Crop Conditions Favorable

Farmers hereabOuts who have studied
the crop situation during the past sew
eral months. are OF the opinion that the
crops this season will be better than those
Of last. all rumors and talk to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Reports have
been current to the effect that ma
jority Of the crops would prove to be ut
ter failures this year, but those in close
touch with farm conditions deny the
truth Of these reports, and so far as to
state that conditions are better than
usual. Vegetables, with a very few ex-
ceptions, are very plentiful and are
bringing the best prices in the market.
watermelons and cantaloupes are just
now engaging the attention of truck far
mers. who are shipping them to eevry
point in the country.
In those sections OF South Carolina in
which corn is grown these plants are
said to be coming on nicely. The re-
cent heavy rains, 1t is thought, will not
have a very appreciable adverse effect
upon the crop harvest. 1t is to be hoped,
the farmers say, that the wet season
will be followed by an abundance Of sun
shine, which will, to a great degree, Off
set any bad effects which the rains might
have had. The crops, where somewhat
backward when the rains commenced, 1t
is pointed out. Had they been normal
time, the rainfall would have damaged
them to a great extent; but the fact that
they were several weeks late acted as
a preventive against the influence Of
the over-moist conditions that followed.
II is freely admitted that the cotton
crop is backward this season by the far
mers. They. however. add that the
crop is beginning TO make encouraging
progress. Experienced growers believe
that the long staple cotton will not suf-
fer as much from the recent adverse
" eather conditions as the short staple.
as the former natures later. Again, II
is pointed out that had the cotton crops
been more advanced when the rains
commenced. they would have suffered
more than is at present the case. Taken
as a whole the farmers of this section
believe that South Carolina and the
south generally will be able to garner a
fair crop at the end of the season.

WASHINGTON July 16-"The drouth from
which the west is now suffering only verifies
what many agriculturalists have expected for
a long time" said Acting Secretary hays, OF
the department Of agriculture today. MANY
Of us knowing that the west had suffered from
cycles of drouth, believed that these cycles
would again hamper the farmers there, but the

real condition that faced theg," continued Mr.
Hays who was a farmer In Minnesota before
becoming an assistant secretary of agriculture
1.-The west is really a much better country
than many agriculturists believed, but must
face the fact that these cycles Of drouth will
recur and farmers must finance their farms in
such a conservative way as to have surplus
money with which to face these periods OF
non productiveness."

Rice Growers EIated

The rice growers are very much elated
over the favorable report of DIR. w. H.
Dalrymple. state veterinarian, which goes
to show that rough rice as a feed for
horses and mules is not only safe but good
The formula for a ration is as follows:
Eight pounds ofArough rice, ground; one
half pound of seed meal. four pounds Of
molasses, twelve pounds OF lespediza hay.
The decision of the board of food and
drug inspection from Washington. as to
the labelling to be required hereafter for
all rice, is very interesting to the rice
millers. Rice has to be labeled from
where grown. japan rice has to be Ia
beled Grown in the United States;" Hon
duras rice has the same; Texas rice sold
as Carolina Gold" has to be labeled
