The Agricultural Outlook in South
Carolina for 1928.
(Note.—In issuing the first agn_
cultural outlook for South Carolina
that has ever been made by govern-
montal agencies, other than ' the
Federal forecast, which, of course/is
general for the.country, W. W. Long,
director of, the Extension Service : n
this State, makes the.following/^tatc
ment:
“The problem of estimating a bal
anced production to consumption is a
difii jult one to soIvh/but its -solu
tion must be attempted in order that
the farmer may have the best infor
mation as to the ejcbnomic outlook ex
isting at the tiprie of arranging his
cropping systeni for flic year. -In this
way he can hope to forecast thu prob
able piieeVne will'receive when his
crops mature. - - This price work is
new apd we realize that aiarge num
ber </f farmers will not follow it at
the outset. We believe, however, it
iy beneficial and educational work and
os basic,to any plan for stabilized agri
culture.”

The present indication is that the
1928 cotton crop will he sold on a
market that is jeelipg the influence
of a smaller carryover than was the
case with the 1927 ciop, and about
the same probable consumption ,as
(during thn preceding year.
.The South Carolina production is
but a small factor in determining dhe
market price which is fixed on a'B^is
of world supply and demand. \
There are at least two factors.oth?r
than acreage whiv h wilf determine
produiSffljm in this State the present
year. These are amount of fertilizer
used, and boll weevil damage. The
fertilizer applied to cotton largely de
termines the acre yield, other factors

ferent from that of the corn Bdt
farmer. In this State the production

• The present acreage of corn in
South^ Carolin a is more than suffi
cient to meet all State needs w’ere
th^ yield ptr acre increased to the
point of economic production. The
individual farmer’s problem is there
fore almost solely one of increased
acre yield at low cost per bushel.

Small Gra in.
The production of thu small grains
in South Carolina is mostly for home
consumption so that the individual
farmer is not as mu:h concerned in
market prices as determined by the
world market as is the mid-west far
mer. Our problem is one of uconomic
production or- increased acre* yield.
A sufficient quantity, of small
grain should he produced to meet all
needs for home - use. Within rea-
son the higher acre yield the Jess it
will 'cost to produce thu r quantity

consider substituting oats for com

Due to the fact that the farmers of
the State as a whole received greater
[ returns for the 191^7 cotton crop than
was anticipated at planting, the fall

TDIGHT now you are thinking about next
fall’s harvest. Suppose you get a bigger
yield than last. It will mean more profit—more
money in the bank. That’s what you are
after. Then why just “suppose’?
Why not make sure?
Here are two things that are as true as tru&i.
Good fertilizer increates the yield and improves
the quality of crops. -
Royster's is fertilizer at its best. How can you
know that? Because .Royster's fertilizer has been used
and tested by crops for 43 years. Because, if it hadn’t
made good in a big way, farmers wouldn’t be buying
and more year after year. There are some who
have used Royster’s for over 40 years; —7-“—
Is it wise to take a chance on your crop profits to save
a few cents an acre on your fertilizet .bill? Ask the
Royster dealer near you. ‘

prices of last fall the'present pros-

to be use 1 is not as great us was the
case late fall prcspect.
The following extract on the boll
weevil situation is quoTcd froTh the
rational Outlook: “The yield per
acre \^ill depend to a material extent
upon the abundan t of boll w’eevjls.
Weevils undoubtedly entered hiberna
tion in the fall if 1927 in large num
bers and w ; th greater vitality than
for several years: TKe“extenr~Tb
which they were destroyed by the very
low temperatures experienced for
several days in January over a major
portion of the cotton belt is still un-
jdeterminoid. Past experience, how-
able indicate that a considerable per-
eentage of hibernating weevils still
survive even w f her« the erly January
temperatures were as low as 10 de
grees. Later periods of low tempera
tures might reduce the number of
weevils to a point where they Avill
cease to be a serious danger in
but oven a relatively light emergence
would constitute a menace in case.
the growing season should favor boll
weevil propagation.”
Jn view of tht Tact that cotton
manufacturers of American types are
demanding much more cotton of 15-16
inch to 1 1-16 inch staple than of
other lengths fai mers should strive
for the production of those lengths of
J staple so. as to supply this demand.

Thing* You Should Know
The County Treasurer’s office will be open for the purpose of receiving
taxes from October 15th, 1927, to March 15th, 1928. A penalty of one per
cent, will be added to all unpaid taxes on January 1st, 1928; two per cent.
February 1st, 1928, and seven per cent. March 1, 1928. Tax books closing
and executions issuing after March 15-th, 1928. Taxes are ascertained by
the valuation multiplied by mills levied. Treasurer’s duplicate as made up
by Auditor lists real estate and does not itemize personal property, which
must be secured from Auditor. When inquiring as to amount of taxes due, '
you are required to give each and every tax district you own property in
as a separate tax receipt is issued for each district for real estate or per
sonal property../ Your tax receipt, giving number of acres covered by it.
