COTTON HOLDING UP WELL.
? Good Cultivation and High Fertilizfag
Saved Cotton from Heavy
Bains. '
Dillon county has emerged from one
V of the longest and severest wet spells
In its history as a farming section
With the exception of a few days of
fair weather it rained the proverbial
40 days and nights, last Saturday being
the 40th day. Under ordinary
k circumstances the cotton crop could
not have survived the prolonged 'wet
spell, but fortunately the farmers
were well up with their work, cotton
was in a fine state of cultivation and
there was more fertilizer for it to
draw strength from. About the first
of July last year there was a heavy
rainfall, but it did not last many
days. Cotton suffered from the washing
rains, but when the weather cleared
ideal cotton seasons followed and
Dillon county made the second largest
crop in its history. This year the
rainfall covered a much longer per1*4.

P.rtttnn has held un well. The CrOD
has been damaged, but It is remarkable
how little damage has been done.
The stalk is large, but appears to be
well fruited, and if the weather does
J not turn off too hot and dry Dillon
has a chance to make a good crop.
The editor of The Herald made a
short trip through the upper end of
. the Gallavon section last Saturday.
Accompanying him was E. C Stanton,
the well-known Insurance man. They
Inspected several fields of cotton and
were surprised to find that cotton was
standing up so well following the
heavy rains.
We stopped at Ernest Cottingham's
Gallavon place and went throng^ his
crop. Last year Mr. Cottingham made
130 bales on 100 acres. He has the
same cotton acreage this year and up
until the rains- came was expecting
150 bales. He says he will fall short
of this yield. His cotton is fine, howaver.
and if the seasons from now
en are favorable he will not fall short I
of 150 bales. He is planting the Cleveland
big boll which he says holds
up better under adverse seasons than
any other variety he knows of. ' Mr
Cottingham has about 100 acres of
very fine corn. Last year he sold over
1000 bushels and his yield this
year bids fair to exceed that of last
year. Mr. Cottingham says there is
as much money in corn at present
prices as there is in cotton.
There were other good crops in this
vicinity. Hugh Stanton has some fine
cotton and Walter Stanton has a
> good crop on the old Andrew Cottingham
place now owned by Mrs. A. J.
C. Cottingham If other parts of the
county did not suffer more than this
section Dillon stands a gool chance of
making around 40,000 bales this
f year, even if cotton has weathpred
one of the worst seasons in the history
of the oldest farmers.
o
The cotton-workers of Lancashire,
whose fathers suffered severely from
the shortage of cotton during the
m^ Civil War but who chose hunger rather
than support slavery, sent a wreath
to the unveiling of the new statute of
Lincoln which has been placed opposite
Wesminster Abby.

I Suggestions to Tobacco Fanners.
The South Carolina Tobacco Ass<
ciation makes several practical suj
gestions to the farmers in regard t
the 1920-tobacco crop. The Associs
tion requests the tobacco farmers t
help the markets by leaving the
money in the banks. If th^ farmei
will adopt this policy it wili hel
greatly in financing the crop. ]
advises the farmer not to rush toba<
co on the market, and to gather onl
ripe tobacco. The circular says:
Cure your tobacco bright and bul
down till they bleach.
Sort or pick your tobacco and d
not market your trash. Market not!
ing worth less than 5 cents pe
pound.
Only bright tobacco will sell gotfc
* Do not let your tobacco get high i
order. Your loss will be great. Mai
kets will remain open till Septembe
20th.
If prices fall below reason, with
hold your tobacco from the market.
