Messrs. Vester Mullins and Sam Con-

day. They both belong to that unfortu-

rain. Mr.. Mullins says his old corn and
alfalfa are suffering the most. He has
| 125 acres in corn in one solid body and
| if he gets one good rain expects to
make from 40 to so bushels to the acre,
more corn than he ever expected to
have in his life. His alfalfa has suf-
fered both from wet and dry weather,
and instead of shipping Is or 20 cars up
to this time he has shipped only seven.
The price though, was good, and made
up partly for the short crop. He has
big herd of Poled Angus cattle, that
are doing well, and taking it all in all,
he thinks the prospects are better than
for the past three years.
