Crop Estimates for South Carolina.

Saluda, June 9.-According to re-
port of B. B. Hare, agricultural statis-
tician in charge of the crop report
ing service in South Carolina for the
Bureau of Crop Estimates of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, the following estimates are not
ed which show the condition of the
following crops on June 1st:
Wheat 80 per cent. of normal; oats
81; alfalfa 81; hay S5; cowpeas SO;
rye sc; cabbages go; onions 81;
peaches So; pears 60; apples IS; wa
termelons rs and caataloupes 70.
The report shows that the CONNER
cial acreage planted to watermelons
this season will approximate 11,OOO
acres, cantaloupes 1,200 and cucum-
1,5OO. Barnwell county appears to
have the largest acreage of each OF
these crops, and Blackvilfe is one OF
the largest, if not the largest, ship
ping point. Other shipping points %or
melons are as loflows:
Barnwell, Lena, Furman. Allendale,
Cave, Kline, Denmark, Ulmer, Scotia,
Sycamore, Fairfax, Estill, Luray, Bar
ton, Dunbarton, Hattiesville, Baldock,
Appleton, Hilda, Olar, and Tillman.
The indicated production of wheat
in the state is 1,S4S,0O0 bushels,
against 1,7S5,OOO bushels last year.
The acreage of oats is shown to be
455, 700 acres, or per cent. more than
last year. The condition of "a per
cent. forecasts production of 10,4S1,-
900 bushels, or $4,000 bushels more
than in 1920.
Peaches in central and western
counties were seriously injured by
frosts in April, while in the eastern
part of the state, especially Chester

field county, condition and yields are
more satisfactory. Apples and pears
did not suffer so much from late
frosts as peaches though considerable
injury is now being reported on ac-
count of blight.
During the early part of May rain
fall was abundant and farm work was
delayed to a considerable extent. Dur
a greater portion of the month nights
were too cool and crop growth gen.
orally was very poor, except the last
week of the crop reporting period
when there was a seasonable growth
and development Of all crops.

MUST IMPROVE CONDITIONS.
flaming Should Be Made More At
tractive and Profitable.

The chief factor in making agricul-
ture permanent is that the social, ed
acational, recreational, and business
opportunities shall equal those of the
city or town Farming must become
sufficiently profitable that the far
mer can reasonably expect TO amass
as mach wealth as his fellows in the
city. If this opportunity does not
exist the number of farmers will con-
tinue to decrease and the type of men
left in this industry will not equal
those that have brought the American
farmer to his present higa status OF
loading the globe from the standpoint
of per capita output. Progressive
evolution in agriculture probably
means that the unit of production
must develop sufficiently to make a
specialization in labor possible that
will compare favorably with that OF
other industries.
The farmers life offers the great
est opportunity for expression If in
dividuality that exists in any VEGA
tion. Matters of personality, OF etfl-
cheney, and of organizing and busi-
ness ability are more directly express
ed in the returns he receives and IN
the direct of accomplishment he ex-
periences than in any other line OF
endeavor. The man who is alert,
quick, wide-awake and observant, is
more completely appreciated than in
any other industry, for he must dis
cover his needs and gain his rewards
through close association with each
of the manifold phases of nature.
There is no one. to tell him the things
to do except himself, and his direct
measure of his own results are the
chiefest of his rewards.
Nevertheless many improvements in
the housing and social conditions of
the farm must take place. The stand
ards of the city with its home con-
vcniences and labor saving devices
must be made available to tie house
wife and her family. Their need for
companionship must be met by i'm
proved social conditions.
The war developed a very fallacious
aurgument in many branches of in
dustry through the assurance of cost
of production plus certain profit on
government war contracts. 1t has
given many industries, not excluding
farming, the idea that they are en-
titled to a profit on everything they
do regardless of their efficiency or the
demand for their product. The old
economic fact that profits do not come
unless a demand for products exist

A most important factor for sue
cess under boil weevil conditions is
hard and intelligent work. The slip
shod farmer will be out of business
in few years and only those who
work hard and use intelligent meth
DDS will remain. In all crops only va
rieties of proved adaptability to the
section and those which make prod
uct of the highest money value as
well as of good production per acre
should be used.
The year 1921 has been more IA
vorable for the boil weevil than any
since he entered the belt in 1892.
Consequently he has done more dam
age than ever before. His damage
next year and succeeding years will
depend on weather conditions and the
intelligence and industry used in
fighting him.
We urge all our citizens to CO.
operate to carry this message to
every farmer and farm tenant in the
state. Unless the main features of the
above program are generally adopt
ed the whole state will suffer.
Last but not least call on the ex-
tension agents and Clemson college
to help in every problem.

Sand Hill Region.

