made through Dr. C, C. "Brown,

PROGRESS IN AGRICULTURE
Year's Statistics for South Carolina
Show Increase in Values?Corn
Increases 4,566,000 Bushels.
Columbia.?"This has been a wonderful
year of progress from an agricultural
standpoint in South Carolina,"
said Commissioner Watson recently,
as he announced statistics showing
that rapid strides have been made
in production. According to figures
compiled for this year by the state
department of agriculture the increase
in production has been phenomenal.
Steady gains have been made in agriculture
and all products are bring-1
ing top prices.
"The figures that have been compiled
were taken from the government
reports and from statements secured
from farmers in all sections of the
state," said the commissioner. I
Commissioner Watson said that the
estimates that he has prepared are
conservative and show conclusively
that South Carolina is rapidly forging
to the front as an agricultural statee.
Seven crops are treated. While there
has been a great truck crop in South
Carolina, no figures have as yet been
prepared.
According to the best figures obtainable
by the department the value of
the seven principal crops of South I
Carolina this year will be $160,000,000,
In 1910 the value of the cron? waB
about $51,000,000 and about $141,000,000
according to the census in 1910.
Statistics are given by the commis-1
sioner for cotton, corn, tobacco,
wheat, oats, hay and Irish potatoes.
The value of these crops for 1913 was
an increase of $31,299,076 over 1912.
This practically means $31,000,000
new dollars in circulation in South
Carolina in the estimate of the department,
because this amount ha3
been saved from the markets of the I
West
The increase in the value of the
? inio tm.
com cruy over iuid J ccai AO ftvp
484,880. The Increase in the value of
the tobacco crop is $1,930,896. The
increase in the value of wheat is
$101,400. The increase in the value
of the oat crop is $995,000. The increase
ip the value of .the hay .crop,
was $36,000. The increase in the
value of the potato crop was $4,400.
The estimate by the department is
about 1,350,000 running bales. This
crop it is estimated will go to the
market for $98,526,000 or an increase
of over $17,000,000 over last year. The
1,250,000 cotton crop in 1910 was sold
for $98,630,000. In 1912 the crop sold
for $80,880,000. The biggest crop in
the history of the state was in 1911
when 1,729,000 bales were produced.
This crop was sold for only about $90,.000,000.
The department estimates that
there will be 1,350,000 bales produced
as compared with 1,250,000 bales in
|1912; 38,844,000 bushels of corn or an
ilncrease of 4,566,000; 972,000 bushels
of wheat or an increase of 245,000
bushels; 8,225,000 bushels of oats or
an increase of 1,258,000; 225,000 tons
of hay or an increase of 2,000 tons; I
33,299,567 pounds of tobacco or an
increase of 8,962,000 pounds; 892,000
bushels of Irish potatoes or an increase
of 93,000 bushels.
ftaise Much Corn.
Charleston. ? Charleston county
planters Having raised this year more
corn than they can possibly use, Agricultural
Manager W. McLeod Frampton
of the Chamber of Commerce has
several car loads on hand which he is
trying to market for the producers.
This is the first time in the history
of the county, he says, that the planters
have produced more corn than they
can use themselves.
Make December 23, "Pay Day."
Columbia.?A. W. Jones, comptroller
general, announced recently that he
would pay the salaries of the state
officials and employes for the month of
