Commi sioner Uarris has been malk. ng a personal survey ofvthe crop con litions in South Carolina and offers tome advice to the farmers. "Usually ay the middle of April," says Mr. Ilar '18, "we find planting of cotton well inder way, and indeed quite a lot of !otton abo ground. This year, ow ng to the unusnal weather, very lit le cotton has been planted here or Lnywhere in the cotton belt. Not over O per cent of the average, crop has een planted and a great deal of the and is to be :repared for the pl)anting. "Therefore, In order to make a nor nal crop, every day from now hence orth must be Idgal cotton weather. "The sainning trade Is In the most ilourishing condition in its history, and It is being more generally recog nlized that with the large udemandlits for goods al present high levels the price of Southern cotton is relative ly cheap. According to the law of supply and demand, cotton should be sell-tig for 60 cents, the price that tho Anierican Co, ton Associa t ion recommiended for thev remiainder of thev 119 crop. "Affairs are entirely in ithe hands of farners and spots holders. If th ey positively refui se to takIe presntIl Pil es it wilI immediately advance to tMe and above, as tie spinlners will cnll the speculators for delivevry as they are naking unheard of profits now. So. I say again, sit steady in the hoal and freez to your spots and hey will pay your price. "Ifr you hiave no uise for you r m11111 y if you will hold your cotton until iJuly 19121. it will pay you a big interest for after careftil review of the first crop and weatiIr reports of the season. sati lby staIte and afte o(mparison vith private reiorts from every sttet t itn the l:lt. w have arrived at the concltusionl that this is likely to bo an other season of short yield and that fromt the beginning it Is doomed to Ie a short crop.

"Ii miany places in the belt it las heenl planted now the third time be fore g'ttinr: a stand. Too miucht rain find low teiperatures always work injury to the crops, especially cotton.
