There is much uncertainty among
the farmers of Dillon county as to
how much cotton and tobacco they
will be able to cultivate this year.
The time for pitching a crop is prettj
well advanced, but there has been
no improvement in financial conditions
and the majority of the farmers
are, to use the language of the
street, "up in the air."
It is conservatively estimated that
it will take a million dollars to make
50 per cent, of a crop in the county.
Half of this amount goes into fertilizers
and can be carr.ed over till
fall, but the other half must be paid
cut in hard cash before next September.
Now the question is, where is
this half million coming from?

for the banks to advance money for
farming operations during the spring
and summer reooths, but this year
the banks are burdened with loans
on last year's cotton, and it is impossible
for them to finance two cotton
crops. The farmers, therefore,
cannot look to the ba?ks for financial
assistance.
There was'carried through the year
1920 at least, 10,000 bales of cotton
from the 1919 crop. The final government
report, issued a few days ago,
shows that we produced in the county
last year 35,000 bales, which added
to the 10,000 carry-over from the
1919 crop, gave us a total of 45,uT>0
bales- The banks carried loans on the
major portion of these 10,000 bales
through 19 20.
it is t si i iiletu u uj men ? iiuat' uua
iness is to keep in close touch witt
the cotton situation in the countj
that only 10.000 bales had been mar
keted up to March 1st, thus leaving
on hand something like 35,00(
bales. A great deal of this carry-ovei
cotton from the 19 20 crop is beinf
financed by the county banks.
Banks, like individuals, have a bor
rowing limit, and they cannot borrov
new money without reducing thei:
"own indebtedness. The only wa;
-?they can reduce their indebtednesi
on A
gt f those who owe them to sel
cotton.
Jg xhe banks, however, do not wan1
j force their customers to sell theii
cotton at present prices, but what
else are they to do if they furnisli
money to make another crop?
Reduced to its last analysis, the
situation is in the hands of the farmer.
No person wants to see the fainter
sell cotton at 10 cents for which
he should have received, by all the
rules of justice, at least 25 cents. But
instead of selling his entire crop, why
not sell one-fourth of jt and apply
the proceeds on his indebtedness at
the bank? A few weeks later as the
money is needed to carry on farm
operations sell another fourth, if necessary,
and keep the other half until
the price improves.
This appears to be the only way
out of the difficulty. There is plenty
of money available in the next 60 or
90 days through the Farm Loan
Bank and other money lending agencies,
but money from these sources
will come too late to be of material
help in making another crop.
If every man who owes the bank
ana is nuiuuig eouuii wuuiu ?iucji?i
the plan as outlined above it would
relieve the situation so far as Dillon
county is concerned, and providg ample
means for carrying on farm operations
until the next crop is ready
for the marketADDKKSS
