The rains Of the past week have in
a large measure been what we term To-
cal, however, there are few sections of
Haywood county which have not re-
ceived the blessing of good shower.
The cloudy days following the rains
have caused the crops to get the very
best results. From present indica
tons this county will have plenty
of corn for home use and the cotton
crop will be better than last year.
Recent rains have done much for
peas and lespedeza and the indications
are that Haywood will have better
hay crop than was expected a week
ago. At that time prospects for hay
were very gloomy.
