KINGSTREE WAREHOUSES SOLD 3,539,634 POUNDS. While South Carolina this yeai marketed the largest crop of tobac co in the history of the industry ir this State, yet the figures show thai the receipts fell away considerably, due to a depreciation of more thar 4 cents a pound on account of the European war. The total receipts this year were $3,979,303.82, a falling off of $605,035.69. The value of the tobacco crop in the United States last year w^s $104,063,000, Therefore South Carolina's increased yield this year can have nothing to do with the price in this State. The reports, made under oath and filed in the office of the State Department of Agriculture,show that there were six new markets in the State this year and that one of the former markets was closed ? that at Mayesville, which last year handled 73.00C pounds of tobacco and received therefor $8,095.73. Sumter established a market this year and the Sumter Chamber of Commerce encouraged the growing of tobacco with the results that there was marketed at Sumter 495,209 pounds, bringing $54,974.40. The annual reports compiled show that Lake City jumped ahead of Mullins and led the Slate this year in the amount of tobacco sold. Last year the figures were: Mullins 4,678,080 pounds and Lake City 4,343,321. This year Lake City took the lead with 0,283,500 pounds, with Mullins but 3,708,984. On the other hand Lntta advanced from 194.913 V 1.321.73-3 pounds. While the price fell off this year, ''yet it was nearly as high as it was in 1912, showing that last year there was a kind of spurt in price, and the most interesting fart in c< r.nection with the statement is the showing that all but $485,000 of the ' : i :urday i going to ns that w o select fi AC J I V4^? can't find a bet re showing.

The tobacco in- 1 dustry. or the bulk of it, is confined to half a dozen counties, and the cash money turned loose in those As counties during August and Sep( tember amounted to over $3,000,000. The Department of Agriculture for 10 years has been urging the jov | people to diversify their crops and ] this is a concrete illustration of the ^ effect of having more than one crop. j^e] The tobacco farmer gets his money -p|, (j in the summer time when there is I no cotton to sell. What has been wj] done with tobacco in a certain sec- a j, tion of the State, itself rather small ma r in area, can be done with other cas crops and must be next year, is the |an I advice of the department. While the margin of profits on tobacco was reduced by the war, yet it is a fact cer that the money was put into eircu- for . lation, and that meant a lot. fec The figures for each of the mar- S|K ( kets of the State as compiled in the j I office of the State Department of cor Agriculture will be of great interest ue> throughout the tobacco belt, as well ver as elsewhere in the State. There is ^U( no tobacco grown for sale in the ]a^. , j Piedmont counties, although as far | jsll | up as the mountains of Oconee coun- J ^j] ! ty many farmers produce tobacco; i for use on their own places, and it' pn I is tobacco of a good grade. The in-1 cor j dustry has never been encouraged jSun i there by the starting of markets. Iltlr par WHAT THE MARKETS DID. i ^ The figures for the season justI..J i p 11 ! closed follow: Pounds.
