Small Acreage In This State
Columbia, July 8.—South Carolina’s
smallest cotton acreage — 1,110,000 j
acres — was in ’cultivation July 1,|
Frank O. Black, federal-state agricul
tural statistician, said today. The cur
rent acreage was 3 per cent less than
last year’s 1,148,000 acres and 8 per
cent below the last five years' aver
age, he added.
Weather and soil conditions appar
ently influenced the state’s acreage
changes as reports indicated a 9 per
cent decrease in the northern half of
the state, and an increase of 3 per
cent in the southern half, Black said.
With average acreage abandon
ment, an estimated 1,102,000 acres
will be picked this fall. The first 1944
production forecast will be released
August 8.
