Agricultural . 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.

Meeting up with a stranger un a

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.
