FARM NOTES HERE N THERE.
News is scarce along route No. 3 as every.
body is busy Farmers are busting to head
Off the grass, which we dare say II properly
cultivated would be worth more than the
Some are running the "weeder'' crosswise
over the cotton rows, others are using the
'harrow," while others are running astride
the rows with q cultivator, and some nave
pressed in a flock Of geese to DO their part
towards exterminatiug the grass.
Wheat and oats are heading out and just
now look very promising.
r.Melon and sweet potatoe plants are grow
ing OF nicely.
Corn looks we'll and is growing rapidly, that
which was killed down TO the ground by the
freeze is now green and fourishing and about
knee high. .
Some Of the farmers think the acreage OF
the cotton crop will be greatly reduced by
General Green" who is now manouyertng
over the field.
We never saw such extravaganza as is
shown In the planting of the present cotton
crop, and believe If the surplus seed that have
been wasted In planting had been saved and
sold, they would have paid OF the greater
part, II not the entire amount for hoeing the
crop. =.
Cotton Is now being chopped out TO a stand
and is growing nicely.
r.. Everything on the farm looks we'll and the
farmers so far SHOULD feel very grateful 10
