Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
Luray, Va. May Thoroughly
discouraged, disheartened and ex-
pressing the opinion that 1t would be
better to have no crops from the lack
of planting than to plant and lose
labor and seed, the farmers of the val
ley of Virginia are facing a condition
never before experienced.
This unprecedented situation is due
to the fact that they are in the midst
OF one Of the most destructive drouths
they have ever encountered a: this
season of the year. They are accus-
toned to these conditions in the
midst of summer, when the crops are
mare, or at least partially maturef.
They are still experiencing the re-
suits of last summers drouth. when
their crops did not reach more than
so per cent of an average yield. Lit
tie. IL any. corn has been planted. and
the farmers who have their corn in
the ground are apprehensive that
their labor and seed have been lost.
declaring that the lack of moisture in
the ground makes 1t practically i'm
possible for the seed to germinate.
Very few of the gardens in Page
County have been planted, and truck
ers, are so far behind that they be-
lieve that unless rain soon comes the
time will be too short to have the
crops mature. In recent years a large
number of canneries have been built
In this county. and owners of these
esta blishments have been seriously
handicapped by the loss they sustain
ed from last years drouth. The out
look for the present season for these
concerns Is indeed gloomy.
(The farm editor says: Pray for
rain and keep planting. The drouth
will break early in May and all late
crops are going to be good.")
