Thd crop conditions have change foi
the better In the past two weeks. The
cotton is q better stand than was
thought would be the case. The corn
is doing we'll, about the only to regret
is that there was not large area plant
ed of this very important crop. II
now seems as if it would be good sound
sense upon the part of the planters to
quit trying to raise wheat, as q paying
crop of it has not been raised In this
section for several years, and for them
to give more care and attention to the
raising of corn and oats, as In the way
of grains, as they give much larger re-
turns for the labor and fertilizer given
them than wheat does. The wheat is
almost an entire failure, the most Of II
has been or will be cut for food.
