Heavy Rains Stop Farm Work.

Tho heavy rains for the last ten
days have greatly retarded farm work.
The planting of corn and cotton has been
entirely stopped. If it should cease rain
ing now IL will be several DAYS before
the ground will be dry enough to plow.
We do not recall spring when farming
operations at planting time have been so
completely tied up. But in Alabama,
Nlississippi Louisiana and Texas the
floods have been much worse than in the
South Atlartic States, and it is highly
probable that the cotton acreage in those
States will be greatly reduced. In many
places great damage to property has been
wrought.
