The biggest part Of corn land has
had to be replanted and to-day there
lis less seed in the ground in the
county than has ever been known at
this time of the year. This is the
9th day of May and the farmers
have never been confronted by so
many unsolvable problems in farm
ing operations. Wheat prospects
are anything but encouraging and
not more than half crop will be
produced. We have had so many
rains that it has been impossible
to plant corn, and farmers are
more than a month behind in their
work.
But old Christian has had several
successive years of plentous harvests,
the farmers, as a mass. have never
been as free from debt, and there
is not a county in the State better
prepared to run up against an unfav-
orable crop year than our own. One
off-year cannot ruin us, and if every
thing goes to the bad we can tide
over until 1908, when tobacco troubles
will have been done away with, land
will have had a rest, prices will be
higher, and a good crop year will
place us in better condition than
ever. 1t is only the pessimist who
can see direful results from present
conditions, but the hopeful can figure
it out daily that things might be
worse and we are merely having a
little set-back-we have been too
prosperous.
Since the article was written the
daily papers report that wheat prices
have been soaring skyward in Chica-
go and the loss in production, due to
cold weather, is estimated at 100, O00,-
600 bushels.
II our farmers should be fortunate
enough to harvest even half a crop
they will not be wise to let it go at
the opening of the market, though,
as arule, old farmers say it is best
to do so. A man remarked yester-
day that it ought not to require the
intervention of the Society of Equity
or any other society to hav
dollar wheat" this year.

Three farmers on the GAINESVILLE
