Are Aakinf for Continuanee of
Good Cotton Weather
* In July.
Cotton prospects in Kershaw Cban-
ty this season are most encouraging
and some of the leading growers are
predicting a crop of 15,000 balea-r-
provided—that the ideal weather con
ditions which have been in evidence
sq far continue^. A prolonged wet
spell in July would result in a poor
harvest, they assert.
History of cotton growing In Ker
shaw county shows some Interesting
facts. For many years-ttre^'cmnity'
raised an average crop of about 18,000
bales. In 1911 a peak figure was at
tained when 36,193 bales were re
corded. From 1911 to 1920 the crop
bales and
in 1920 a record was established with
a figure of 42,215 bales. Following
that bumper year there was a slump
in production until 1925 and 1926
when yields of 28,969 and 33,692 were
recorded. Then came another slump
and the largest crop raised since 1927
was 22,791 bales in 1931.
Following 19^1 Kershaw county has
been more or less at a low ebb in cot
ton raising, the average over a 12
year period being 13,642 baled*. The
low ebb in the history of the county
came in 1941 when but 5,747 bales
were listed. In the past three years
the average has been 7,700 bales, a
new low for a three year period.
Growers however admit that the
1944 prospects are most encouraging.
The weevll-weather combination has
cut the baleage of the county con
siderably in recent sears. The gov
ernment control of cotton acreage had
considerable to do with the situation
also has the county had a poor base
acreage. This year, a farmer can
plant all the cotton he desires to—
but here again the cotton grower
faces a handicap, this time the matter
of labor shortage, which has cut dowu
the amount planted. Some farms are
not planting any- cotton as they have
no tenants. W. C. McCarley, county
agrtcultural agent, estimates the coun
ty acerage to he,25,000 acres. The
allotment un<tor govemment control
was about 32,000 acres.

However, with reduced acreage, 1f
conditions continue favorable, the
county will make its best crop since
1940. The farmers have helped to
bring about this improvement by buy
ing the best type of seed available
and by using a much higher grade of
fertilizer. They are also improving
their lands by using crotalaria, velvet
beans, lespedeza and other cover
crops. Farmera-vlftw the swing of the-
pendelum, which went to one extreme
three years ago, to the back awing
which indicates a big crop this sum

In the face of the serious condition
growing out of the closing of the avia
tlon post here on August 4 and the
fact that the tourist program is dead
for the duration, the merchants and
business men of Camden will be en
tirely dependent upon the farmer.
Camden business men have accepted
the challenge And stand ready to help
in any way possible, not only for bet
ter crops, for better livestock and bet
ter markets for products.
Farmers have been dependent upon
subsidies, which are now a thing of
the' past. He has bad to sell his saw
timber and pulpwoed to meet ezpem
ses. The timber will eventually give
out and as the county has few indus
tries to fall back upon, the future
depends solely upon the success of the
farmer. It is pointed out that if the
county can raise 25.060 bales of cot
ton a year as was done several years
ago and continue with the live stock
and dairy program, It will mean mil
lions of dollars for the banks and
merchants and will offset In a mcas-
ure, the closing pf the airport and
the loBs of the tourist business.
Cotton has made fine strides and
much comment has been heard oj the
crops in evidence at the Shiver farms
at IMsgah Cross Roads which Is at
the. intersection of Kershaw, Sumter
and Lee counties. The Shiver niea
who are respohsible for these fina
crops are W. H.. C. M.. Sr., John L.,

In addition to this large cotton acre
age the Shiver men have about 200
acres of peanuts which show much
promise. They have found the grow
ing of peanuts more profitable than
cotton and last year some of them got
as much as a ton of peanuts and a
ton of hay from an acre. It costs
much less to raise peanuts and the
land of the Pisgah section is unusually
fine for the crop.
On some of the best Shiver land
last season as much as 21.000 pounds
of seed cotton were gathered from an
acre, a most unusually fine yield. On
one field, Marlon Shiver ginned 14
bales from ten acres.
