CHARLESTON S. c., May 1.-The
News-Courier publishes special reports
from every county in South Carolina
in regard to the reduction of cotton
acreage. The reports show that in all
sections OF the state there has been
considerable reduction in the acreage
planted in cotton. In some sections
it will not amount to more than or
10 per cent. while in others it is as
nigh as 1G per cent. and in some in
stances farmers have not planted a
single cotton seed. Altogether it is
safe to say that the acreage is reduced
in the state about % per cent A very
gratifying feature OF this new farmers
movement Is that the acreage taken
from cotton is being given to the
bread crop.
