On motion, the Reports were a'lopled.
E. e. Palmer, Esq, made the following
report on the Cotton crop Of 1910, which
was ordered to be published with the pro-
ccetlings.
The committee appointed to ascertain
the amnnnt of The Cotton crop of the Stale
Of S;unrh Carolina, for the year 1910, beg
leave ln report, that they have given to
the suhiccr the choices, investigation, and
that from the number Of persons, from eve
rv portion of the State, now assembled al
this pIacc, they have enjnyed peculiar ad-
vantaees in arriving at the most accurate
information. Your committee hive been
struck with the coincidence Of the views
of those whom they epquired. as the fail
ure of the present crop--and believe that
if they were disposed 10 arrive al The most
accurate conclusions on the subject, that
they would estimate the failure OF the
INLAND crops of the State Of SouIh Caro-.
lima, for the year 1910, at fve.eshIs OF
the crop of 1899, which amounted to 3Ol,-
500 bales, and which would make The
present crop lS5,4SO haIes. But bel'ev-
Ing that the safer course would be TO un-
der rather Than over estimate the failure,
with view 10 give greater confidence IN
the future reports of this Suciety. thoy have
concluded to fix the present crop al about
2OO,OO bales. Your committee regret that
thew have not been able 10 procure as am
pie information, in relation to the Santee
and Sea Island couons, MS they would de-
sire, but believe that the failure will bc
very nearly one half Of The crop oil 1859.
