SUMTER'S
CLIMATE

CLIMATIC conditions have
their bearing upon both
health and prosperity. To very
large degree climate, health ard
prosperity are inseparable inso-
lar as the maintenance of the lat
ter two depend upon factors
which have to do with climatic
conc itions.
The following extract from
a report issued by the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture after survey made few
years ago by government ex-
perts defines Sumter's climate
accurately:
The climatic conditions of
Sumter county are especially fa-
vorable to agriculture. The sum-
mers are long, but not extremely
hot. The winters short; snow sell
dom falls, and ice more than
one-fourth inch thick is never
formed. Destructive winds, so
common in some parts of the
South, seldom occur in this i'm
mediate section.
The annual rainfall is abund-
ant but not excessive, and is very
we'll distributed throughout the
year. Protracted dry weather
sometimes occurs during the win
ter months, but very seldom in
the summer, so that crops are
rarely injured by such conditions
to any extent.
The date of killing. frost is
usually SO late in the fall or so
early in the spring that most
crops escape injury. The first
frost in the fall for the last 20
years has not occurred earlier
than October "a. 1t usually
comes in November and some
times as late as the first week in
December.
The winters are so mild that
such crops as onions, cabbage,
collards, turnips and beets may
be kept growing throughout the
year. By using a light cloth COW
err, lettuce, English Peas, and
other garden crops may be kept
green all winter.
Hail storms occasionally oc-
cur, but the damage to crops
from such source in the last 70
years has been very slight.
Taking the year as a whole,
there is perhaps no more pleas
ant climate anywhere in the
country. Though the summers
are long and warm, the hunidi-
ty is sometimes quite high, the
nights are cool and pleasant,
there being usually a good
breeze.
