March lb Thul Ihr acreage planted in cotton in South Carolina this year will be materially I reduced is shown in the suminar) of I a survey just completed by the I'eo I pies National bank. The survey was I a most comprehensive one and war made with the Idea of getting an ac? curate statement of conditions In every part of the state, h is under? stood that similar surveys are in progress in other cotton growing states and th< Indications point to I findings similar to those gleaned I from the South Carolina survey. And w 11i!?? the acreage w ill be ma? terially reduced, it is believed the yield i" r acre will be less than formerly. Concrete reasons for this belief is found in the fact that tli ? farmers ait- not going to be able i" finance the planting of as large an acreage ns lusl year, and In tin fur? ther fact thul a large number are ;_o illg to be unable to purchase proper fertilisers to Iiisur? the usual yield. The facts that this will be the case in UK*nth Carolina arc indisputable, ami it is ladieved that the saun- con? ditions obtain in most <u the eon ut states. The survey of the I'copies National bank wus inadi b) means ol ti i|iies tlonuairc to ever) bank in the state. Ne;nl\ all the banks tilled in the re? plies to the questions asked. The summury of the replica, made public today, shows thai Ihu farmers ol the Btnte now have on hand uhoul 59 per cent, of ih?' l'JJii cotton crop, ol which nearly 3'J per rent, grades un? der middling. Tin* acn age r? duc ti<?n in the Btale is estimated in the replies at 37.8 p< r e< nt. and reduction io the us'? of eei tmeri iul fertilizers will be around t?3 pel cent. "He cause of the very great acreage r< j ductioii, the small use <u fertilisers and the dlllii ulty in aei urlng linan ?i.il aid. it seems that Ihe yield of cotton in South Carolina during 1021 will be far less than In 11120," stated an official oi' th- bunk in comment? ing on the sum mar); from iho sur? vey. Continuing, the summary shows u decided majority of the banks reply? ing stated emphatically that they would require an acreage reduction before grunting loans, while n great many more who do not require it, will urge und advise in favor of re? duction. I'raetically no bank in the st;ite intends to lend an., money for the cash purchase of fertilisers, the replh s show, while few of th ? lien merchants of the state are prepared to extend credit to the farmers lhis year without the help of the banks. "Within the last day or two," said one of th" bank ofllcials in discuss? ing the survey, "reports have been coining to us that many farms are being abandoned because the tenunts are unable to make financial ar? rangements to plant another crop of cotton under present conditions." Light in line with the bank survey is th.- statement of u representative of sj well known fertiliser con? cern a few d;ivs ag ?. His state? ment was to the effect that not every farmer would be able to secure cfrtlllzevs this year and very litt'.? Is being sold on time. He said h< knew of farmers who paid cash for their fertilisers lasl year, who have been denied fertilisers on a time basis. His opinion was thut the use of fertilisers would Ikj material? ly curtailed this year, despite the fact that the price waa from lt. to per cent, less than obtaining last year. The acreage of cotton und of other crops will he cut considerably or tin- crops will be attempted with the use of llttU or no fertilisers, he declined. Iiis statements are borne out by the course adopted locally, as little fertilizer h;is been sold to [ date, Htt>' local diahrs, and it is be? lieved the same is true of nearly ?\ et y local il y.
