the former, by his influence, Is By
far the greatest menace.
Returning to the question of TAX

Fear of the Hot Sun

There is much fear that the hot sun.
which Is now coming out, will have bad
effect on the cotton crop. The writer
took a trip into parts of Montgomery,
Gilmore and Macon counties on Sunday
and found that there is an awful lot of
grass, with many yellow leaves, indicat-
ing that the plant is beginning to shed.
Reports to the Alabama department Of
agriculture show that black root is too
common In some OF the lower counties
and that the yellow stalk is an indica-
ton of too much water. The corn how
ever. Is all good. Some of the best ever
known can be seen about Montgomery,
and men who come from other parts of
the country say that 1t is so all over the
state. A great crop of that grain is now
assured.
