The cry Of excessive rainfall,
drowned crops, grassy crops,
washed lands, comes from every
section of the county. The un-
favorable conditions are enough
to cause our people to be down
cast. However, let US not be dis
couraged. Owing to thu very Won
derful recuperative powers of COT
ton, there is yet time for a good
average crop to be made. In years
gone by it bas been the case that
everything was favorable at this
eason for tremendous yield and
the crop was cut shert during the
latter part Of July aad August.
Let us hope that, while conditions
are all anfavorable now, heavy
crop of fruit will bo taken on.
during the latter part of this
month, and in August. There is
really no telling what crop Of
cotton will yield until it has been
picked and housed.
