Three Times az Much.
Speaking Of. the increase In the
Il amount Of wheat and oats sown iE this
vicinity this fall, Yorkville merchant
/ said Wednesday that in his opinion tie
| increase is something like 800 per cent.
This merchant usually disposes OF
eight or nine hundred bushels Of seed
| oats each year, and up to this season,
| most Of that seed oats has been bought
from without the state. Continuing the
merchant said that the decrease In his
sales was due largely to the fact many
farmers in the communitv raised q
large surplus Of grain themselves and
have been disposing Of this surplus to
other farmers. He was absolutely sure.
however, that the acreage devoted to
j wheat and oats in this community Is
i three times as large as last year.
In tho Hail District.
i A gentleman Of Rock Hill, who has
| considerable farming interests In the
hail district Of Ebenczer and Catawba
townships said wednesday, that fol-
lowing the July hail storm he planted
a large acreage in corn and My, but 1t
was certainly fine and 1t did look
good" he said AT the time1 thought
| proper, had 1t cut and shocked. Last
weeks rain just about ruined my
whole crop. When cut, the corn owing
| to its quick growth, was not fully
cured and I was depending on the
shocking to finish the curing. Exam
L
corn is rotten-the cob has turned blue
and is rotten through. put nv negroes
on 1t at once to shuck out the corn and
| pick out the best part Of 1t; but l.
doubt II 1t will be fit to feed to mules
and horses, and hardly think any Of 1t
will do for hogs even"
