With Our Farmers.

There Is a generally comfortable
feeling with the farmers this week.
The weather has been favorable
to nearly all crops and harvesting
has been going on almost unin-
teruptedly. The worms in cotton
fields and the low market for rice
has been depressing to many, but
the general tone is good.
Florian Fortier, on his model
farm three miles south of Jcancr-
cite, has very satisfactory crop
this year. His 40 acres Of plant
cane promises a yield of about 20
tons per acre. He has 40 acres OF
stubbIe that should yield - tons.
Besides his cane, he has II acres
in cotton and 40 acres more Ill
corn, both doing well above the
average.
