The Weather.

The prolonged drouth, which for
some time has been serious, has now
reached the degree of being appalling,
for the loss Of the corn crop, which IS
suffering more than anything else.
would be a catastrophe. The loss OF
last years corn crop by the West India
hurricane has been felt,more acutely
than any similar misfortune that ever
befell this country, as the loss was
complete and the price of that cereal
has risen in price almost every month
since, and is now selling at price that
make all hauling and team work un-
profitable. Up to the time of the
storm on July 4th, 1916, the prospect
was for record-breaking corn crop
nothing like it had ever been seen in
the county before, and any number OF
farmers have been heard to say they
would have made enough corn to do
them two years. The corn cropis even
larger this year and up to the past two
weeks has been just promising though
some later on account of the cold,
wet sprirg. Unless there is rain, II
the next week or ten days the old OF
March corn. will be practically ruined,
The cotton is standing the drouth much
better as is the peanuts, but the SOY
beans, of whcn there is large acre
age, is beginning to wther and deter
rate from the hot, dry weather. Wha'
has suffered most has been the dairy
interest, as the grass has hadno chance
whatever and much of it has not had
good season since the rains, whi J
were followed by frost, carly il
