the cause of most peoples

Crop Prospects.


The county has been blest with splen-
did rains, every portion having beer ia
vored during the last thirty days. In
some sections, some little damage has
been noted, but very slight. The old
corn that appeared damaged by the
drought has come out wonderfully and
now promises fair yield. Young corr
is doing nicely with every prospect for
a large yield.
We have seldom had better prospects
for a cotton Ecrcp. The plant is we'll

has been cultivated we'll and was free
from grass. Since the rains a few
fields bave become foul with weeds, but
with a few days of sunshine this condi-
ton can be overcome.

cover a period of 20 years. They are
heid returns, which are always
smaller than returns from plats.
The period covered begins with 1891
ana ends with 1910. The average
yield OF red fife spring wheat for the
said period was 1895 bushels. The
average precipitation during the en-.
TIRE period was 1909 inches annually
ms, however, does not include the
snowfall, hence so far the record is
incomplete. But the snow fall at In
dlan Head is usually light.
In 1892 on a rainfall of 6.92 inches
the yield was 1920 bushels. In 1894
on a rainfall of 3.9 inches it was 17.5
bushels, and in 1899 on a rainfall of
3.44 inches the yield was 1920 bush.

wnat may be expected in dry areas OF
