field on Saturday and reported the
crops in the hail stricken district

will be is purely copjectural, even
NOR, so than the older. uninjured
crops. Mr. r.iiBrunson says some per-
SOUS advised that the damaged
crops be lett, that they would re-
cover and make good yields. He
and others did not think that way,
and time has proven their heads
to be the longest-their judgment
the best.
just to see what The result
would be, one of Mr.. Brunson's
neighbors left three rows of the
damaged cotton in a field and not
more than three or four stalks on
the entire three rows lived. Sup
pose, then, farmers of that section
bad awaited developments and de-
pended upon the damaged crops,
they would now have practically
no cotton and corn at all. With a
late fall the hail-stricken farmers
will yet make good crops. Let us
hope that Jack Frost will put in
his appearance late, very late.
