In answer to the questions sent out by the News we have received num- erous reports from sections all over the county Reports were made out by we'll informed farmers and may be relied upon to be as nearly accurate as possible for practical men to approxi- mate. It seems to bear out an earlier report that cotton acreage will be cut all the way from 25 to 50 per cent in the different localities.

About 75 per cent of the corn was already planted. Some few localities are growing truck for the market, and many localities are paying more attention to poultry and eggs. Considering the unfavorable weather, this report may be consider ed good one.
