Remarks-ln this state, there has been a
protracted drought; many claim the long
est for twenty years. The plant in a large
proportion of the state Is small, but in
healthy condition. Everything from now
out will have to be very favorably for the
plant to hold its own.
Knowing the districts, as we do, one
should bear in mind that a general aver
age, In a state report, is deceivng, as
counties showing small per cent. loss, may
be large producing county, where a
county showing large loss, produces but a
small per cent. of actual crop.
We feel safe in predicting the condition
of crop in South Carolina, at least to 10
per cent. poorer than last year, at the
present time.
