According. to the Horry Herald tome tobacco farmers in that county have cleared this year over onu housand dollars on their tobacco rops grown on farms ranging from wo to four acres. In addition, the lame farmers have made good fool rops, have money in the banks and nough besides to keep them going omfortably without drawing on heir reserve. Commenting on this statement of The Herald, the Pich ns Sentinel says: "There are many small pa.cne. ot obacco grown throughout , Pickens ounty for home use. County Agent 3owon says It could be profitably ,rown in this county on a commer ial scale." Why not? If tobacco can be ,rown in Pickens county and in ther counties in this great Pied nont Belt "for home use," and a uperior quality of we d at that, here is no reason why, as Mr. 3owen has said, tobacco could not e cultivated here as a commercial rep .

Moore experi monted with growing tobacco as a commercial crop about thirty years ggo but without encouraging results and that sinc . his experinent little, or no interest had been taken in growing the weed in Spartanburg county as a money-crop. But that is not like Spartanburg. There are men still living in this county, who will recollect when the cultivation of cotton was not particularly promis ing in Spartanburg. The United States Census of 18i0 showed that in the Piedrmont Region of South Carolina, embracing thQ I eleven counties as they were then known of Abbeville, Anderson, Chester, Edgefield, Fairfield, Green ville, Lancaster, Laurens, Newberry Spartanburg and York--'748,510 acres of land were planted in cotton on which only 274,318 bales were 'produced. It would not be regarded nowadays, even with the bdll Weevil at his worst, as very good farming for the farmer of usual intelligence and industry in this part of the Pied mont Region to make only about one-third of a bale to the are.

It might be, we think it would be, practicable for Spartan "burg to be one of the largest to bacco-growing counties in the United States. Why not? In its last number the Mullins En terprise printed a very interesting story about growing tobacco as a commercial crop in this State. "Up to September 1, the auction tobacco warehouses of South Carolna an:l, the markets of Fairmnot, Whiteville and Fair Bluff, avhich are in what is known as the South Carow, bacco Belt, had sold 26,555,628 pounds of tobacco." "McFarland," a. person evidently of note in tobacco circles, predicted early in August that the auction houses would sell this season in the South Carolina Belt forty-two million pounds of the finest tobacco in the world if the farmers would go about the busi ness in earnest, and any crop that would 1Ti four milion dollars in I cash to the men who made it would be worth while as "a commercial crop."
