FARMING UNDER DIFFICULTY
Man with the Hoe Works with Rain
Pelting on His Back.
Mississippfans Say Crops Must BE
Cultivated or Abandoned,
Despite Showers.

Columbus, Miss. June 26-After a week
OF sunshine. inclement weather has re-
turned. and rain has fallen thirty-six
hours without cessation The farmers
took advantage OF the sunshine last week,
and got in some work in the fields. many
Of them having practically freed their
crops from grass.
They realize the fact that the time has
come when the crops must be either cul-
tivated or abandoned, and during the past
few days have been working regardless
Of the weather. It being no uncommon
sight TO see men chopping cotton and
hoeing corn with the rain pouring down
upon their heads.
The inclement weather has not only
retarded the cultivation Of crops, but
has practically prohibited all work OF
public roads Two years ago the
people Of Lowndes County voted a
special tax for the purpose OF keeping
up their public thoroughfares, and
competent men are employed to look
after the work.
Last year the roads throughout the
county were kept In good shape. but
there has been little opportunity for work
this spring on account OF the incessant
rains, and IN many places the roeds are
in a worse condition than usually pre-
walls during the fan and winter months.
