South Carolina Wheat State

COLUMBIA.-Few people know that
the wheat crop is one of the crops in
this state. The crop of wheat for 1910,
according to the department of agri-
culture, has been by far the largest and
best in the history of the state, although
the increase in production in 1909 over
1908 was nearly 100000 bushels and
the acreage during that period increased
15S,00O
The increase in acreage this year ex-
ceeded so per cent and the production
will reach very nearly 100000 bushels,
it is stated.
The largest production of wheat n
South Carolina heretofore was $4,000,
against s,S35,000 bush els for the year
before. The quality of the crop this
year is said to be excellent, and the crop
will go upon the market at a maximum
average price. The seasons were partic-
uarly good for harvesting and practical
ly no acreage was abndoned.
In one loclity alone this year, where
no wheat had been planted heretofore,
5000 acres were put in The crop will go
on the market at very nearly 81 per
bushel Wheat growing has developed
very rapidly in this state. the acreage
being 174,245 in 1900, $4,000 in 1907,
$4,000 in 1908, and 473,0O0 in 1909. 1t
is a noteworthy fact that the value or
wheat on the market per bushel In this
state at the end of last year, was S1.46.
which was above that Of any other state,
the next highest being Georgia and Ari-

one large farmer some days ago had a

Cotton that is usually run over several
times both with the pillow and the hoe

East Texas Corn

HOUSTON.-Joseph HELEN, general pas
senger agent of the Texas and New Or
leans, returned from Woodville. Tex
where he left the swine demonstration
train. At Woodville, Mr.. HELEN claims
that he saw corn raised on land that
had been planted in corn for 40 years
without change and with but little fertiliz-
ing, and that 1t was one of the finest
fields he ever looked at. The east Texas
country, Mr. HELEN believes, is coming
to the front, not only because of the
natural advantages of the soil. but be-
cause the people in that section of the
state are really becoming interested In
up-to-date farming. Mr.. HELEN also pays
high compliment to o. w. Matthews,
secretary of the Fort Worth Stock Yards,
for his work on the trip through east
Texas.

Develop Waste Spots

HOUSTON.-It is stated on good au-
thority that the agricultural educational
train which the Houston and Texas Gen.
trail will start from College Station on
August and continue on the road for
ten days, visiting 81 towns and cities,
will cost nothing short of $4,000, 1t being
one of the most elaborate propositions
ever attempted by the Sunset-Central
lines in Texas.
The itinerary of the train, which will
be composed OF ten coaches, will cover
north and central Texas and will pene-
trate the garden spot of the state and
that section thought to be particularly
adaptable to dairying, horticulture, cot
ton, corn and the live stock industry.
The uppermost question is the thorough
instilling into the minds of the farmers
of the sections visited the theory and
practice of diversified farming. The per-
sonnet of the party accompanying the
train is notable, consisting of the most
practical educators in the agricultural
and mechanical schools of the state and
men connected with the department OF
agriculture at Austin.
Col. T. ]. Anderson, general passenger
agent of the Sunset-Central route. left
Houston a few days ago to go over the
route Of the special, and returned to
Houston Friday, reporting that a great
interest had been awakened.
1T is impossible to foretell the bene-
fits of this sort of a proposition" said
Colonel Anderson. II am positive that
the train will be unequaled by any of a
like character in the United States, and
1t will be thoroughly practical. We are
out to develop the forgotten spots in the
state of Texas"

CHARLOTTE.-Discu the condi-

over two weeks behind and that some
of the farms would not produce more
than half a crop. Cotton, he said, had

According to Mr.. Brewers observa-

Forest is very poor, while the new is
some better, but taking 1T all together,
not more than half the usual crop Will
be produced. During the present cot

prices ranging recently from 10 l-f

State Farm Prospects

BIA.-Superintendent Griffith,
of the state penitentiary, thinks that

best farmers in the state and a good
Judge of conditions, and the state farm
is one of the most productive In the
state.
Captain Griffith states that when ne
visited the farm some weeks ago the
corn crop was the finest he had ever
seen, but since that time the corn mas

TuberCuIar Cattle

MEMPHIS.-Dr. N. F. Raines, county
health officer who is also in charge of the
inspection of live stock for this county,
has had plans for the slaughter house in
which diseased and tuberculosis cattle
are to be killed sent to Washington for
the approval of the United States govern
ment authorities. AS soon as the plans
have been approved the county will pro-
coed to construct the slaughter pens, so
that the law can be strictly carried out
under government supervision. The coun-
ty court recently provided for the build
ing OF such a slaughter house. DR..
Raines anticipates that it will be ready
before the middle of next month.
