Egi, a member Of the House of

spection of condition III Korea, is
quoted as making the following
reference to foreign missionaries ::
81 have done my best to get at
the truth of the reports that have
been circulated regarding the in
stigattion of Korean students by
their missionary techerS against
the Japanese authorities. but have
found, that with very few eXcep-
tions. the rumors are not true.
The impression left on me was
that the missionaries are honestly
striving to develop the country in
order that it may yield good re-
suits to the Koreans. Whatever
their motives, there is no reason
why Japanese should not wei
.come those efforts"

Inauguration Of the new regime
But" he added, there is vet
room for Improvement. While

portunity to meet representative

Two TIMELY RAINS
SAVE THE TOBACCO
Madison County Producers Who
Were Apprehensive, Now Jub-
liant Over Prospects

The rain of Saturday night ano
Sunday, while not as excessive as de-
sired in many places in Madison
county, is said to have been a life
saver for the tobacco crop and great
ly beneficial to the corn, especially
and vegetables. Iha condition of the
ground had become such that growth
had stopped in most vegetation and
tobacco, as well as corn, had begun
to suffer. There was much apprehea-
sion upon the part of growers, which
was increasing by the reports of rust
and blight appearing, and there was
much discoloration of tobacco in Mad
ison county as a result of the intense
sun heat an dcool night, with prac-
tically no rain for fortnight.
Many were of the belief that the
blight that is playing havoc with the
crops elsewhere was much in evidence
here, but close examination found
that the tobacco plants were just be-
ginning to "fre up" as n result OF
the climatic conditions, which were
unusual for the month of July.
1t is estimated that thousands Of
dollars have been saved by the time
ly rain, and there is assurance now
that the tobacco crop will develop,
since it has reached such stage that
the topping has already begun in
some localities, although not exten-
sively.
Producers of tobacco are more than
pleased with the outlook now, which
was precarious upon the standpoint
Of the development Of the plants last
week. The rain was scattered, some
parts of Madison county receiving q
drenching, while others just received
enough to be highly beneficial.
