FARMERS SHOULD
NOT Be DISCOURAGED
Strickly Sticking TO it After Rains
Stop Will Help to Make Bumper
1t was two years ago that the farm
Crop.

The farmers of this county should
not by any means become discour-
aged over the weather delaying the
working of their crops like it has.
1t was two years ago that the form
ers all had late start and yet they
made bumper crop, which yielded
them more than they had expect
ed, and farmers were turned to bet
ter shape than for pervious years.
We are told that in some parts
of the county good deal of plowinP
and planting has already been done,
but that in other sections there has
been practically nothing done. Ii
all sections there is not much nee
for any alarm, if the rains snouIa
stop between now and the first of
June, the largest corn and Fwel
potato crop in the history of the cour
ty should and can be made. Memphis
terday was 1926 per bu., and th
is mighty good price, much better
than cotton would pay you now.
The lateness of the season offer
the farmer the opportunity of Civ
ling more attention to his stock
hundreds of extra head of hogs an
calves can be added to their herds
and in this way many hundreds of do
lars brought to the farmer who doe
not overlook this chance.
The County Agent is hoping to make
record shipments next fall, and he be
Ilieves that the prices are going to bt
better than ever, but even thougl
the prices are the same, or just d
little under the present, the man VIII
takes up his time this kind of wealth
er in keeping up his stock, will b
paid big interest for his labors.
We can see no reason for anyon,
becoming the least bit discouraged
over the outlook that is if the OF
Iportunities are seized that are of
fered the man who has a business
eye to what can be done on his farm
Work hard, and put everybody a
round you to work, and the best will
come from your labors.
Don't Overlook Potato Crop.

Plant owners are looking forward to
a big sweet potato crop, and their

many cash dollars to his
pocket OF in his bank next fall, and
this should not be overlooked. There
is good money in the potato crop and
where you have a ready market, it
makes it extra profitable.
Club Boys and Girls At Work.
The many club boys and girls
over the county are getting down to
BUSINESS and their work is going
to count this year, as is shown from
the reports sent in to the county a
gents The club members all have
made good profits since their going
into the work in an earnest way, and
splendid prizes offered them this
year would seem that competition,
with good work, will be extra keen.
In this branch of work, many a boy
and girl has been started on the road
to high success, and there is every
reason to beliveve that our county
membership will pass all expecta4
tions. The boys and girls are coop
Grating with their mothers and
fathers, and they seem to be sat
isfied that their work will be fruit

Large Crowd Witness Showing of
American Legion Minstrel at The
Grand

AS near as real minstrel can be
was the American Legion showing of
"the High School of Minstrelsy' at
the Grand Theatre on Wednesday
night of this week. The show was
first class in every respect, and the
local talent went through with their
parts just like veterans at the game.
The curtain was pulled at 8:45.
and the fun began, taking hold OF the
audience from the start. Specials be-
tween acts were good and the aud
ience fully enjoyed every moment of
the entire program.
, The American LEGION member
snip is composed of real men, and
who appreciate the liberal patronage
.and assistance given them in their
first public entertainment.
A nice little sum was netted them,
and the public was we'll pleased with
the show.
