HIG SMALL GRAIN CROP.
Harvest of This Bummer Has Rccil
Largest BvOV Made in the State.
The State.
"South Carolina has just harvested
the largest small grain crop in her
history," said K. J. Watson, commis?
si
sioner <>f agriculture, yesterday. "Tho
acreage this year was at h ast ?>0
per cent In advance of that ?f last
year, and the yield per acre this
year was exceptionally large. The
farmers experienced little difficulty |
last fall In gathering the cotton crop,
which was small in comparison With
that of the previous year. The weath?
er was mild, and when the cotton
picking season closed earlier than us-;
ual, the farmers lost no time in put?
ting In heavy crops of grain. Then
the month of May was particularly I
suitable for small grains. All these
things taken together enabled South
Carolina to produce a 'bumper' crop
of wheat, oats and rye. The thing for
the farmers to do now is to BOW the
stubble land in peas."
