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. Estimates show

Sepoy Preparedness.
j In the Madras presidency in the
first half of the last century recruit
boys?sons of old soldiers?were kept
with each Sepoy regiment, clothed,
drilled and fed and enlisted as soldiers
when they attained the age of sixteen.
The systemj had something to recommend
it, as the state got a trained |
youth as a soldier instead of a country
bumpkin who had all his training to
learn.
