 COME JUST IN TIME
Refreshing Rains Fall Throughout the County, Being of Material
 Benefit to Crops

Courtland, Junef 5.-tSpecial. )--Refresh- ing rains have fallen throughout the county during the past two days and it is still cloudy. The rain of June was the first that has fallen in this imme- diate section since cotton was planted and a a result the stand IS not as good as it might be. About per cent of the cotton is not up, but with that excep- tion the crop is normal. Almost the en- tire crop has been chopped and IS look ing well.
 The corn crop Is about 75 per cent of a normal one. The want of rain has seri- ously affected that crop and unless the seasons are propitious from this time on a short crop will be raised in the county.
 Oats are now being harvested and the yield while good is not as good as would have been had seasonable weather pre- vailed for the past 30 days.
 Small patches of alfalfa are produc- ing bumper crops and as a result quite an increase in acreage will be seeded next season. No other hay has been har- vested yet <
