The Crop

For The present year Is being harvested, and
while it will fall short of the expectations Of two
months back, It will be the largest and most
valuable over grown In this county. The corn
crop, for tho area planted, Is fully an average,
and tho area in cotton is larger and tho yield
will bo much above that Of any past year.
Prices arc higher than was expected and pro-
mise to remain unchanged, with upward ten
denotes, so that all things considered this, 10
tho farmers, is prosperous year. Many debts
will bo paid, much interest will bo stopped and
general business will be moro active. Property
will advance in price, schools will bo more
generally patronized and progress, material and
moral, will take new impetus.
What is tho value Of tho present crop and
what hopes of the future Of this section does it
foreshadow? This is not q cotton growing
county, but little over half the cultivated por-
tion of 1t planting cotton, and yet we believe
our cotton crop will bring this year between
100000 and $500,o00, or sum nearly equal
to The assessed value of tho personal property
of tho county. This is conjecture, but wc can
hardly think ii far from the truth. The crop of
last year was very short and VIC have heard over
1000 bales of cotton were shipped from Seneca
that fall. Perhaps 1000 bales were shipped
from Walhalla, besides on equal quantity from
Westminster. There arc in tho county four
depots-Walhalla, Seneca City, Westminster and
Fort Madison. Somo of our cotton is also
carried to Pcndcton, Anderson, Toccoa and
other points. If we shipped last year from
5000 to 1000 bales, VIC will this year ship
from 10000 to $1,000 bales, worth from $40 to
$50 per bale.
1t would he q matter Of interest 10 our people
and would serve to bring into notice our section
Of tho State to publish an accurate account of
homo products made in and shipped from this
county. We think it would increase tho value
of our lands and invite immigration. With n
Wow 10 this we will bc under obligations to
agents ut dopots in our county for q report Of
cotton shipped from their stations during the
months of September, October, November and
December. These months cover the bulk of
our sales and would afford a safo basis of the
estimated crop. We would like also to hear the
amount Of corn, &C., shipped this fall from our
county. Suppose our crop this year to reach
10000 bales, it will bring into the county
$450,00O, and in ten years like crops would
bring in ST., 100000, or more than double tho
assessed yaluo of all our real and personal
estate. Of course the income each year would
increase by Investments in productive industries
of all kinds. Now VIC should be mainly grain
and stock growing county, and if VIC only mado
our annual consumption Of corn, flour and meat
our road tc wealth would be sure and easy.
