Data For 8tate Made Public By Statistician Black Small grain crops are in good con dition and very promising and the outlook for fruit in generally *atis factory although Home damage was done to the peach crop by the recent bold weather, according to a report of Frank 0. Black, agricultural statis ?tician for South C-arolina. Copious rains in January and mild, dry weather during February and March have 1hm.ii favorable for growth of wheat, oats, rye, pasture and home gardens, and as n result the conditions of those crops aver ages considerably better than on the same date last year. Likewise, (preparation of soil for planting is from ten to 20 days ahead of last year. In some sections the peach crop was seriously damaged in low places but for the stato as a whole it is thought sufficient fruit is still on the trees to furnish a fair crop. . V The acreage sown to wheat in the state has been steadily declining for the past two years, the present crop l>eing estimated at 123,000 acres or I> per cent less than the 120,000 acres sown in the autumn of 1923. On the other'"'-hand the oats acre age is estimated at 110,000 or an in crease of 8 per cent, over the 838,000 sown in the fall of 1023. However, only about 360,000 of the sown acre age was harvested, owing to damage to the crop by severe, mid during the winter of 1923-21. The rye acreage has remained about stationary for several years and the setimated acreage for this year is given as 7.-000, the same as ?last year. The Irish potato aereage shows a de -lease of 13 per 'cent _from last year, which is due to curtailment of acreage in the commercial area, for about the usual acreage hius been planted for home consumption. The supply for farm labor is still below the demand, the supply com pared with normal is given by the crop correspondents as 81 and the demand ;is 81 per cent. Average wages paid hired farm labor is given as follows: By the ryonth with board, $20; without board, $26; by the day with boa I'd, $1.07; without board, $1.40.

At All Druggists' E-lH Watch K<?r Them We notice in an ^xchange that a ?smooth gang uf sharpers are now working a new game on rural resi dents, having operated in various sec tions of the state, and feeling thai they may turn up in this community, we want to give citizens of Lancaster and county a tip. They are~suppos ed to be selling superior grade of gaixlen and flower seed, and are very liberal with their samples. In fact, it is only after giving a generous sup ply of samples that they take an order, with a. down payment, a dol lar or whatever they can get, the balance t-o be paid when the seed is delivered. But the catch comes in the fact that the order is never de livered. They do not ask for large sums in advance, but. when they have "worked" an entire community, their pockets are pretty well lined. All of us have too many places to put a dollar these days to fall for this kind of. crookedness, so be on your guard. -Lancaster News.
