having more rain, and it needs the
moisturs, too. 1t does seem that the
last few days rain, both drizzle and
soaking downpour, have saved the
late crops and helped things greatly.
All tomatoes now avilaable are cart
ed off to the canneries. The tomat o
crop is large this year; some are
large and fine, while others are not of
size and not so good in color. Corn
cutting is in order now, although a
little early. Farmers were obliged to
cut corn this year to save the fodder
or it would have burned up in the hot
suns.
In many places in this section the
corn is quite green yet, while in other
parts it is very dry. Cow peas and
alfafa, also clover are coming up fine.

this very fine speaker and to ask
any questions that they wish to
know as to how to make a success
of dairying. All are welcome; new
corners also.
