CROP REPORTING SERVICE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICL LTL'RE
KALEIGII, N. t.
L ,
I (Released)
111 spite of the adverse wet and dry
texrtenues experienced here this year,
we have already reached the goal
ahead of last year in several crops and
sure to get tore wit others.
CORN:
Corn at 80 per cent of a full crop is
better than last year, excepting 111 cer
tain drowned-out areas of eastern and
in excessively dry parts of central sec
tions.
COTTON:
The large increase of 12 per cent in
tlie acerage of cotton to be picked this
year over a year ago doesn't net near
lythe production -730,000 bales, made
last year-776,000, but the average
price is better, it having increased,
whereas it decreased duiing the pie
vious season. The 218 pounds this
year mean a decrease of perhaps 25
per cent in te per-acre yield, but fif
teen per cent increase 111 total value
at 21 cents over 16.4 cents last season.
This means, too, that the per-acre val
ue may bo $45.75 as compared with
$43.29 tlie previous season. Of the cot
ton states, North Carolina leads in the
per-acre yield and value. She also has
the .most cotton mills. It i£ reported
that 43 per cent of the mills in te 14
Southern states are hers.
TOBACCO
An nicrease of If! per cent in the to
bacco acerage, and a slight increase ol
yield, at 007 pounds per acie, insures
an increased production of about 22
percent. The average prices 011 the
auction markets are not yet equal to
those of last year. The total value ol
the crop is less than 2 per cent more.
The \ alue-per-acre is $152.30, based on
the pjesent information available. This
tis over two per cent les tan it wai
lust season.
SWEET POTATOES
The acerage of sweet potatoes was
increased four per cent, as well an the
yield. The price has declined rapidlyy
and an over-supply is reacing many
markets. The Southern sweet potato
is not "appreciated in te Nort because
they do not know how to cook them.
As with the prunes and raisins, the de
mand must be created. At 75 cents
per bushel, tho aveiuge acre of 106
bushels will he worth $79.35 thin yyear
if sold.
PEANUTS
As the digging of peanuts is just be
gun and the previous weather was so
unfavorable in the commercial liort
easlern counties, it is difficult to es
timate the results. The acerage was
reduced; the yield expected will be
perhaps nearly 900 pounds per acre
giving approximately 115,000,000 lbs.
production, which, at' 90 pounds, will
give 1,280,000 bags in this state if all
are marketed. There is quite a large
acerage that is not picked and not
counted in tho above.
FOUND DEAD IN DITCH
Mr. Simon H.Cowan was found dead
in a ditch on his farm near Bear Grass
Church last Friday. Mr. Cowan was
forty-seven years old and hail never
married and lived alone on his farm.
For some tinje-fie hud l»een having fits
occasionally. He was seen by a neigh
bor at three o'clock Wednesday water
ing his stock at his lot and nothing
.more was seen of him until Friday
morning his people became alarmed at
not seeing him getting around as was
his usual custom and,made search for
him. They went to his home and not
finding him there they began search
ing around the farm and" they soon
found hinn dead in a ditch and his body
almost covered by water, lie very
probably had a fit and fell in the ditch
and in the absence of help drowned.
He was buried Friday afternoon.
The funeral sen-ices were conducted
by Elder John N. Rogerson. Mr Cow
ing was the son of John and Cashie
Cowing and was one of eight children
all of whom have preceded him to the
grave except Hywian D., Dannie C.,
and John W. Cowing.
