A foretaste of autumn was given
this section during the early part of
Rhse hWnT-
ped several degrees. The nights
were positively cold and vegetation
shows the effects. On Monday many
farmers in the highland sections be-
gan the harvesting of corn fodder
and in a few days the entire early
planted corn will have been cut. In
the bayshore and lowland sections.
fodder saving will not begin for sew
eral days. The corn crop. while a
fair one in yield, will be slightly be-
low normal, especially the early
planting. However, the late planting
promises well and should bring the
average yield up to about normal.
Local tomato canning plants are
busy packing the crop, which is a
good one in this section. In former I
years it has been the custom to .
plant tomatoes all at one time. and |
all coming into fruitage at the same
time, but this year local canneries
have had growers to set many acres
Of early tomatoes in order that the
canning season might be heightened.
AS a result the canneries have been
busily engaged in packing the early !,
crop for two weeks and now the
late, or regular crop is being har-
vested. Local growers are pleased
with the results but in the future
will insist that the plants be deliv-
cred to them two weeks earlier than
was done this year, claiming that if
his is done the early crop will be
profitable to them as the regular one
md will not interfere with the late
paintings. Tomatoes are plentiful
lut the price Tin open market) is not
10 good. Those growers who con-
racted again show that it pays to
contract.
