MORE RAIN, MORE REST ! MORE RAIN, MORE
GRASS!
These are interludes OF the farmers just now
between showers the first Ia q joyful song ol
the lazy Indifferent farmer, while the last Is 81
pitiful refrain OF the wide awake, industrious
farmer who has no time for rest, but Is ever
anxious about his crop and can't rest for
wanting to "wade into the grass.
From appearances 1t seems that some OF the
farmers along Route No. 8 are trying 10 raise
cotton and bay together, and we think fifth.
rains continue q few more days the hay
would prove the most profted crop of the
two.
The grass has already reduced the cotton
acreage OF one farmer 10 acres which has been
p%loughed up and sown In peas and we expect
this will be lone by others and perhaps that
too without any peas.
The farmers are having a hard pull just
now, but are comforted by the thought, that
every cloud has q silver lining, a few weeks
OF sunshine and all will be we'll.
The recent rains while against the cotton
crop have made many baskets OF wheat and
oats, that without them would never have
been cut down.
