For the past week we nave had ex-
cessive rainfall in this section and all
REPORTS say that this is very general
all over the Southeastern states. We
note that some state that in some sec
tions that the rain fall has been so
very heavy as to ruin practically all
the crops. The crops in this com
munity were above the average for
the time of the year un;il this recent
rain fall and we cannot very we'll cs-
innate the damage until the rainy
season is over and the sun begins to
shine with all it's might in August
delight. 1t is certain that cotton will
shed if this occurs and it might be
we'll inasmuch as we nave had such
excessive rainfall for it to stop grad
ually and not all at once. Flood
warnings have been issued by the
Department of Agriculture and all
rivers are booming full at this writ
ing which will cndanger all cattle in
the swamps. The cora crop has
pretty we'll matured ana will not be
| affected 50 much by the tremendous
rains. Some farmers are much wor-
ricd over conditions Just now however
we always invariably over estimate
crop damages and in most cases
general rainfall all over the cotton
cotton which will prove the best thing
in the long run.
