The country's enormous corn crop has "run unharmed the gauntlet of dangers that faced it during the doubtful days and nights of September, and lays into the lap of mellow October. 43,000,000 bushels more of ripened ears ^than it could Dromise at the beginning of that month," the department of agriculture says iji issuing the October crop report forecasting a yield of 2.900,511.000. Practically without frost damage, assuring high feeding value. Husking and cribbing has begun. Blight, scab and black rust, together with minor ills, brought the good early prospects for spring wheat in north central producing section down until the reckoning now shows almost . t AAA AAA I 1 1-1 1 1 M o;vw,uw uusneis less tnan rorecast a month ago, the total crop being placed at 204,170,000 bushels. Cotton Fife in Rock Hill. Sunday night the central compartment of the John T. Roodey - warehouse, just north of the Southern railway station in Rock Hill, was discovered on fire and but for the timely arrival of the fire department, it was believed that the entire btiilding and its contents would have been destroyed. The central compartment of the warehouse is rented by Mr. Roddey as a State wareroom, with John A. Black as custodian. Mr. Black stated that there were between 600 and 700 bales of cotton in the building, some of it belonging to the 4 Victoria cotton mill and some to the farmers of Rock Hill section. The loss was estimated at I about $100,000, which was fully covered by insurance. Has Boll Weevil Expert. The State Crop Pest Commission has decided to station a boll weevil specialist in Columbia for the remainder of the season, and has sent Mr. J. A. Berly to Columbia for the purpose. He will have headquarters at the Livestock Sanitary Office of Clemson College, Union National Bank Building, and will be prepared to issue information with promptness and to grant necessary permits to all who need - them without loss of time. The rapid advance of the boll weevil and the great activity in the shipment of cotton, seed and hulls makes this step advisable because of the necessity for frequent, changes in the boll weevil line. Shippers and the public generally will find Mr. Berly's services easily and quickly available. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. McMurray, of Rock Hill, and Joe H. McMurray, of Charlotte, were guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. J. H? McMurray in this city.
