Yield Much Below Normal for South Carolina. Saluda, Aug. 3.?According to report issued by B. B. Hare, field agent of the bureau of crops estimates, .United States Department of Agriculture, the condition of cotton in South Carolina on July 25 was 71 per cent of normal, or a decrease of 7 per cent since June 25. The condition on July 25, 1918, was 83 per cent or nor normal, 71 per cent on the corresponding date in 1917 and 74 per cent in 1916, the ten year average being 77 per cent. It is noted that the deterioration since last report of June 25 was due to excessive rains and lack of cultivation inoident thereto. Rainfall was lighter In the northwestern counties during the month and the prospects for a good crop in that section are very promising. There is much grass in many sections, especially in the Central and Southern counties. The plant has made abnormal growth in practically all sections during the past two weeks, the distances between joints being longer than usual which would indicate a yield very much below normal.

Clemson College, August 4?A circular issued by the Extension Service several years ago on the bad practice of fodder pulling contains some very convincing facts and proofs that should be considered again just at this time. Experiments on the farm or Mr. R. Coker, at Hartsville, were thesource of the facts and conclusions, some of which are here given. The results of experiments for four years on the Coker farm show conclusively that if fodder is pulled when the bottom leaves begin to turn there is a loss of at least 24 per cent in yield of corn. If pulled when threefourths of the leaves are dry, there is about 10 per cent decrease in yield. The 1913 experiments showed a decreased yield of 27.3 per cent when the fodder was pulled early, and the 1912 experiments showed a decreased yield of 13.1 per cent when pulled late. But the above represents only a part of the total loss, since much 1 of the loss comes through the effect V MILLINi Arrive Sc lounceir Johnson, formerly witl ore, is in New York buy it J r . d l.. ii/ la L,aaies ixeuuyiu- wrcui about ten days.

Seed corn taken from a fodderpulled field is much lower in vitality then seed corn taken from a field properly matured and developed; consequently, when such seed are planted a decrease in crop yield necessarily results. And not only will the yield be lowered but the quality of the corn also, for an>thing which tends to lower the yield will i *-? mnot nococ oonco mnro in ferior and waste corn. An experiment to determine just what loss there would be fr?m planting "fodder pulled'' corn as compared with properly matured seed showed that there was a decrease of 7.2 per cent.in yield; and there was 12 per cent of rotten corn as opposed to 2.5 per cent in the other, which means a total loss of 16.7 per cent from the use of "fodder pulled" seed. Add to this 16.7 per cent loss the ^ first effect of fodder pulling (24 per cent decrease in the preceding year's crop.) and you have a total loss of 40.7 per cent. Is it surprising that the yield if corn in the South Is so small? What is the answer? Stop pulling fodder. Plant more hay and stop pulling fodder; but to those who still feel that they must pull fodder, let this be said: Leave at least two or three acres of your crop unpulled from which to select your seeed corn for the following year, so that yon may keep up the quality of your seed and not suffer the second of the two losses set forth above. o Services at the Methodist Church.
