For the year 1918 the yield was^35,411 bales; for \ 1919, 24,639 bales; for 1920, 21,147 bales; and for 1921, 4,154 bales. The yield for 1922 bids fair to be only about 6,000 bales. Little wonder it is that the people in Bamberg county are hard up. Fact is we are doing mighty well financially under such conditions.

C., Oct. 26th, 1922. The Bamberg Herald, Bamberg, S. C. Gentlemen: I have just read in this week's Herald where a Bamberg county farmer made seven bales of cotton on ten acres. That is a good yield under boll weevil conditions. I did not do any better, but I averaged that on my entire farm. I gathered 23 bales off of 36 acres planted. Each bale averaging a little more than 500 pounds. My fertilizer bill on my cotton was $120.00. If it had not been for the two weeks rain we had in August I would have made at least 30 bales. I connot attribute this yield to any one thing. I planted good select seed, on mostly new land and worked regular. I planted early as possible and plowed every week when possible, I used no poison or any thing of that kind, I found that my new land made much better than the old fields. The* new land stood the rains better. I used about 250 pounds fertilizer .per acre, 200 pounds acid and kainit mixed about two of acid to one of iroft and nft nounds of soda mixed with this per acre. The Lord certainly blessed me this year and I am thankful. I am not writing this for publication, but I know you are interested in the welfare of our county, and so am I. Cotton, I believe is our best money crop, we can make it in good seasons, but we must hustle and do not plant more than can be worked every week, with kindest regards, I am, Yours very truly, J. B.
