cent Of normal, or per cent lower
than on May 1, the reduction being
attributed to excessive rains, rust and
chinch bugs. The estimated product
ion for the State placed at 100000
bushels, which, as Mr.. Hare has es-
timated is a little less than one-half
the amount needed to meet the US
ual requirements for the State.
The acreage of oats in South Car
olina is estimated at per cent less
than last year, the condition on June
I being 86 per cent Of normal. The
total production will approximate g.
100000 bushels.
The condition of rye is reported at
80 per cent of normal, apples 55 per
cent, hay 88, clover 90, alfalfa 90,
cabbages 80, onions 90, peaches 3D.
pears SO, blackberries 81, watermelons
81, and canteloupes 70.
Farm work for the month of May
was far from satisfactory. The alb
normal amount Of rain in the cen
tral and northern counties caused Sc
rious delay in planting both corn and
cotton, as well as the proper cult
walton of early planted crops. Rain
fall in counties of the Pee Dee Sec
tion was lighter and farmers were
able to harvest their grain crop in
good condition and give the much
needed cultivation to cotton and corn
both of which have shown much i'm
provement during the last two weeks
The peach crop is very short, though
shipping has been in progress in the
Ridge Spring section for several days
A number of hail storms of more
or less severity were reported dur.
ing the month, causing considerable
damage to growing crops, especially
cotton, corn and unharvested grain

GERMANY TO know
Her FATE SHORTLY
Stage Set for Closing Scenery of
Peace Conference
SOME LATE INTINIATIONS
Paris Reports Speak of Germany Be-
ing Admitted to League in Near
Feature

The stage Is set for the closing
scenes Of the peace congress, so far
as the Germans are concerned. Within
few hours it is expected that the
Germans will be told the terms,
brought down TO an irrcduciblc min
imum, on which Allied and associated
governments are ready to take up re-
lations on a peace footing with the
new German republic.
The period of five days after de-
livery of the reply of the Allies to
the German counter proposals has
been fixed for the signature or rejcc-
ton Of the treaty.
Germany and League.
1t is intimated from Paris that Ger
many's admission to the league of
nations is set for the "near future"
Previous dispatcehs had indicated
that the replyt to Count Won Brock
dorff- Rantzau would merely state the
conditions considered necessary for
Germany's entry in the league, such
as fulfillment of the treaty terms and
Of Germany's international obliga-
tions, including reparations and the
payment Of the Allied claims.
Important for Germany, as we'll as
for the Allied countries, is plan out
lined in the answer to the German
counter proposals. This provides for
civil rather than military administra-
ton Of the region on the left bank Of
the Rhine. Under the proposal au-
thority would be placeG in a commits
sion, consisting of one member for
each Of the great powers, thus rem
derng unnecessary the maintenance
Of large occupational force. AS Ger
many, under the terms Of the armis-
tice, stands obligated to pay the ex-
penses Of the military occupation of
the Rhineland, the sums saved to her
by the substitution of civil for mill
tary administration would be enor-
nous.
Austria's Reply.
Austria's reply to the treaty pre-
sented to her delegates is due Tues
day, but as the treaty in it's present
form lacks many important clauses, it
is probable that request for further
time would be favorably considered
by the peace conference. The coun-
eli Of four will devote part of Monday
20 consideration Of the remaining sec
tions Of the Austrian treaty, and eff
forts are to be made to whip the com
plcted document into form as speedily
as possible.
.Bolshevik and anarchistic disorders
are reported from Switzerland. Two
persons were killed and seventeen
wounded, according to official figures,
in d serious uprising in Zurich, in
which the r!"itt,prc 'S,s stor.d, the

composed of three warm friends of
