Crop Conditions and Offers Advice
to Farmers.
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.

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. In thIe few sections of
tne Ieit. w.tere planting has beent done,
germlination is very unsatisfactory
nainly hecauset of the low Ivemn:eta
Iturv that hai prevailed and fhe first
hlntuing went to naught in large areas.
"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.
"There has never been a time
since Cotton has bheen planted that
such a bear raid has been made up
)Em spots Cotton, and they have not
sutccec'Jed in driving it (own. I want
to say to spots holiiers that If the
iventhe-- keeps good for a week or so
they will drive October and lDecember

not affect the spots If the holdev will
