Cron Conditions Good

The rains of the past week or ten days
have not damaged the prospects of a good
cotton crop in central Alabama, except
in few sections. Reports from all parts
OF central Alabama are that the cotton
condition is good and IL the rains will
stop for a few days now the crop will
continue in good shape. The rains have
caused the grass to grow very rapidly
IN the fields. but whenever the weather
will permit the grass is being killed as
fast as possible. The corn crop through
out this section is also good and is con-
sidered the best ever raised. With condi-
tons fair the yield will be large, and
with a good cotton crop the farmers of
central Alabama will be in a better con-
dition than they have been for years
past.

Cotton Oil mill here has demonstra ted
that he is a good farmer. To the rear
of the oil mill there is two acres o.
land which Mr.. Manner had planted in
corn. The stalks were planted about six
feet apart and on each stalk the entire
two acres will average five ears of corn.
Between the corn peas were planted AMI
two splendid crops are being raised. The
Weld of corn will be at least IS bushels
to the acre and If it had been planted
closer together the yield would have been
still greater About so bushels of peas
to the acre will also be gathered from
the two acres under cultivation.
