teen Years.

White Oak July 20.-rThe principal
crops in Bladen are cotton and corn.
In some localities both are better than
/ have seen in fifteen years; in others
it is not so good. The average in the
county is better than usual. The dam

little, much more damage being done
in the past few days by too much rain

COUNTY.
With Exception of Cotton Outlook
Does Not Indicate an Average Yield.

Winton, July 20.
In reply to our request, | can only
say the crops in Hartford county do
not at this time promise ar average
yield, except perhaps cotton. In some
parts of the county the long drought
almost ruined the crops. Old corn es-
pecially. Corn. cotton and peanuts
are the principal crops grown in Hert-
ford. In some sections the drought
was not so long and the crops look bet
ter, and in some sections there has not
been enough rain at this writing to wet
the roots. while ether sections ave
had plenty.
