SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
Counties Leading i'm the Proruction of
Crops i'm S. G.. i'm 1920.

B. B. Hare, agricultural statisti-
clan for the bureau of crop estimates
United States department of agricul,
ture, makes the following statistical
observations with reference to South
Carolina agriculture:
Total area of the state is approx
mately 19,60O,OO0 acres, about one
third of which was in cultivation in
1920.
Of the 192,664 farms about 55 pei
cent. are operated by owners and 45
per cent. by tenants.
Cotton, the leading money crop
represents As per cent. of the acreage
planted to all crops in 1920, and so
per cent. of the total value of 13
leading crops. Production in 1920
was 100000 bales.
The state ranked 4th in acreage
and 2nd in production of cotton in
1920.
Corn is the second crop from the
standpoint of value, the production
in 1920 being 42,370,OOO bushels,
valued at s49,000,000.
Compared with other states South
Carolina ranked 9Th in production OF
tobacco in 1920, total yield being
66,950,000 pounds.
Stands 5th in production of rice.
Total yield 100000 bushels.
Ranks 9Th in sorghum syrup. To-
tai production 100000 gallons.
Ranks 7th in peanuts. Production
100000 bushels.
Total acreage Of corn, wheat, oats,
rye, tobacco, hay, peanuts, rice,
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, sor-
ghum for syrup, cowpeas and cotton,

900, with an average yield per acre
of $3.50. The total value of these
crops in 1919 was s404,000,000.
The value per acre of these crops

for each legume?
If you are thinking of buying some
! fertilizers, lime, pure-bred live
stock or wire fencing, had it occur
red to you that the county agent
might be of assistance in making up
cooperative order with other
farmers who have the same plans and
at saving to all?
Has it occurred to you that he
might be of assistance in locating a
market and making up a cooperative
shipment of farm produce among your
neighbors?
Is there anything that you need
that is obtainable from your agricul-
tural college of from the United
States department of agriculture?
Have you got some boys that ought
to be in the pig club or corn club,
or some other kind of club?
Are you a progressive minded citi-
zen living in backward community
and wanting to enlist someone to help
diagnose and remedy the trouble?
Then call the county agent.
The county agent is professional
man having knowledge bearing on
the sciences of agriculture, says D.
W. Watkins, assistant director OF the
extension service, and farmers who
do not use him and find him source
of information md profit, simply do
not know how to use him and have
not learned what to expect from him.

Do You Call the County Agent?

When you want to start a home
orchard, or to spray properly and
prune the old trees?
When you are having trouble with
your livestock in any way or is it that
they are simply not profitable?
When there is some bug or worm
or spider attacking your field or
garden crops?
When you are dissatisfied with the
seed you are planting?
When you are not absolutely sure
you are following the best method
of fertilization for your type of soil
and crop?
When the boil rot, cotton wilt, to-
mato wilt and other plant diseases
render your effort as, profitable farm
ing vain?
When you have decided to grow
enough food for your family and live
stock instead of buying it, and you
are in doubt as to what crop and
what acreage to plant?
Do you know the best method of
preparing, planting, and harvesting
each of these crops?
Do YOU know where you can obtain
the necessary disease-free seed?
If any of these crops happen to be
legumes, do you know where you can
obtain most economically and how to
use properly the right incubation

Facts About Cotton.

Marlboro county, South Carolina
claims the distinction of averaging
production of more cotton per acre
than any other county in the United
States.
Ellis county, Texas, in total num-
Der of bales produced is the banner
cotton growing county in the United
States.
The per acre yield, averaged for
the United States, has varied from
145 pounds of lint in 1871 to 224
pounds in 1914. The 10 year average
is 1872 pounds.
Egyptian yield of cotton averages
$50 pounds, about to the acre. Cotton
production in Egypt is limited to ir-
rigated acres along the Nile.
The area under cotton in India,
about 25,0O0,O00 acres, covers such a
wide climatic range that at many sea-
sons of the year planting and picking
are going on in different parts of the
country at the same time.
Cotton is grown in Asia as far
north as the latitude of Chicago.
There is now enough cotton in the
world, unspun, to last nearly two
years.
The Civil war was fought in the
cotton fields of the south, destroying,
temporarily, the means of supply.
The recent world war was fought in
the great factory districts of the
world.
There is now more cotton in the
stocks of any one-half a dozen cotton
markets in the south than was pro-
duced in all of the United States a
hundred years ago.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1921-03-10

More than three bales of cotton,
averaging 500 pounds in weight, have
been grown on a single acre in South
Carolina.
The estimated number of working
cotton spindles in the United States
is about 35,OOO,00O of which 49,
100000 are in cotton growing states.
The largest cotton crop ever plant
ed in the United States was 37,45S,-
900 acres in 1913, which yielded A.
156,456 bales, 500 pound equivalents
Of lint.
Americas greatest crop of cotton,
16,134,93O, bales was grown on 36,-
$4,000 acres.
The knowledge of cotton growing
wild in islands of the West Indies is
as old as the history of their discov-
cry by the Spaniards in 1892.
Arkwright, Hargraves and Cromp-
ton are geatest names connected
with invention of cotton spinning ma
chinery. They we're Englishmen.
Eli Whitney, an American, invent
ed the saw-gin. The original patent
was March IA, 1894.
On account of the labor invilved
in separating the line from the seed
by hand, cotton was of unknown COM
mercial Importance prior to the in
vention of Whitney's gin.

Hogg Versus Hogg.

Former Senator John W. Weeks, OF
Massachusetts, was lately recalling
to party of friends some of the hap
py days of the long ago in Washing
ton.
In those days, he said, there were
such things as bars; and his old
friend Hirtubus Hogg spent great
deal of his time on the fringe of these
oases.
One night, after an unusually long
sojourn near his favorite bar, Mr..
Hogg navigated painfully home and
at last found himself safe and sound
in his bedroom. Mrs. Hogg was wait
ing up for him.
"Hirtubus," she said, after a swift
appraisal of his condition, 81 am
ashamed of you-utterly ashamed.
You are Hogg by name and a hog
by nature.''
Eyes, m dear" replied the prodigai
meekly, "but even at that I have the
advantage over you.
"You are Hogg by name, but you
became a Hogg by choice"
