COTTON CROP
VERY LOW
According to Report of B. B.
Hare of Crop Reporting
Service
FORTY-SIX PER CENT
LESS FERTILIZERS
Poor Stands and Low Vitality
Seem Responsible For
This Condition.
According to report of B. B. Hare,
Agricultural Statistical^ in charge of
the crop reportin.tr service in South
Carolina for the Bureau of Crop Estimates
of the United States Department
of Agriculture, the conditions
of cotton in the State on May 25 was
58 per cent of normal, against (58
per cent on the corresponding date
last year, the ten-year average being
74 per cent.
Commenting upon the report Mr.
Hare says:
"Spring opened up unusually early t
and weather conditions in March were
exceedingly favorable for farm work,
and the preparation for planting by
April 1 was ten days or two weeks
earlier than usual. Some cotton was
planted in the latter part of March
and came to fairly good stands but
frosts on April 13 and li> killed such
a large percentage of it, as well as
that planted in early April, that replanting
was necessary in most cases.
During the latter part of April and
most of May nights were cool and
germination poor. The plant has been
of low vitality the entire season and
much of the early plantings died,
leaving very unsatisfactory stands.
However, stands from late plantings
are generally good.
Much farm work was accomplished
during the last week of the reporting
period and a large percentage of the
crop in the western, central, eastern
and southern counties has been chopped
and plowed. During the last few
days temperature has been higher and
the plant has taken on new life in cultivated
fields. In sections, however,
there was too much rain in May and
many fields became very foul with
grass and weeds. The boll weevil
* has already made its appearance in
the western, central and southern
counties.
The quantity of fertilizers used appears
to be about 30 per cent less
than the five-year average, or about
46 per cent less than last year. Information
obtained from fertilizer
dealers indicates about 50 per cent of
the fertilizers used will show an an*

trate of soda; and 20 per sent acid )
phosphate, the remainder being: of
various analyses. I^is estimated that
an average of 2w*pounds per acre j
will be used this year, against an av-'
erage of 490 pounds in li)20. The
estimated value of the fertilizers used
this year is placed at $4.00 per acre,
while last year it was $13.02 per acre.
The present low condition is due
largely to poor stands and low vi- j
tality. Ordinarily much of the acre-,)
age would have been planted over
but under prevailing boll weevil conditions
farmers say they would rather
have a poor stand of early cotton ',
than take chances with a good stand of
late cotton."

in Condition of Pond. Older
Residents Remember jt
The older class of residents in Con-j'
,vay remember well when there was!
i branch running* up to what is now j j
he back door of the Norton Drugn
Store (now Piatt's Pharmacy.) Per-1
laps the word pond would more aptly j
iescribe it because it had no very(J
veil defined outlet into a larger jl
stream, and the water had to soak !,
hrough the sands of two or three
idges to get to the river swamps.;'
Water stood in its deepest place,;1
.vhich was anout ine duck wan oi ine ;:
lew brick building that is now being
irected by A. C. Thompson on Laurel
Street. There were holes full of <
water in this deepest part nearly the
whole year and where cattle might
Irink if they wandered round that
nvay.
O.i the cd^es grew stumpy black- ,
i'lims and some taller trees before
they were cut down and riinlly either ,
rotted away or were used for firewood.
In the water holes lived the
frogs. These made it lively in rainy
jmes and there were plenty of them
bo carry all of the parts in their
nusic within a short stone's throw of
where the Conway Chamber of Com- (
merce band now enlivens the evenings (
with their practice stunts.
In the course of time a ditch was :
;ut from the back doors of the woodin
shops that lined the westward
side of Main street This ditch hesame
the dumping ground for bales i
jf waste paper and other refuse that
lame forth from the rear doors of the
shops. On its banks sprung up the

low takes the water from the place,
rhis main drain constructed of terra
:otta piping, was fairly efficient, except
when- it became filled with
sand and trash. To prevent this filing
in with sand, a box about five
feet square has been constructed on I
Laurel Street, near the sidewalk. This
jok is made of brick and concrete and .
extends into the earth about two feet |
l>elow the main sewer line, and the
sewer line runs through it. This
space in the bottom acts as a trap for
the sand and trash that may accumulate
along the pipe line on its way
from the center of the block, underground
out to the sewer line in the
street. The town has purchased
;onie improved appliances for opening
sewers and enclosed drains when
they have filled with sand and gravel
so that the water cannot escape. This
equipment consists of a sectional
Irag instrument which can be in
sorted into the pipe with ease as when
being pushed it folds back against the
handle, and when pulled in the oppo-1
;ite direction turns into a stout hoe j
shaped drag. They can i inke the
handle o?: this as long as tiiey will j
need it by the addition of sections to (
it. They also have a patented instrument
for cutting the roots out of a "
sewer line.
