The prime object Of this Movement
is to vitality strengthen the work tor

his Movement has been dlvlneiy Ill

When Will Frost Come?

Farmers throughout the cotton belt
are this year much interested in th'
first killing tr 'st. On account of pc
culiar weathe conditions the pas
summer the farmers expect much
larger yield of cotton should the fros
hold off we'll along in November. l;
South Carolina the season has been
decidedly peculiar one. Continuet
drouth during the middle summer pre-
vented the early growth of bloom,
and caused shedding Of the smal!t
bolls and squares curing the early da,
of August. Rains which came fairly
heavily between the 18th and 25th o.
August gave the cotton a new start
80 that many new blooms and square,
have been put forth, and are rapidly
approaching maturity. The question
with farmers is now whether this
"top" crop, or what portion theren
will come to maturity before the frs
frost falls.
According to the weather maps i,
the office of the federal department OF
agriculture, the earliest killing FROST
ever recorded by the government OBJ
servers in South Carolina were on o.
tober 10th for the upper section, Oct,'.
ber 20 for the central and November
for the lower. The average first frost
date, according to the map, in South
Carolina, is November to 5, for the
upper sections. Farmers who are Ia
miliar with the time consumed by the
cotton boil from the bloom to maturl-
ty can figure out their ''top' crop
yields by some such data.
