SALEM LEAFLETS

Extremely warm weather contin-
ues and rain, too, in frequent show
ers until the last few days, but IN
dications are that more rain will
soon follow. The corn crop is very
fine, but complaints are that cotton
is growing too much to stalk and
fruiting rather sparingly. The les
pedeza and pea hay crops are very
promising, and if the weather is fav-
orable for saving the hay crop it will
be one of the heaviest crops ever
saved in this part Of the county.
