There has been nothing like the

the past six weeks that people in Co

Judge the whole county by local con
ditions have been lead to believe. .
This statement was made this morn

Mr.. Fraser stated that in some por-
tions of the county the corn was al

although in other places there was
plenty of rain for two weeks almost
every day until about week ago He
says that on one farm and that near
Columbia there has not been a day
in the past six weeks when it was too
wet to plow. In other places it has
been too dry to set out sweet potato
plants. There are sections that have
had the greatest abundance of rain,

Realize the Value of the Draft Sort.
Too Early to Forecast as to the
Probable Price.

Mule prices this fall will not be
materially affected by the agitation
of the removal of the tariff from su-
gar, in the opinion of well posted
mule dealers of this section. AL
though the claim is made that with
the removal of the duty from sugar
the sugar or cane growing industry of
Louisiana will be ruined and in con-
sequence there will be an apprecia-
BILE decline in the demand for extra
heavy or sugar mules" the local
dealers take little stock in the claim.
"Of course" said one well known
dealer this morning, "the very agita-
tion of the matter will tend to have
a depressing effect. However. | am
inclined to the opinion that the mat
ter is being oyerstated for effect
There will be demand for big mules,
the drafty kind, the sort that a pair
can do the work usually required OF
three or four of the smaller sort, even
If there is no sugar crop produced in
Louisiana. Good mules are increas-
ingly in demand. And l certainly
would not advise any farmer to be-
gin breeding for the smaller type
merely for fear that with the possible
passing of the sugar industry from
the South the demand for the heavy
mules might cease.
THE big mule pays. That has been
demonstrated on the farms Of this
county. The teams that do their
work, do it we'll and do it with the
minimum number of head in the end
usually prove to be the most profita-
BILE Instead of being afraid of de-
crease in the value of the heavy mule
would rather fear that there might
be less demand for the lighter and
smaller Class
| 'Entirely too early to make any
forecast as to the mule market this
fall. That depends very largely on
' the sort Of crops that are grown this
summer. 1t is too early to tell any
thing about the fate of the corn crop.
! Unless farmers have plenty Of feed
they will not rush to market to buy
colts and mules. Right now there is
nothing doing in the mule line. Hogs
and sheep hold the boards at this
time and both are proving to be Inn
mensely profitable to the people Of
this county"
