Thrifty Town. Reported
for the Columns of The
Gazette.
With the exception of a few
days of very hot weather, the past
few weeks have been pleasant and
cool. Crops, in general, are in ex-
cellent condition and cotton espe-
cially could not be better; corn is
much better than at first expected.
Patatoes and vegetables are fair.
1T is indeed discouraging to
know that cotton, our main product,
must again be sacrificed this fail.
Surely, after the ga crop will be
gwen (not sold) away, our farmers
should then be convinced, that
nothing but starvation faces them,
should they continue to raise that
fallen staple. Why not resort to
truck farming7 Corn, potatoes,
rice, hay, pumpkins, vegetables,
in fact, any and every other pro-
duct but cotton.-Try truck farming,
and you will see, that more money
and less labor will be the result.
