Acreage Increased.

Columbia, S. c., Special.-The far
ners in several counties have by reso-
luton boycotted the fertilizer trust, but
the sale of fertilizers this year is near
II one half more than last year. The
inference is that the acreage OF cotton
has been increased proportionately.
Hard freezes have injured small grain,
of which there was an increased acre
age. Farmers. inspired by prevailing
nrices. are turning back 10 cotton. All
available land will be planted. The
income from the % cents per ton tax
on fertilizers for the present year 10
date is but s7,34S short of the income
for all of last year. The total number
of tons sold last year was 264,496. while
this years sales are estimated at 39l''
-, nearly q half more.
