KEEP SMILING:
SUN WILL shine, ,
FARMERS TOLD
County Farm Agent
Says Crops Are Not
Hurting Seriously


Keep smiling; it won't rain al
ways, and the sun is going to shine
again"
This was the message today to the
disheartened farmers of Sumter
county by George o. Marshall, coun-
ty farm agent, in an interview His
words had to do with the spirit of
pessimism in the community as re-
suit of the continued rain.
'fIt's the same thing we hear every
spring." said Mr.. Marshall. '|The
fact is, there is nothing to worry
about yet. The reports that grass is
taking the cotton fields and that
thousand of acres will have to be
plowed up are untrue. | have OBJ
served fields in many parts of the
county and there is very little grass
to hurt anything. Of course, there
are few places where there is some
grass, but most of the fields are still
in good condition and if the weather
clears soon and work can be done in
the fields will be lovely.
Cotton Not Gone.
"Some of the early cotton is of
poor stand, but the later cotton much
of which has not been chopped, looks
fairly good.
Nearly all the crops were planted
before the last rainy period set in,
and are now growing. The exception
to this is some corn, but this can be
planted late just as well as early, be-
cause of our long growing season.
in some places crops have wash
ed out, and this ground will have to
be replanted. In other places the
thin stand of cotton due to cold
weather or other causes, will make
replanting advisable. In these cases
there are several crops that can be
recommended, one of the best of
which is peanuts. Seed peanuts are
high, but the crop can be planted late
and make a good yield, and there is
still plenty of time to get them in the
ground. If the present price of pea
nuts holds up-around 5000 per ton
as much profit can be made off
them per acre as off cotton.
Other Crops, Too
Corn, velvet beans or sweet po-
tatoes are other good profitable crops
that can be planted in this ground if
replanting is necessary, SO the coun-
ty hasn't gone to the bow-wows yet
by any means. In fact, conditions
haven't been so much different from
the average this spring.
''If the rainy period holds on an
other two weeks without the farmers
being able to get into their fields the
situation will begin to look serious.
But ends always come to either wet
or dry periods, and we may; may at at least east
of the present spell"
Inquiry from j. M. Bryan, local
weather observer, today brought the
information that the rainfall so far
this spring had been only slightly in
excess of normal, averaging about 20
inches for the first four mouths of the
year.

LEAVES CAPITAL
FOR VERA CRUZ
SAYS MESSAGE
Gen. Nurguie Sent To
Battle Gen. Gonzales
Troops

WASHINGTON, May IA pri-
vate message was received after mid
night from Mexico City, via Laredo,
Tex, saying that President Carranza
had already left the capital for
the fort of Vera Cruz. The message
had not been confirmed in official cir
cles early today.
Gen. Nurguia has been sent into
the state of Puebla to attack the
forces of Gen. Pablo Gonzales and an
engagement has occurred already be-
tween the vanguard of the Carranza
troops and the rebels at Otumba, be-
tween Mexico City and the city of
Puebla. Gen. Gonzales has declared
martial law in Puebla City, according
to advices, and has exacted a loan of
100000 pesos from the population.
