The industry has "v progressively declined since the War l Between the Sections for./ reasons a which I shall briefly explain. r Gulf states competition has been the v principal factor. Machine processes v 1 of planting, cultivation and harvest- * ing can he used on the gulf coast ? which are impracticable in South f Carolina. I : e Our rice lands are too soft to bear r heavy apparatus, and, besides, under the practice heretofore followed, the canals and .laterals, by means of which the crop is alternately flooded S I and drained, intersect the. fields at v too close intervals to allow of the ef- > ficient operation of such . machines.

Another. disadantage under which the South Caro ina. planter nas competed witn me ;ulf coast rice grower is that his lowage system requires, for the mainenance of dikes and trunks, considrable quantities of lumber, which in ecent ycirs has been prohibitively xpensivc. For these and other reasons ihe louth Carolina rice acreage in 1918 ras probably the lowest since 1867.
