There is yet time TO plant corn and

and late corn.
The early corn stands a better
chance. AS to late corn, if the sum

if the summer is dry. the boil wceyi1

we will have some cotton. But ii
the summer is wet, the boil weeyi

have some corn you may get through
without starving.
There is yet time to have a fine
hay crop. You can plant from now
on, soy beans, COW peas, Sudan
grass, German millet and sorghum
All of these things make good hay
Cow reas make good food.
