In recognition of the vital necessity of producing higher yields per acre and better quality of lint, .
the Cotton Manufacturer’s Association of South Carolina is renewing its offer of $2,000 to be given
in prizes to the successful South Carolina farmers in a 1930 Five-Acre Cotton Contest to be conducted
by the Clemson College Extension Service.
Increased production per acre and higher quality line is essential to the welfare of the South Caro
lina cotton growers. To meet the competition of Western cottons our growers' must realize the follow
ing facts:
* * • ’ , ' 4
We are in the fortunate position of having within the Stale a market through our cotton mills for
approximately 800.000 bales of 15-16 to 1 1-16 inch cotton. During the past four years, since the in
auguration of the Five-Acre Cotton Contest, our pr duction of this type of cotton has increased faster
than that of any other Southeastern State but we still are approximately'500,000 bales short of supply
ing the needs of our home manufacturers.
Results of the contests show that the production of a quality cotton is more profitable per acre than
is the production of 7-8 inch staple cotton, of which we grow almost 300,000 more bales than our
mills can consume.
A cordial invitation is extended every farmer in S outh Carolina to enter the 1930 contest and to com
pete for the valuable cash awards to be given by the Cotton Manufacturers. Full details of the re
quirements and rules will be gladly furnished by the local County Agent in each County Seat.
