cRoP CONDITIONS

Rain is very much needed ia all
portions Of the county. The small
amount Of old corn that We have is
practically made, but young corn win
be seriously damaged unless we have
rain in very few days Corn pros
poets are not bright.
Cotton is deteriorating to some ex-
tent on account Of the dry weather
and is being damaged to a consider
able extent BY the boil weevils.
Some farmers claim as much as so
per cent. damage by the weevils, but
this heavy damage is confined to
small Arrears and is widely scattered.
Many farmers report that they have
few, if any, weevils.
The percentage Of weeyil damage
to the cotton crop Of the county as
whole may not be large, but it will
be great enough to convince our peo-
pie that we are in the fight for keeps
and that diversification Of crops will
be one Of the most valuable weapons
Of warfare that we can use.
The prospective scarcity Of corn
emphasizes the necessity Of saving
as much hay as possible and provid-
ing winter pastures for the live
stock.

Tuesday Five hundred eleven chill

weeks the truck has been in the
county.
Dr. Margaret Koenig, physician in
charge, is very anxious that every
mother bringing child receive an
examination. The truck usually ar
rives in a community about 9 O'Clock
in the morning. She is asking that
the mothers bring their children early
in order that all may receive the
benefit of the specials visit.
It is now becoming a common occur

most respectful manner and ask if
their children might not be examined

papers over the state complimentary
