Crops in our county are spotted. In
isolated sections they are very good,
above the average, but in the larger
area they have been seriously hurt by
the long dry spell, and cane, peas and
pototoes are cut very short.
While the long dry spell has cut
crops short, 1t enabled our farmers to
save their hay and pick cotton.
About one third the cotton crop is
open and the lint was never better.
