SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS Saluda, Seift. 15.?The government report issued today toy B. B. Hare, South Carolina field agent of the United States department of agriculture,* shows that there was a decline \ of 4 per cent in condition of both cotton and corn from; July 25, to August 25. Cotton declined from 71 to 67 per cent in South Carolina and corn from to 76 ner cent. The deterioration v in condition of both is attributed aiwholly to excessive rains during : the latter part of July' and the first two weeks of August *The boll weevil, ; of course, is doing considerable dam:T;; age to cotton in the extreme southern , It appears that the^ western and . central counties suffered more severe- < ly from the excessive rains than did h the eastern and northwestern counties, < the condition of both cotton and corn '< being; much better in the Pee Dee and < Piedmont counties than in other sec- ; tions of the State. 1 llfi forecast of production of cot- : ton in South Carolina will approxi- 1 mate 1,160,000 bales. , Of course, the ; final out-turn will be larger or smaller than this amount as weather condi- : tions hereafter are better or worse ! than average conditions. The aban- ; dbned acreage of cotton since June 25, j 4 according to-,reports made by corre- j spondents and from, personal observation of the field agent, will not exceed 2 per cent. The corn crop for the State will be surlier than usual, the condition in some localities being very good while | \ in others it is very, .very poor. The abandoned acreage in the State wilt mM b^ at least 10 per cent, the most of! which Is confined to late plantings. Tlje estimated production for the entire United States is 2,858,000,000 Sp; bushels, which is approximately 275,^ 000,000 bushels more than the estimated production in 1918. Cowpeas and peavine hay are the j|l|:frest for years, but the acreage is much smaller than usual, the.seed at pljahting time bejing' very scarce and up usually high priced.
