state that the percentage of damage

Cotton growers were wearing
smiles. They consider that their
crop was made by the rain and that
without further moisture the crop
will mature and produce a bumper
yield. Cotton, except in isolated
spots In the county, was not suffer
ing from the want Of moisture. Feed
crops were also helped greatly by the
rain.
