aging.

Guntersville. July 5.-(SpeeiaL) 1.-The
crop condition of Marshall county as a
whole is more favorable now than at
any time during the season. Owing to
the incessant rain it was thought at one
time that they would be total failure,
but week of sunshine has wrought
marvellous change. Crops in the lowlands
especially in river bottom lands. will
necessarily be late and short, due to the
repeated back waters from the Tennessee
river, but those crops on higher land that
have been struggling for so long against
the rank growth of grass and weeds in
the majority of cases, have been rescued
from what appeared to be an almost hope
less condition
Statements from farmers from different
parts of the county all, with few excep-
tons, go to show how much brighter the
prospects now are.
w. G. Jordan. one of the largest plant
ers of the county, who planted this year
for 1900 bushels of corn and rs bales of
cotton, has probably suffered greater pro-
portionate loss than any other planter of
the county. He states that he could not
reasonably expect more than 5000 bushels
of corn, nor more than % bales of cotton.
His is an exceptional case, however, his
crops being largely in river bottom lands.
ID. M. Segler of Gunters mountain says
that the farmers who have made good
use of the sunshine have rescued the bulk
of their cotton with sufficient corn, with
favorable seasons. to supply their wants
James Culbert of near Meltonsville states
that corn planted in low lands Is drowned
out, that on higher land it looks fairly
we'll and that cotton is being cleaned as
fast as men can work.
Allen Hopper, who cultivates corn land
bordering this place, states that he Is ex-
erting every effort to rescue his crop
from the weeds.
W. H. johnson of Big Spring Valley
says that his crop. with favorable wealth
er. would now make at least two-thirds of
his first expectations.
w. H. Stearnes of North says that,
while some of the crops will be lost in
his section, the farmers We're making
great efforts during the sunshine and
that the war against General Green IS
the great feature Of the day.
These men are from widely separat ted
sections of the county and their state
ments, compared with the general opinion
of 10 days ago, is quite assuring.
