f..r 1 .653 tons, a deficiency of 11.

is a heavy drain, which suggests that
I ea vine hay and "th r hays should
be more extensively raised and saved

in hom gardens. with an acreage
shortage of 385. causing a loss of
-i 101.700.
In third place there is a deficiency
in the raising of oats of 150.866
bushels, costing a money loss of
$116,702. The oth r losses are small

In four crops the county obtains
surpluses, as follows:

433,800 bushels produced, 166,404
bushels surplus; $163,075 value of

Sweet Potatoes ? 14/271 bushels

32,088 bushels surplus; $33,379 val
ue of surplus.
Irish Potatoes ? 11,730 bushels r:

060 bushels surplus; $83,332 value
of surplus.
Beef and veal ? 611 head required;
2,201 head raised; 1.590 head sur
plur ; $75,360 valit; of surplus.
Cherokee has a surplus amount of
rye, producing 35,040 bushels at a
value of $47,758. This is a surplus
as the county docs not consume rye.
This item is not counted in the tabu
lation. Likewise, as consumption and
production of mutton and lamb is a
totnl of 302 animals each year, there
is no surplus or deficienmy for this
item. Again, although the farmers
? eceived $2,888 in 1929 for 11,550
nounds of tobacco, this^ is not tabu
lated, as it is one of the "money"
"rors. If the rye and tobacco crops
wer counted as surplus items, such
a total would reduce the conty's de
iciency by $50,646.
