From field Until Gathering Time.

| Just what we need and besides it is
the time OF the year for old man Sol
| TO beam down upon us his most radi-
ant smiles. The farmers are nearly
Sp with their work and they are not
sorry either, and especially the young
fellows who want TO have a little
time to go sparkling and talk busi-
ness to their best girls Cotton looks
better and better all the time, that
is the stalk part does, but the boil
worm is here and don't you forget
it. and what the final result is going
TO be remains 10 be seen. June corn
is looking well and promises fair.
| Cotton needs no rain, so the farmers
| tell me, but just wants the hot sun
shine for a few more weeks to make
| 1t form and to cause the worms to
| quit; though June corn could take a
| shower with profit
! Last Tuesday morning I wended
my way toward FCrreston | started
| there once before but was rained out.
About three miles this side of there
| saw my old teacher friend Fred
| Wilson blowing in his cotton He
| was just finishing up fine piece
and told me TO go up 10 the house
| and get dinner. | went and was
welcomed by his pleasant wife and
a big baby boy That boy is a buster
and you can hear him hollow a mile
Soon after I got there he got on the
rampage and | had TO take him and
walk him while his mother finished
| dinner Fred is a nephew of Tom
Graves and taught school at Red
/ Oak the same time | taught AT Rock
EFT and we knew each other there
He has quit teaching forever and a
| day, and don't blame him for his
crop is fine and he is making money.
