Corn Crop is Said Disastrously Short Columbia, Sept. 5.?'With a corn shortage staring South Carolina in the face this year, a conference of officials of the extensive service of Clemson college hcie yesterday de- ? veloped a plan whereby serious curtailment of f*cds for livestock in this i state > an be eleminated. I It was said thai the shortage this ( year was due to the fact that to be- , gin with the farmers planted less , acreage in corn than last year and ( that the usually bad weather con- j ditions had hampered the cultivation | of the crop. The folowing statement was given , out for publication: "On account of weather conditions , in the spring and summer farmers in this state had great difficulty in , getting the cotton crop planted and consequently the corn crop suffered. The acreage was somewhat reduced and greatly neglected as to cultivation. There is therefore a corn shortage in prospect in this state next spring. "While the prospects for a corn crop in the West seem to be fairly good, the price of hogs and beef cattle is so nigh as probably to cause much of the crop to be used by MidWestern live stock interest in feeding more live stock. "It appears* that the Southern farmer who is short of feed with which to make the next crop will not occupy an enviable position. Everything possible ahoula be done to correct the threat of feed shortage an4 it is not vet too late to do something in this direction by seeding plenty of fall planted small grain crops that will early aext spring yield hay and grain for feeding live stock. "|rteeting8 are being arranged over the state by interested people, coun' ty agents, and district agents to discuss this problem as it affects each locality and work out the best plan for various conditions. "General recommendations include a good acreage in oats for grain; bald and beardless barley for gain a? an early substitute for corn, oats, and vetch for early hay. For cover crops any of the small grains with vetch or Austrian field peas or rye alone are recommended. "There may be a shortage of seed for pfanting in some communities and . extension specialists in agronomy are now trying to locate sources of planting seed for the various crops recom-; mended. "One thing that needs special emphasis and which is usually neglected by the majority of farmers is to seed the fall planted crops early enough. Oats should be planted as early as possible in September and October." Prise For Best Stalks of Cotton A total af $10,000 in prizes is offered on single stalks of cotton to be exhibited at the various fairs this fall. These prizes are offered by Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation and the Southern Soil Improvement Committee. The exhibits for South Carolina will be made at the Southeastern Fair to be held in Atlanta,* Ga. The entries close September 25th, and for the best stalks of cotton prizes of $1,000 cash will be given, and in addition to these prizes there will be other prizes ranging from $500 down to $5. Any person In Kershaw county having ingle stacks of cotton who wish to have them exhibited should see the oounty agent for further information. Service# Sunday < ! Rev. A. D.
