Parkton. Sept. %. - This
is the busiets time OF the
wear with the farmers. cotton
picking and hay harvesting. The
cotton crop will be shorter than
was once expected. ;,
This is the time that all farm
ers should upset every cocklebur
in their fields and try to get ria
of the greatest nuisance OF the
farm. Some people contend they
improve land. but this IS a ser
jous mistake. Late blowing, is
necessary to prevent them. out
the majority of farmers OF this
section do not believe in late
blowing, judging from the hay
in their cotton patches. ,,
Cotton pickers are a httle
scarce, but the gins seem to be
very busy. O |