The cotton acreage here may be
regulated according to the available
labor to take care Of cultivating, Wee
vii control and prompt gathering. In
no case, however, should more than 5
per cent be put into cotton and to-
bacco together. A liberal acreage
should go into corn and velvet beans.
Hogs should be carried on every farm
and cattle where possible. Sorghum,
peas, sweet potatoes and in some
cases peanuts should be planted.
Piedmont Region.
Cotton production in this section is
safer than in the lower sections and
will continue to be profitable on av-
erage years, provided due care is ex-
ercised in meeting weevil conditions.
The acreage should be strictly limit
ed to an amount which can be per-
fectly handled by the available labor.
Ample foodstuffs, including corn,
peas, velvet beans, potatoes, sorghum,
wheat, oats, etc., should be grown.
A suggested division of acreage for
a 80 acre farm has been made By one
of the most successful planters in the
Piedmont and may be found useful'
although of course it should be modl-
fed to meet individual neees. Ten
acres of cotton, six acres OF corn
with peas or velvet beans, eight acres
in wheat and oats, followed by pea
vines, beans and Lookout Mountain
potatoes, one acre of sweet potatoes,
two acres of alfalfa, three acres OF
sorghum-total 80 acres. An ample
number of hogs and few cattle
should be carried on this farm and
for these a permanent Bermuda pas
turage should be provided. 1t would
be well to increase the percentage OF
corn on farm of this size unless the
land is very fertile. Thirty acres is
usually an awkward size for a farm
as it is too large for one horse and
not enough for two. The relative pro-
portion of different crops, however,
may be observed, no matter what the
size of the farm unit:

age is limited and due care exercised
the chances are in favor of fair
yield during most seasons. A rotation
suggested for 80 acre farm (of

and velvet beans (or peas or soy

No human being ever could pass

Utterly wretched, Sindbad sank
down on stone. when new
thought occurred to him.
Have | not heard my wife say
that among her perfumes there
was one whose fragrance caused
any creature to sink into sweetest
sleep? And were not her perfumes
buried with us?"
Hastily, Sindbad made his way
back to the entrance where he
found the perfumes. Then, wrap
ping his scarf about his face to
keep from breathing the powerful
odor. Sindbad again came to the
serpents and drenched the air with
the fragrant drug. At once the SER
penis sank down in motionless
sleep.
AS the fortunate Sindbad stepped
over the serpents, the light against
the walls of the cave fairly daz-
zled him and he exclaimed. How
these walls glitter! Why, they are
of rubies, and the floor is of dia-

three months when the incident l
am about TO relate happened.
On this farm were large barns
where the blooded horses and bulls
were housed at light, each in his
own stall, and over all were great
hay mows where the hay and feed
for them were kept.
Billy was fastened in one OF
these stalls every night. because
previous to this he had eaten all
the blossoms off the lemon tree,
which was the pride Of the mis-
tress; chewed the bosom out of his
masters dress shirts for the starch
that was in them; nibbled the trail
ing vines off the hanging baskets
on the front veranda; and chewed
the sleeve out Of the cooks new
red calico wrapper that was hang
ing on line outside to dry. Stubby,
however, was allowed to rove
around at will, but he always pre-
ferred to be locked up with Billy,
as it was so lonesome when left
alone outside.
AS luck would have 1t, on the
night of the fire he preferred to
remain outside to gnaw on some
bones he had hidden and to have
talk with little hairless Chihua-
hua dog that lived on the farm. Had
it not been for this, Billy might
have been burned to death and this
story brought to an untimely and
besides Stubby would have lost the
chance of making himself a hero.

Billy Jr.'s surmise about the In
dians' feast proved to be the case
and after the Indians had eaten
their fill. they rolled themselves in
their blankets and went to sleep.
Billy and Stubby sneaked about
and found the dogs at the feast. At
first these dogs were going to pro-
test. but Billy called to them, "The
first one of you that yelps or OBJ
jects to our helping ourselves | will
rip open with my horns" AS he
looked big and fierce enough to
carry out this threat, they thought
he meant what he said and so let
him and Stubby alone and fell to
eating in silence.
Now, go ahead, Stubby, and eat
your fill, while l wander around
and see if / can't find some sweet
herbs, for the squaws generally
have lot hanging outside of their
wigwams drying, along with sweet
grass and onions. Oh, the very
thought of onions makes my mouth
water! so goodbye for while, but

signal by three short barks."

were delighted to find a large
black goat and small, little vel
low dog. They camped here for

their wares. Billy and Stubby
stayed with them until they passed
the stock farm and then they left,
made friends with the people on
the farm, and became a fixture
there for some time.

zDyszko Wins TWO out Of Three Falls
with American Challenger.

worlds heavyweight wrestling champion
snip at Madison Square Garden tonight,
defeating I'D. (Strangler) Lewis, former
" OF Lexington. Ky, and now Of San
Jose, Calf. Zbyszko won two out OF
three falls.
Lewis obtained the first fall with a
flying head lock after II minutes and
81 seconds. The second. so-ealled roll
ing fan, went to Zbyszko after p minutes
and &c seconds. This fall was called
when Lewis, in escaping from half
Nelson and crotch hold, permitted his
shoulders to strike the mat Lewis pro-
tested the referees decision and left the
ring, but was induced by members Of the
state athletic commission to continue.
The champion won the third fall and
match with a double arm lock in IA min
utes and Sc seconds.
The referees decision in giving Zbys-
zko the second fan was loudly jeered by
a mrge body Of spectators.
Tonight's victory was the nine hundred
and fortieth for the champion in his %
years or professional competition. He was
defeated only once, the late Frank Gotch
vanuuished him in match that lasted
but six seconds.
