"Our correspondent from Americas
sounds the praises of the school he has
now attended for the past four years
the Third District Agricultural
school. Having been in school there
for four years he ought to know some
thing about it, and his article in this
paper tells few important things.
"This paper has sounded the praises
of this school all the while. We dc
not know how much our efforts, Incl
dentally exerted, have helped in this
direction: but, the fact remains that
Crisp county leads all the other coun-
ties in the district, the home county
of Sumter not excepted, in point Of
numbers in attendance upon this
school"
Working Their Way Through School
''The very first two boys from Crisp
were Messrs. j. w. and ]. D. Spires.
Their friends know them as John and
jim. J. w (John) Spires is the CORE
spondent referred to herein, and we
will guarantee anything John and jim
Spires say about anything. They have
practically worked their way through
school, and worked hard in taking adj
vantage of the money provided by
their own efforts. They are not really
boys any longer, but grown young
men,"
In Love With the School.
THE writer of our article referred
to-John-it will be noted, is very
much in love with the school he writes
about. He feels this way about it, be-
cause it has done so much for him, and
because he can now realize fully the
advantages that the school holds out
for others, and wants them to know
about it. This is natural, and that his
earnestness is shown in this article is
not the least surprising"

COTTON CROP IN BAD WAY
HOT WINDS AND LACK OF RAIN
ARE EAST running 1T.
Young Cotton Must Have Rain
Right Away or Fail.

Right Away or Fail.
Following the rains two weeks ago
the farmers of this section were very
optimistic regarding the condition of
the cotton, corn and the smaller
crops, but the extreme heat, accom-
panied by the hot winds which have
been experienced since that time,
have changed the cry of good crops
to one of fear that the expected har-
vest will fall far short of what it
was last year.
At this writing Thursday crops
on all sides are suffering injury, and
it is stated by several of the most
prominent farmers and owners of
large plantations around Dawson
that unless rains fall soon the pres
ent prospect of the crops will fall 25
per cent short of what it is now.
What the heat is not doing the wind
which is accompanying it is almost
finishing up. Some of the young
cotton has the appearance of having
had hot water poured upon it.
The old cotton has stopped grow
ing and making new cotton, and it
will be impossible for it to make
large crop.
The late cotton, that is cotton
which was planted after the first
drought of the year, is in a bad con-
dition. The rains which followed the
planting brought the stalk out, but
this weather of the last two weeks
is about to kill it. The hope of a
large crop from the young cotton is
about gone unless it rains in the next
few days.
While it would appear that the
crops of this section are not as prom
Using as they were there are parts of
the country where they are in worse
condition than here, while in still
other parts the condition is better
than usual, and so it appears that
the average taken from the whole
country should break about even.
The real outcome of the 1913 fall
cotton, corn and smaller crops will
depend largely on the weather in the
next two weeks. The hot winds and
scorching weather, without any rain,
will ruin them, while little rain will
bring them back to a more or less
normal condition. Anyway, it is to
be thankful that Georgia is not Kan
sas or Oklahoma, and not to have ex-
perienced their weather conditions of
the last three weeks, which have been
the worst in the memory of many of
the citizens of the two states.

dollars crop moving fund will be
made in the Southern states in Au-

all states will be made in two equal

will be payable on demand without
any previous notice. However, it is
expected twenty-five per cent of the
amount deposited will be returned
