GLOOMY PROSPECTS,
 FOR THE FARMERS
Making Crop In Mud Without Help
 No HOneysuckle Job

FORT DEPOSIT, Ala, May 31.-In view of the fact that the farmers in this immediate section have planted record breal Ing acreage to cotton, and owing to the scarcity of labor, and with the heavy continued rain- fal! for the past ten days, it seems at present that the far ,ers have bit ten off mo c than they can chew" The cotton plant, compa 'e' with past years, is except onally small for this time of the ye..r; as yet, there has not been reported any fields large enough to produce squares most of the fields have been recently r4anted and barring and chcpping has just started, and many fields are covered with grass.
 The acreage planted to corn will not exceed 10 per cent of that plant ed to cotton, and 1t is predicted that there will not be enough corn raised in Lowndes county, to feed the live stock until Christmas. The small oat crop t. at present in ripe st,ge. and will be almos a total loss unless fair weather prevails within the next few days. Unless the unforeseen hap pens, the pecan crop, which is con- sidered one of the best money ,rops in this section, promises to be above the average, and considering the many thousands O. bearing trees in and. around Fort Deposit, the crop should not fall short of 100000 pounds.
