Saluda S. c., June 3.-According to
report of 8. 3. Hare, Agricultural
Statisticjan in charge Of the crop re-
porting service in South Carolina fol
the Bureau of Crop Estimates Of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture. the following estimates are noted
which show the condition OF the fol-
lowing crops on June l:
Wheat 80 per cent Of normal; Oats
81; alfalfa 81: hay S5; cowpeas So:
rye Sc; cabbages 90; onions 81:
peaches 81; pears 60; apples 65:
wa.ermeions rs and cantaloupes 20.
The report shows that the CONNER
cia1 acreage planted to watermelons
this season will approximate 1900
acres, cantaloupes 1900 and cucum-
bers 1900. Barnwell county appears
to have the largest acreage of each OF
these crops, and Blackville is one Of
the largst, if no. the largest. shipping
point. Other shipping points for mel
ons are as follows:
Barnwell. Lena. Furrlan, Allendale
Cave, Kline. Denmark. Timer, Scotia.
Sycamore. Fairfax, Estill. Luray, Bar
ton, Dunbarton> Hattievilie, Bladock.
Appleton, Hilda, Olar, and Tillman.
The indicated production OF wheat
in the states is 1.84S.000 bushels
against 1.7S5. 900 bushels last year.
The acreage of oats is shown to be
455,7o0 acres, or per cent more than
last year. The condition Of "a per
cent forecasts production Of TO-
$4,000 bushels, or $4,000 bushels
more than in 1920.
Peaches in central and western
countries were seriously injured bj
fros:s in April, while in the eastern
part OF the state. especially Chester
field county, conditions 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 account OF
blight.
During the early part Of May rain
fall was abundant and farm work
was delayed to a considerable extent
During a greater portion Of the month
nights were too cool and crop growth
generally was very poor, except the
last week OF the crop reporting period
when there was seasonal growth and
development OF all crops.
