South Carolina Annu al Crop Review, 1935 Columbia, Jan. 9.—The year 1935 was a good one for South Carolina agriculture. The main features of the crop year as reviewed by Frank O. Black, agricultural statistician .or the United States Department f Agriculture, show volume of pro duction up 20 per cent from 1934 and 16 per cent above average, per acre yields 15 per cent over 1934 xnd 29 per cent above average, ;rop values up 2.6 per cent and more than double the low values of 1932, a record of oats, the highest per acre yield of tobacco, and alto- jether the best crop year since 1930. Crop Values for the year lust closed, while only 2.6 per cent above ast year, represent the highest joint in value reached since 1930 md is more than double the low joint of crop values in 1932. Principal field and commercial .ruck crops totaled $108,623,000 in .935; $105,858,000 in 1934; $51,822,- ,00 in 1932; and $118,993,000 in 19$0. .These estimates are the value of ,otal production, whether sold dr sed otherwise, do not include aenefit payments and should not je confused with farm income es- imates which will be published ater. The cash crops of lint cotton and obacco are valued at $58,774,000, jvhich compares with $54,356,000 in 1934; $26,742,000 in 1932; and $61,- 382,000 in 1930. Yield per acre of all crops com bined was 15 per cent above last year and 29.1 per cent above the average for the years 1921-1930. In this respect South Carolina is sec ond in the nation, being exceeded only by Georgia with 29.6 per cent, whereas in the country as a whole yield per acre was only 1.7 per cent above the ten-year average. The volume of crops harvested during 1935 was about 20 per cent above the previous year and ap proximately 16 per cent above aver age production for the years 1928- 32. Of the more important crops tobacco shows an increase of 58 per cent in production over 1934; oats, 48 per cent; wheat 28 per cent; com, 23 per cent; sweet potatoes, 17 per cent; cotton, 9 per cent; and tame hay 4 per cent. Most minor crops also showed substantial increases, with the ex ception of wild hay, pears, and pe cans, which were below the 1934 production. The harvested area x of the prin cipal field and commercial truck crops is estimated at 4,344,000 acres. This is an increase of 3.5 per cent over the area harvested during 1934 out is aporoximately 4 per cent less than the average amount har vested during the period 1928-32. The cotton crop is estimated at 745,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight which is valued at $41,906,- 000 and compares with a crop 681,- 000 bales and a value of $42,070,000 in 1934. The average price per pound was 11.2 cents in 1935 and 12.4 cents in 1934.

The 89,725,000 pounds produced is the second larg est crop and the value of $16,868,000 is the foutth largest amount re ceived for any previous crop. Pro duction was exceeded only by the crop of 98,600,000 pounds in 1930, and value only by the crops of 1918, 1919, and 1923. In 1934 the State made 790 pounds per acre and a total crop of 55,880,000 pounds with a value of $12,286,000. Averages for the years 1923-1932 were 634 pounds yield, 75,850,000 pounds produced, and $9,424,000 value. Since 1916 the lowest return was the $4,904,000 from the crop of 1932 and the high est $19,979,000 from the crop of 1918. Acreage planted to corn has steadily increased during the past few years and the estimate of 1,- 765,000 acres in 1935 is the largest acreage since 1923 when 1,818,000 acres were grown. The record high acreage was the 1,935,000 acres of 1922, and the lowest since 1891, was the 1,392,000 of 1929. Com production in 1935 is esti mated at 25,592,000 bushels which compares with 20,760,000 bushels for 1934 and the average production of 20,151,000 bushels for the years 1928-1933.

Wheat acreage has increased during the past few years and the 1935 production of 980,000 bushels is well above both 1934 and the average production. Production of tame hay at 210,000 tons is 4 per cent above the previous year and 17 per cent above produc tion in the years 1928-1932. The crops of apples and peaches were approximately 12 per cent larger than in 1934 but the pear crop was 15 per cent smaller. The pecan crop at 875,000 pounds is 10 per cent below 1934 and the value at $138,000 is 15 per cent less. -X- Chevrolet 1935 Total Sales 3rd Largest in History; 4th Quarter Total Sets New Record Detroit, Jan. 8—Chevrolet Motor Company today announced that its total United States sales of cars and trucks in 1935 was 865,842 making the third largest year in the history of the company, ex ceeded Only by the boom years of 1928 and 1929.

C. variety of good hog production practices including the use of sup plementary protein, grazing crops, on litters, and “hogging down corn.” His early record as hog raiser was made on his mother’s farm, 1 though he has recently purchased a farm adjoining. The entire farm, excepting a small tobacco and cot ton acreage, is planted to corn, grain, grazing crops, and improved pastures. Mims learned long ago that livestock furnishes a good supplementary income to regular cash crops. Scales records kept in the county agent’s office show that 333 hogs weighing 63,310 pounds have been sold from the farms operated by him during the past six years. The sale of these finished hogs, which averaged 190 pounds each, netted $5,291.81, or an average of $861.46 per year.

Hogs To The Front In Williamsburg Co. Kingstree, Jan. 11.—Hog feeding work has gained considerably ove' depression years and Williamsburg farmers are again gameflng nice profits frorti hogs as Ah addition? income, says County Agent R. A Jackson, whose records show that 1,827 hogs weighing 318,339 pounds of an average weight of 170 pounds w<Ye sold from the county from December 1, 193*4, to November 30 1935. At an average price of $8.9f per hundred pounds, the sale r through the agent’s office netted 176 growers $28,504.9*4. Interesting as ari example of de velopment in hog farming is the story of the rise of Laverne Mim~ Gfeelyville, from a school boy tr one of Williamsburg county’s best hog growers. Young Mims startc- feeding hogs for market soon after this succcessful enterprise wa r started in the county in 1927. Since that time he has participated in a The United States Civil Service Commission has announced open competitive examinations for a number of horticultural specialist oositions in the Bureau of Plant In dustry, Department of Agriculture.

With the current year’s produc tion totaling close to a quarter of a million sets, the Ford Motor Com pany announces numerous im- Tj-ovements to the 1936 Ford radio, which is good news for those who expect to put in a car radio as a New Year present to the family. From the standpoint of appear- mce, the most important change is the adoption of an invisible speaker, mounted above the wind shield. The sloping, rounded roof lines remain unbroken and listen ers in the car have the benefit cf ear-level reception. The set continues to be of six tubes, but with a number of chassis improvements. The chassis case has been shortened and made more compact, fitting underneath the in strument panel and above the steering column. Sensitivity of the Ford radio has been increased and its internal cir cuit filtering has been improved to keep out external interference, such as that from high tension wires and street cars. For the city driver, especially, reception now Is excellent. The speaker is of a new design mounted flush on the header bar above the windshield. When in stalled it is completely out of sight, covered by the car trim. The c peaker cone has been re-dfe*- signed to insure improved recep tion throughout the scale, includ ing high notes and bass noj^s. In stead of having a,three-point tone control, a constantly variable control is now used It is expect volume of Foi terially increa 'that every d motorists are car radios.
