UNITED STATES
Excellent weather for corn, cot
ton, potatoes, beans, rice, sugar
beets, most fruits and various other
crops has resulted in a very marked
improvement in crop prospects in
the United States, and gives as
surance of an adequate supply of
food, feed, forage and fiber crops
this season. Potatoes, cotton and
rice are expected to show the high
est yields per acre on record and
most other crops are expected to
yield much better than in recent
drought years. Instead of crop
yields about 4 per cent above the
usual average, as expected a month
ago, present conditions justify ex
pectation of crop yields nearly 11
per cent above average, providing

Types Of Farming
In New Bulletin
Clemson, Aug. 14.—“Farmers
need assistance in adjusting their
farm businesses to rapidly chang
ing economic conditions”, says J.
L. Fulmer, assistant agricultural
economist of the South Carolina
Experiment Station, regarding his
recently published discussion of
“Types of Farming and Farm Busi
ness Studies in South Carolina”.
The publication is issued by the
Experiment Station as Bulletin 310.
It is the purpose of the study.

cent larger than production
last year, it would be the
fourth smallest crop in many years.
Bean production is expected to be
about 11 per cent above the 1928-
32 average. Apple production
is expected to exceed 200,000,000
bushels for the third time since
1920, and present conditions point
to a pear crop of 30,388,000 bushelfc,
about 11 per cent above the record
crop of 1934. Peach production, es
timated at 59,018,000 bushels, is
only a little above average. Both
the potato and sweetpotato crop
are fairly large, potatoes being es
timated at 402,537,000 bushels
compared with 329,997,000 bushels
harvested last year and a 1928-32
average of 372,115,000. Sweetpo
tato production is estimated at
nearly 74,000,000 bushels compared
with a 10-year average of 66,000,-
000 bushels. Vegetable prospects
continued to look very favorable
on August 1, with late-crop pro
duction indicated about one-sixth
greater than in 1936 and one-fifth
greater than average. The chief
exception to this general trend is
the late-onion crop, which wa^
damaged by heavy rainfall, es
pecially in the North Central and
New England States.
Both milk production and egg
production show the effects of the
.ncreased feed supply. In com
parison with reports on the same
date in past years, milk per cow
was the highest since 1929; and egg
production per 100 hens was tiu
highest on record.
