Her praise have been sung in every agricuturai weekly and her performance computed in latorious government reports.

 Since the freeze a few days ago, many are planting corn over, fearing to risk the frost bitten that had pre- viously come up.

 A good many have planted cotton. A freeze-out is feared, and as seed is scarce and high, some are waiting for the ground to warm up before plant ing all their cotton.
 The fruit crop is not all killed, but no doubt fruit will taste good to many in it's season.
