SOUTH CAROLINA ANNUAL
CHOP REVIEW, 1933 *
From the standpoint of crop values
in 1933 the South Carolina farm sit
uation presents a cheerful picture in
comparison with recent years. Based
on December 1 prices tho total esti
mated value of the principal field and
commercial truck crops amount to
$86,347,000, which is 67 percent or
$34,625,000 greater than the same
crops in 1932, and 22 percent or $16,
490,000 abovo the total for 1931. In
addition the farmers received about
$8,371,000 in benefits from cotton
plowups and option profits, which
added to the value of crops produced
makes a grand total of $94,718,000 as
tho valuu oi crops an dbenefits in
1933, which represents the greatest
crop wealth sinc?i thu year 1930.
Lint cotton and tobacco produced
have a combined value of $46,805,000 (
which is 75 percent or $20,063,000
above the $26,742,000 value of these
crops in 1932. Adding the cotton
reduction payments increases tho
amount to $28,434,000 moro cash
from these two ciops in 1933 than in
1932.
On the whole weather influences J
were generally favorablo during tho 1
year and per acre yields for all crops
combined were 22 percent abovo 1932
and 24 peicent greater than the
average for tho years 1931-30. In
this respect South Carolina is third
iti the nation, being exceeded only by
tioorgir. and Texas, while tho compos
ite per acre yield for the entire
country was 5 per cent below average.
Due almost entirely to these good
yields the total volume for all crops
was 1U percent above last year and
about equal to the averago production
fo; the years 1923-311.
Larid from which crops wer? gath
ered in 1933 is estimated at 4,151,000
acres or 10 percent less than the
4,591,000 acres harvested ip 1932 and
about percent below tho average
harvested acreage! during th? years
1923-32. This decline in area is due
almost entirely to reduction in cotton
acreage, for during the pasl ten year?)
cotton has been reduced 3d percent
while other ciops about held their
own.
Production of oats, wheat, and ryo
\was somewhat below recent years but
on the whole food and feed crops
were larger than la?st year and about
equal to the ten-year average.
Based on the December estimate of
742,000 bales, LINT COTTON has a
value of $35,987,000 which is 66 per
cent above the 1932 value and 19 per
cent above 1931. Tho 329,000 tonfi
of COTTON SEED is 3 percent great
er than last year and is valued at
$5,100,000 or 54 percent above the
1932 value.
Cotton planted /was estimated at
1,813,000 acres. Of this amount about
28.9 percent was plowed up or aband*
oned and cotton was picked from only
1,379,000 acres ? the smallest since
the year 1879. Indcidentally, this is
the first year since 1878 that the cot
ton acreage has been less than the
corn acreage, although corn almost
equalled cotton last year.
The TOBACCO crop of 85,850,000
pounds has a total value of $10,818,'
000 which is more than double both
I the production and value in 1932. The
increase in production and value was ,
due to a .48 percent larger acreage
and excellent per acre yield of 850
pounds.
Tho CORN crop of 22,808,000 bush
els is 28 percent above last year and
8 percent above the ten-year average
production. The 1,573,000 acres har
vested is somewhat below the two
previous years but about the average
acreage. The crop has a value of
$15,053,000 which is 96 percent great
er than the crop of 1932 and 49 per
cent above 1931.
Both acreage ant'#pe:* acre yield of
OATS was 5 percent below last year
and the production of 7,215,000 bush
els is 10 percent less than the crop of
1962 as well as the ten-year average.
The price per bushel on December 1,
however, was alirost doubU that of
last year and the total value of $5,
(>50,000 is 70 percent greater than the
value o{ 1932.
It was a good year for tree fruits
and nuts. Production of apples,
peaches, pears, and pecans combined
was about 85 percent above the rather
.short crops of 1932. Prices were about
the same but total value was up about
31 percent in accordance with the
greater volume.
Acreage and production of cowpeas,
soybeans, velvet beans and peanuts
was about 10 percent below last yeai;
but increased prices render the va^ue
43 percent abovo 1932. ,
