The weather continues to be too
wet for the satisfaction OF the
planters, as the rains have fallen
at too frequent intervals to permit
the ground to dry out as much as
they would like to see 1t do. How
ever, plowing and planting is in
progress on quite a number Of plac-
es, and, with anything like q resp
ectable interval of dry weather,
this work will be general every
where. The wet weather has cer-
tainly done the seed cane no good,
but we are still without definite
reports of damage, and We trust
that it will all be found in good
condition when taken up aud plan
ted. There are many planters who
are strongly opposed to planting in
wet land under any circumstances
and these are patiently waiting fo1
the soil to dry before they will be-
gin this work. LA. Planter.
