C. —: X Quality Sweet Potato Show At State Fair What South Carolina sweet po tato growers have done this year will be depicted in an exhibit sponsored by the Clemson College Extension Service at the 1937 State Fair to be held in Columbia, Oc tober 18-23, says County Agent R. D. Suber. “This exhibit will not only show some of the quality Sugaryams grown in the Palmetto State, but ahio will include sweet potatoes which were not produced through modern methods so that quality may be stressed by contrast,” Mr. Suber states. “Suggestive points on successful sweet potato production, grading, and marketing will be illustrated at the State Fair exhibit. These will include good seed, early plants, high potash versus low potash, vine cuttings versus sprouts, row width and distance between plants in the hill, results of careful har vesting; proper storing methods, and proper grading and market ing.” Through the home demonstration department of the Extension Ser vice, various dishes made from sweet potatoes will be displayed, it is announced. — ■■■ -x — Farm News Bright Spots Manning, Sept. 18.—County Agent F. M. Rast reports that one hog feeding demonstration record in Clarendon county showed a return of $2.15 for the corn fed. The corn was charged against the pigs at $1.25 per bushel. This demonstra tion was interesting in that it proved profitable to feed $1.25 corn when hogs are selling at 10 to 11 cents net, the net profit on the corn fed being about $1.00 per bushel. Sumter, Sept. 18.—“We are mak ing the best corn crop in a number of years”, says County Agent J. M. Eleazer. “Our hog shipments have been heavy during the past favor able marketing season and the spring pig crop was of fair size. It looks as though corn will be rather low in price and hogs fair ly good. All of this means we will have pretty heavy hog shipments during the fall and v/inter.” Walterboro, Sept. 18.—A pulp wood cutting demonstration, the first of a series being planned in this county, was held at the farm of C. H. Townsend in August. “The farmers who attended were in tensely interested”, says L. W. Al ford, county agent. “With the as sistance of state foresters they were shown that this tract of not unusually thick timber furnished enough pulp wood to reimburse for all taxes on the land for the last 45 years, which was the period of the timber’s growth. About 212 trees per acre of the best timber were left on the land. Within a few yee.rs these will be ’arge enough for saw logs.” St. George, Sept. 18.—During Au gust 324 hogs were marketed for Dorchester fanners netting $6,- 762.85. The Livestock Association organized in the spring made :ts first shipment of hogs on August 30. This was an exceptionally good shipment of hogs and returns were very satisfactory even on a declin ing market. “Fall shipments have started moving much earlier than usual due to better feeding meth ods and an abundance of corn on hand”, says County Agent G. C. Meares. Orangeburg, Sept. 18.—Plan have been approved for the second fat barrow show at the Coimtj Fair this fall. This feature was first attempted last year wkh ^uch sat isfactory results that the :air of ficials have adopted it as a per manent feature. “We expect a much larger show than last year, since about a dozen hog growers have already signified their inten tion of entering barrows in the show”, says L. B. Massey, county farm agent. “We feel that this fea ture will be of great educational value promoting better size, type, and finish.” Cotton Report As Of September 1, 1937 A South Carolina cotton crop of 856,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight is forecast from conditions as of September 1, according to re port issued by Frank O. Black, Agricultural Statistician, Columbia, Sept. 14. This is 7,000 bales below the August forecast and compares with 816,000 bales made last year. During the past four years the State has averaged 743,000 bales and for the years 1928-32, the aver age was 856,000 bales. The indicated yield per acre is 250 pounds which is 5 pounds less than indicated a month earlier. Last year’s yield was 279 pounds, the 1933-36 average 262 pounds and the 1928-32 average 219 pounds per harvested acre. The condition of the crop was reported as 67 per cent of normal on September 1 which is a decline of 7 points since August 1. This compares with a 6 point average August decline during the past 10 years. Correspondents report one-half of one per cent acreage abandon ment since July 1 which leaves 1,- 635,000 acres for harvest this fall. This acreage for harvest compares with 1,399,000 acres harvested last year and the average of 1,879,000 acres harvested during the years 1928-32. Reported weevil infestation is above average but about the same as reported in September of 1932 and 1935. The Census report shows 27,000 bales ginned in the State prior to September 1, which compares with 28,000 bales ginned to this date last year, 46,000 in 1935, and 5,000 in 1934. UNITED STATES A United States cotton crop of 16,098,000 bales is forecast by the Crop Reporting Board of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, based on conditions as of Septem ber 1, 1937. This is an increase of 505,000 bales from the forecast as of August 1, and compares with 12,399,000 bales in 1936, 10,638,000 bales in 1935, and 14,667,000 bales, the 5-year (1928-1932) average. The indicated yield per acre for the United States of 228.5 pounds is the highest on record and compares with 197.9 pounds in 1936 and 169.9 pounds, the 10-year (1923-32) aver age. It is estimated that 1.3 per cent of the acreage in cotton on July 1 has been, or will be, aban doned, leaving 33,736,000 acres re maining for harvest. This aban donment is one of the lowest on record. Increased production over that j indicated on August 1 is shown in, all major cotton States except Ok- j iahema and the Carolinas. Texas; shows an increase of 308,000 bales, Mississippi 110,000 bales and Ark ansas 71,000 bales, compared with the August report, while other States show more moderate in creases. These are due in part v<o improvement in prospective yields per acre and in part to less than average abandonment of acreage. Reductions in the Carolinas were mainly due to increased weevil damage; elsewhere losses from weevils have been relatively light. In Oklahoma the crop was some what injured by hot, dry winds during August, and in some lo calities damage has been caused by cotton hoppers. xx Y/eekly Cotton Grade And Staple Reports For Southeastern States For Week Ending Sept. 16, 1937 Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 18.—Week'v cotton grade and staple reports issued today for Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, show smaller propor tions of Strict Middling and higher grades than were shown is previous m A HUNDRED YEARS ADO.'
