If the rainy days are thus utilized there will be less worry while the unfavorable weather lasts and more actual work accomplished when wealth CT conditions become more favor able.
 If the grass and weeds have taken the crop, or if backward spring weather has retarded planting till it is too late to plant cotton with safety, plant peanuts, which can be seeded as late as June 15, and which, if properly handled, will bring as much money next fall and win ter as other crops.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
 RAINY-DAY FARMING.

The frequent rains and cold weather have made this an un- sually backward spring and while corn, cotton and other cultivated crops are being re- tarded, grass and weeds are foarishing Care must be taken not to begin cultivating too soon after the rains, for if stirred while wet the ground will run together and pack, which con- dition is nearly as bad as hay ing a carpet of grass and weeds. If possible blow shallow or run a serape through the middle as "non cs the top of the soil is dry enough. In a day or so follow this cultivation with deeper blowing, which should clean the crop fairly well.
 While the ground is too wet to plow, 1t is a good idea to set the mower or binder or blows in
