TOBACCO OUTLOOK 1 MOST ENCOURAGING, REPORTS INDICATE 25 PER CENT. INCREASE IN THE ACREAGE THIS YEAR. Columbia, July 12:?inasmuch as the tobacco harvest and marketing season is about to open, the State Department of Agriculture has been busy during the past week getting full information at first.hand in regard to the crop conditions and in regard to the markets and warehouses that will be operated this season,this being necessary,owing to the fact that every pound of tobacco sold in the State must be report ed by months to the department. Last week M J Miller, chief clerk of the department, spent several days going through the tobacco territory, visiting the warehouses and the warehousemen and getting complete data preliminary to sending out the necessary blanks. Commissioner Watson in summarizing the information that Has been obtained gives the following interesting data in regard to the outlook . and to the market season: TOBACCO OUTLOOK. "The tobacco season in South Carolina this year promises to be one of the best in the history of the State. Last year 33,299,561 pounds of tobacco were raised and sold in the State and brought to the producers the sum of $4.584,339.51,an increase of 37 per cent over the preceding year in production and nearly $2,000,000 more than the preceding year in money value. The average price paid per pound was 13.77 v A fkfl kairrVit fko co'jcnn VC-'lilO. XIV "4It Iiti^iJV v* vnv. cvugvti last year there were 19 markets operating 42 warehouses. The markets ' were: Conway, Darhngton, Dillon, Florence. Hemingway, Johnsonville, Kingstree, Lake City, Lamar, Latta. Loris, Manning, Marion, Mayesville, Mullins,Nichols,Olanta, Page's Mills and Timmonsville. "This season it appears that there will be only two warehouses that were open last .year not in operation this year, one at Mayesville and one at. Florence. There will be in operation this season the following new warehouses: One at Aynor, two at Eartsville, one at Hemingway, one at Kingstree, one at Manning, two at PamDlico. one at Sumter, one at Olanta, one at Cheraw and probably one at Dorchester. "This means the establishment of at least five, and probably six, new markets this year?Aynor, Pamplico, Hartsville, Sumter, Cheraw and Dorchester. "The handling of the tobacco crop in South Carolina is largely handled and conducted by two tobacco warehousemen's associations, the one operating in the territory west of the Pee-Dee. which met during the past week and organized for the season, electing W E Lea of Timmonsville president and G H Pegram of Florence secretary, and the other operating east of the Pee-Dee, of which R M Winn of Mullins is secretary, and which will meet to organize for the season $t Mullins July 18. "At the meeting at Florence the general condition of the crop was discussed and information reported, sand the proper steps taken for the opening of the marketing season. "It has been agreed by both associations to open the tobacco marketing season in all warehouses throughout the tobacco territory July 22, and the indications are that there will be a very large amount of tobacco of fine quality offered at the several 'breaks.' "In regard to the crops this year the reports indicate an increase of 25 per cent in acreage in the territory around Kingstree. with the yield per acre equally as good as last year. "Around Manning there was 25 per cent increase in acreage,but owing to adverse conditions only about 75 per cent of a stand has been obtained. Around Hartsville some 2,000 acres were planted, but a poor stand was obtained. If conditions had been better at the planting season at least 3,000 acres would have been put in. Around Timmonsville the acreage was not increased and the stdnd has not been so good as usual. It is believed that in this particular territory the crop will be only about three-fourths of what it was last year., Around Mullins the usual acreage was planted, but the season at the outset was bad and there has been a poor stand. The information that reaches this department throughout the associations and others is that the crop this ?i i- i.: ? ii.. year win De pracucajiy uic same m quantity as last year and there is every indication that the quality will be even better." W E Lea of Timmonsville, the head of the warehousemen's association, predicts that the production of tobacco in this State this year will hardly be more than three-fourths of the crop of last year. A person who is too good to be j true is a hypocrite. ???????????
