the sudden drop in receipts from i'm

MUCH NEEDED RAIN STORM
VISITS MISSISSIPPI, ENDING
WEEKS DROUTH,

Last nights heavy rain storm which
covered every part of Forrest county,
was almost statewide, and reports
from various parts of Mississippi to-
day tell of the good effect it is having
on the growing crops. A marked i'm
provement in crop prospects is shown.
In some counties drouths of from
three to six weeks in duration have
been broken, and the general rainfall
in this territory yesterday was worth
many thousands of dollars to the farm.
ers.
Reports from the principal cotton
growing centers of Mississippi indi-
cate that the decrease of cotton acre
age, as compared with last year, will
not exceed fifteen per cent. Despite
the low prices that prevailed follow
ing the outbreak of the European war,
the farmers seem to think that they
will manage to market the staple
somehow, and, while they have plant
ed abundant crops of grains and feed
stuffs, cotton is the crop upon which
they will depend for ready money.
1t is yet too early to speculate on

ages, as those pestiferous insects
have not yet put in their appearance.
Practically the entire state is now
within the weevil-infested area, but
in a majority of the counties the farm
ers have learned that they can grow
cotton in spite of the weevil if proper
methods are used.
The harvesting of the oat crop is
now in progress, and recOrd-break-
ing yield is promised. Generally
speaking, the weather has been fairly
favorable for oats, and the crop will
yield a marrying of profit.
