Mr.. and Mrs. Warren Stewart were
in town Thursday. In speaking of his
crop, MIR. Stewart said his corn crop
was as good as the ground would grow;
the same could be said of peas, velvet
and soy beans, peanuts and potatoes,
but the cotton crop had fallen off con-
siderably in the last two weeks, the
boil weevil puncturing the squares and
causing them to fall as fast as they
formed. If the cotton he planted in
March had come up with a good stand,
he said, he is satisfied he would have
the weevil beat, as the few stalks that
did come up are filled with grown bolIs.
Nearly all the farmers in the prairie
section had to plant all their March cot
ton over in April, due to the fact that
several heavy rains packed the ground
