Addrsss_ (By H. P. Cooper, Director South Carolina Experiment Station) Crimson clover is one of the most promising winter annual ’egumes for the Piedmont region. Our climate is very well suited for the successful production of this olant when the soil conditions are suitable. Since such a large proportion if the soils in the state are too xcid for the production of this 'rop, one of the first soil condi- inns to consider is acidity. A pH value around six is a favorable maction for the growth of crim- on clover. Where the soil acidity s higher than is commonly classi- ied as moderately a^id. c’-’msor •lover usually does not make a atisfactory growth. , It has been observed that the armers succeeding with crimson lover have soils which are not trongly acid. This makes it nei- issary to select suitable sails for his crop. Soils should be well irained and not more than slightly acid. Where one wishes to grow a small acreage for a source of seed for the farm, it is recommended that he make an application of 1000 to 2000 pounds of limestone and 200 to 400 pounds of superphosphate or 1000 to 1500 pounds of basic slag. (This is the third in a series of four articles on crimson clover.) Cotton Report As Of September 1, 1938 A cotton crop of 643,000 bales is forecast for South Carolina from conditions as of September I, ac cording to report issued by Frank O. Black, Agricultural Statistician, decline being due to unfavorable weather and weevil activity. The indicated yield per acre of 235 pounds lint is slightly above average but 19 per cent below the unusually high yield of 289 pounds made in 1937. Compared with last year pros pects are better in the central portion of the State from north: to south than in either the north west or northeast sections. How ever, the latter sections made ex ceptionally high yields last year. Yield per acre is expected slightly to exceed that of 1937 in the group of southernmost coun ties, to be some 10 per cent below in the central and north central counties, but about 20 per cent down from the high yields of last year in the Piedmont and Pee Dee sections. A crop of 643,000 bales would be the second smallest since 1888, 37 per cent below production in 1937, and 19 per cent below average production for the 10 years 1927- 36. The smallest crop of the past fifty years was 492,000 bales made in 1922 and the largest 1,648,000 bales in 1911, altho the crop> of 1920 was only 26,000 bales below that of 1911. Correspondents report fbur tenths of one per cent acreage a- bandoned since July 1, which leaves 1,308,000 acres for harvest this fall. This compares with 1,- 395,000 acres harvested last year and the average of 1,686,000 acres • harvested during the years 1927- 36. Boll weevil damage is above av erage and may turn out to be the heaviest since 1929. The Bureau of the Census re ports 42,700 running bales ginned m the State prior to September I, which compares with 27,300 gW- ned to this date last year and 28,-' 500 in 1936. v United States A United States cotton crop of II, 825,000 bales is forecast by the Crop Reporting Board of the bureau of Agricultural Economics, based on oonjlition as of Septem ber l, l93fi{YThis is a decrease of 163.000 bales from the forecast as of August 1, and compares with 18,946,000 bales in 1937, 12,399,000 bales in 1936, and 13,201,000 bales, the 10-year (1927-36) average. The indicated yield per acre for the United States of 214.1 pounds compared with 266.9 pounds in 1937 and 179.8 pounds, the 10-year (1927-36) average. It is estimated that 1.7 per cent of the acreage in cotton on July 1 has- been; or will be, abandoned, leaving 26;- 449,000 acres remaining for har vest. In 1937 the abandonment was 1.4 per cent; the 10-year (1927-36) average abandonment was 2.3 per cent. Increased production ever that ndicated August 1 is shown in \lsbama, Louisana, Mississippi^ \rkansas, and Tennessee. These nc enses, however, are more than offset by decreases in Texas, Ok lahoma, Missouri. Georgia, South Carolina,, and Florida. Minor in creases are shown in Arizona an<T California. Probable loss from boll weevils is now expected to be considera bly heavier than last year, but about the same as the average loss during the 10-year period. 1927-36. In Virginia, yields Iteve been reduced more by weevils than in any previous year; and in the Carolinas and'Georgia^ the? loss from these insects will be: more than average, in the cen tral portion of the Cotton Beit,, weevil damage is about average;, while in Texas and Oklahoma less, than average loss is in prospect. / I states report heavier weevil c' nage this year than last. > Sig- r ’cant infestation of leaf worms c urred much earlier than us- u:U in the central and western parts of the Belt. Both leaf Columbia, S. C., Sept. 9. This is worms and boll worms have been 48,000 bales or 7 per cent below particularly active and:, damaging, prospects a month earlier,, the in Texas..
