For More Small Grain.
Clemson College, Nov. .22?"A situation
has developed this (all in the
* failure of fanners to seed adequate
Q acreage of fall grain that will affect
' seriously our 1920 farming program
and the economic situation in the
|> state next year,'' says Director W. W.
Long of the Extension Service. Reports
from County Agents and other
agricultural workers show that up to
the present time the acreage in wheat
and oats is smaller than it has been
for the past several years. This has
been due partly to "labor shortage
V*. and partly to the rather long period
of dry weather which kept the farmers
busy gathering cotton and which
made most lands too dry and hard for*
seeding grain. With a large part of
the cotton crop gathered and with
rains to put\the land in condition,
this situation should be improved by
a liberal seeding of these important
grain crops.
Last spring the Extension Service
"" a/1 fapmoro onH hiiBinaRR men tO
work for a larger acreage and better
cultivation of corn to overcome a
threatened shortage. The hearty response
and the good seasons have resulted
in the biggest corn crop evet
, produced in South Carolina. Bankers,
merchants, and others as well as farnners
are appealed to now to stimulate
at once a larger seeding of oats,
wheat, and rye. There is yet time for
this but none to spare, and what is
done should be done at once.

Market for Sweet Potatoes.
Columbia, Nov. 23?Most of the
sweet potatoes grown this season in
South Carolina, in excess of home
needs, are going to be eaten in the
north.
At a meeting of the South Carolina
Sweet Potato Association in the
rooms of the South Carolina Development
Board, a contract was closed
whereby the entire crop of the association
will be handled by a single
selling agency which has already
made its outlets in the northern marTVio
rsnniremAntR of this Bell
ing agency are considerably in excess
ol the probable' supply and A. G.
Smith of Columbia, secretary of the se
association, would be glad to hear
from more growers who have sweets "
to sell.
By another year it is expected that
the South Carolina sweet potato,
bearing the state brand, will dominate
the northern markets.
