RAINS MAY CAUSE
REPLANTING OF CORN

Part of the county's corn crop may
have to be replanted, following the
heavy cold rains of the last few days,
according to farmers at the court
house Saturday.
Corn which has been in the ground
long enough to sprout before the rains
began, will not be injured, but that
which was planted only two or three
days before the rain began, may rot,
it was said. About half the crop has
been planted, most of it in the days
just before the rain.
No other crop was injured. AL
though the clover crop looks discour.
aging, this is not due to the rain, but
to the grasshopper plague of last year
which left very poor stand of clover
to make this years crop. Young
clover planted this spring was not
injured.
