Black, agricultural statistician, Columbia, December 29th. In 1938, crop yields per acre were nearly 11 per cent above, and the aggregate acreage of crops har vested was 3 1-2 per cent below, the average for the 1923-32 period, which preceded the recent severe drought years. Crop production, which was also affected by the shift from com and cotton to less intensive crops, was nearly 5 per cent^above average and nearly as high as in the most favorable seasons of the past 20 years, ex-* cepting only 1937 when excep tionally heavy yields resulted in a production more than 13 per cent abcve the predrought average. Due to the large reserves carried over from the ebumper crops . of last season, supplies of some crops which ‘can be stored are relatively larger this seaflbn than the pro- ‘fplBtion- figures alone would indi te. Supplies of apples, cotton- buckwheat and domestic ijppear below v average, considering all crops and al so the various sections of the in qiltyparison with re- ««t yew*, tfcrfs of real crop shortages seem noticeably lacking. This appearance of an abundance of crops, however/ is due in part to the relatively small numbers of livestock op toe farms to consume the grain and to a lower level of domestic and , foreign demand than was considered normal a few years ago. On' a per capita basis the level ^f crop production is not high. Dyith crop production this year placed at 104.8 per cent of toe 1923-32 or predrought aver age, and population at 109.6 per GREENWOOD, S. C. production in earlier decades back to 1900 or possibly beyond would result in a progressively less fa vorable showing. The total area of 45 crops har vested in 1938 is estimated to have been just a little under 342,000,- 000 acres compared with just over 341,000,000 in 1937, an average of 320,000,000 acres during the four drought years, and 354,000,000 acres during the preceding de cade. Between 1937 and 1938 harvested acreages declined in most States blit there was an in crease of about 9,000,000 in the Great Plains States from Kansas and Nebraska northward, due chiefly to the smaller loss of acre age from drought. Record acreages of soybeans and peanuts and a near-record acreage of cowpeas were threshed this year and a large acreage ‘of velvet beans was grown. The trend In the yield of soybeans, beans and peanuts also appears to be upward. The production of food crops, which was particularly heavy last year, seems equally heavy this year although somewhat differ ently distributed. The wheat crop of nearly 931,000,000 bushels is 55,000,000 bushels above produc tion last year. Only three wheat. crops, those of 1931, 1919 and 1915, have been larger. Rye, estimated at 55,000,- 000 bushels, is 10 per cent above production last year and the sec ond largest crop since 1924. Rice, estimated at 52,303,000 bushels, and dry beans, estimated at 15,- 268,000 bushels, are each 2 per cent below last year’s output but larger than in any previous year. Buckwheat, which is declining in importance, is only about 1 per cent below last year. Peanuts, at 712,000 tons, are 7 per cent over the previous high record. The crops of sugar beets and, sugar cane (continental U. S. only) are above previous records and the increases much more than offset the declining production of sorgo sirpp. The aggregate tonnage of potatoes? sweet potatoes and com mercial vegetables and also toe tonnage .of the 1938 fruit crops are lower than in 1937 but higher than in any previous year. In 1938 the potato crop was only about average and apple produc tion was below average. On a per capita basis, therefore, pro duction of both fruits and vege tables has been higher in some earlier years when big crops of K potatoes or apples were harvested. 4 ‘Qu ■ n 1 elfcrtlllv Hear Dr. Clarence Poe On Livestock Farming In Columbia, Jan. 11 Clemson, Dec. 31.—The general farm situation, with special refer ence to the future development of j trix of the estate of James Joseph FINAL SETTLEMENT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick.

Director D. W. Watkins of the Extension Service, in announcing Dr. Poe’s address, states that while this general meeting comes in conjunction with the state poultry meeting, the program for January 11 win be one of general Interest to farmers and farm leaders, and Dr. Poe’s discussion will deal with the increased im portance of various kinds of live stock under present farming cbn- ditions. “We know, of course, that the outlook for the price of cotton during the next several years must result in many cotton farm ers devoting some time and land to the livestock types of farming,” says Director Watkins. “Farmers generally are therefore invited to attend ‘ the meeting, especially those who contemplate under taking any type of livestock farm ing. acreage picked since 1900. , Tobacco gave a yield per acre less than 1 per cent below the record yield secured In 1935. Pro duction is quite a little below last year but about 10 per cent above average. The production of feed grains in 1938 shows the equivalent' of nearly 97 million tons compared with nearly 101 million last year The 1927-36 average is 89 million tens, and the predrought (1923-32) average production is 101 million tons.
