Improve*! fanning methods are ro
suiting in iiKrreased yields of corn, the
second iniiHMtont crop of Kfifffoaw;
County, S. C\, according to a soil sur
vey made by (ho U, ?S. llureau of ^dls
In cooperation with the State ^igricuj
tural college. A rojxvrt covering the sur
vey has Just been puldlshd In bulletin
form and i)oluts out the characteristics
of the numerous types of soil found In
the county* The average yield of ld.ft
bushels of corn an acre in 1910 Is less
tb(in the inherent fertility of the land
would seem to warrant, says the re
I<ow production is due to Inad
equate prepara tloai, cultivation, and
fertilisation, and to the -poor quality
of the seed planted. The best soils
under,good cultivation yield 1 to 1 1-2
bales of cotton, the average of which
is almost equal to that of all other
eroi? combined.
in addition to discussing the various
types of soils, the bulletin contain*
much helpful information. For exam
ple, data in regard to. temperature and
frost are included. A study of this
part of the bulletin would indicate
safe dates for planting various crops
and be helpful in deciding upon others
and which could b<> matured in the
growing season of the county. A col
'ored map shows the location of each
soil type auid when studied in connec
tion with the discussion of the differ
ent kinds of .soil, is especially helpful,
to those who may be considering the
purchase of a farm in a different lo
cation or to those who are moving for
other reasons from one section of the
county to another.
