 Fish for supper. I suppose" Dolf leaned against the trunk of tree, and looked disconsolately at Jerry, the man behind the frying pan.
 The question was answered by sar- donic grin and a significant glance to- ward Jack. who at this moment came from behind the tent
 Been doing scale work again." he said, tossing the corn-mealed fish into the pan.
 T am so sick of the sight. smell and taste of fish, I hope I may never catch another" growled Dolf. Cant we have something else?"
 If you will kindly produce anything else, will cook it. said Jerry.
 T will" declared the first speaker resoiutely. q will go now and buy some eggs"
 "I'd like to know where you'll buy them. Farms are few and far between in these parts. Bancroft's is the only place within three miles,"
 There's where am going"
 You'll have to hypnotize the dame then. She won't sell anything to campers or fishermen. She's been ap- preached in vain"
 Dolf undaunted, strode away through the woods toward Bancroft's, which was said to be the most pro- ductiye and best ordered farm in the county. The household consisted of father and daughter; the latter. 1t was said. ruled the ranch. Dolf had never seen her, but from her characteristics he had pictured her as lean, lank strenuous and lemon-visaged. He had a holy horror of sharp-tongued wo- men. and he secretly quailed at his daring in approaching her.
 ''Dolf never failed" said Jack, hope fully, but I hardly dare look for suc- cess--and eggs this time"
 However, Dolf appeared in due time and triumph. bringing 12 eggs.
 Four each" he announced.
 How did you persuade her, Dolf?" Didn't persuade her." was the re- ply. Just took them from the nests" "oh, say, Dolf." remonstrated Jack ''that wasn't right"

General Conditions.


 Rather cool. continued wet weather made the week, as a whole, unfavora- ble for cotton and maturing corn; the rainfall was heavy over the greater portion of the State, and excessive in some southern and middle counties; in some central counties, considerable lowland corn and cotton were damaged by overflow. Continued wet weather has caused cotton to deteriorate con sderably, especially in middle and southern counties, where rust and rot are prevalent, and where shedding Is becoming serious; in many fields full grown bolls are dropping, and in some places the plants are yellowing and shedding leaves; in some northern and western counties. the crop continues to fruit satisfactorily. but over the State. as a whole, the condition of the crop has been lowered somewhat during the past two weeks; bolls are opening slowly and very little has been picked. While corn has been damaged slightly in some fields by continued wet wealth CT, very good yield of corn seems as- sured; some early corn has been gath cred in southern counties. Fodder pulling has been retarded by wet weather, which has damaged some of this forage. All minor crops continue promising; some early sweet potatoes and ground peas are being gathered, with good yield; sorghum and hay are generally promising. though dry wealth CT is needed for saving these crops. Pears are yielding well, though this fruit and grapes are still rotting from excessive moisture. More turnips have been sown, with much of tho early sown up to good stands.
