county a part Of the state highway
system. A discussion of highway
system. A discussion of a highway
that would connect Cheraw, S. c.,
and Athens, Ga, via Calhoun Falls,

way which Augusta, Mccormick
and Calhoun Fails and Anderson
Hope will be built sometime in the
near future, connecting these towns
and providing an outlet for the rural
communities surrounding the many
small towns along the proposed
route. -,

AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS

Farm production this year will
fall 10 per cent below the record
made last season. The important GER
Gals return to the average yield OF
previous years. This is one Of the
few summers Of high temperatures
in which the crops passed safely
through the mid-season Of July with
out very serious impairment. The
heat has been equal to that ct 1880
and 1901, when crops were dried up.
The saving feature Of this twenty
year recurrent heat cycle has been
the number Of rains not general. but
scattered as to time, and in the main
covering the important part Of the
grain growing area.
The bumper crops Of last season
were not all consumed, except wheat,
which made q record IN the eXp1rta-
tation to Europe.
The crops gathered and indicated,
with the large carTyover, Will furnish
the country with supply equal to its
needs and with a margin for eX-
port to the countries which have been
less favored.
Food and feed acreage Of the coun-
try this year is not less than last
wear: tits more! The courageous
farmer faced the future with q NIL
lion more acres than the previous
season. The compilation Of the gov
ernment's estimated acreage OF the
grains, vegetables, forage, seeds, IS
3l2,lO9,000; last year the final cS-
innate was 3ll,079,000.
Successive hot waves have been
sweeping over the country since early
June, not only in this hemisphere
but in Europe. This country has been
more fortunate than England and thu
continental countries. There the heat
has been relieved only recently BY
rains. Much Of the grains, forage and
vegetables have been badly hurt, and
yields greatly reduced. This country
has had peculiar run Of showers.
The rains at times covered wide areas
but were never general, except in the
cotton states, and there only recent
~. The showers have been suiiiclen
to save the crops from a great disaT
ter. In fact damage by heat has u
been great factor, being. confined
to an area between the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers, and covering Min
nesota, the Dakotas and Montana.
