.BOUNT|FUL RAINS
INSURE CROPS
GENERAL RAINFALL OVER THE
COUNTRY MAKES CROP PROS
PECTS VERY FLATTER|NG.

Since six o'clock yesterday after
noon there has nearly am inch of
rain fallen in this section, and re-
ports from different places in the
county indicate that the rain has
been a general one. This practically
nsures the cotton crop which prom
iscs to be the largest grown IN this
section for many wears. The corn
tnat has been planted in the past
two weeks is growing nicely. pracu-
caly every farmer in the drouth sec
tion has planted another crop of
corn or other grains and plenty Of
feed will be made to supply the de
mands, the rains will also be of
great benefit TO the native grasses
and there will he plenty of prairie
hay. Three weeks ago the crop pros
poets in this section were very poor
but today you can not find more flat
tering prospects or better contend
ed lot of people.
