A steady slow rain has been falling here for
the past fifteen hours, giving the ground
a thorough wetting. This will be plenty
i rain to make the corn yield from 40 to
go bushels per acre, and will push cotton
| far into the summer Most OF the small
| grain has been threshed and the yield is
very poor. Wheat Is averaging about 10
and oats about 20 bushels. In some places
neither crop is yielding one-half that
| amount.
