Rain Badly Needed

Rains of the past few weeks have
been about as spotted in their visits as
ever heard Of in these parts. Some
sections have had excellent seasons, in
fact a few sections more than they
needed, while others have had none.
Reports indicate that corn is badly in
need of rain in most parts of the coun-
ty, while cotton is said to be growing
fine and is in good condition and ftuit-
ing well, tho the plant is small. Crops
have been pretty well worked out and.
altho late, there seems to be no reason
why there should not be fair yield of
cotton, not an average yield, of course,
but yield that will prove remunera-
tive with the prices that seem certain
to prevail at gathering time. There is
much young corn in the county and in
this must rest the principal hope for
the years feed supply, as old corn IS
poor. and now too far gone
for any Improvement by rains.
