SUMTER FARMS
PRESENT SCENE
GREAT ACTIVITY

This week will witness a world of
work accomplished on the fine farms
of Sumter, according to statements of
farmers coming to Americas today.
They declare that the cotton crop of
Sumter will be reduced at least one
third this year and are preparing lands
accordingly. Scarcity of fertilizer and
cotton seed for planting will, in H.
self, enforce material reduction, even
if the farmers were not inclined to
cut the acreage.
In some portions of the county far
mers declare they will reduce their
cotton acreage one-third and cut fer
tilizer one-half. This proportion is not
as great in all parts of the county,
though undoubtedly there will be Il
substantial reduction in both fertiliz-
Slo anu TIE dtuOuuI VI COIIOu planted.
So far as has been ascertained the
recent rise in the price of cotton is not
having any marked effect upon the
planters of Sumter towards increasing
their acreage. They are going aheal
planning for a large corn crop-the
greatest known in the history of the
county-and the large acreage sown
in wheat and oats will make it impos-
sible for Sumter county to plant a
large cotton crop.
The farmers here say they have
learned their lesson and it is believed
they have and that they will never
again raise cotton to the exclusion OF
| food crops.
