds or what not. Put as to tho value of fodder as i stock feed, it is fine If pulled at tho i proper time, and properly handled. | As tb the decrease In tho value ot i the corn crop, the fellow who does I the work bas the situation entirely I in his own hands. There has been on | estimate made that corn production : Is reduced by 4 0 per cent through tho pulling of fodder. If that bo tho case, what per cent crop would a fellow have after foddering bis corn crop for the third year? Accord ing to my calculation bo would lack 2 0 per cent of having anything at all. So I figuro It out that that fel low's linc of reasoning ls all "gas." Let's not try to mislead any ono. Yours truly. M. (!.
