Several farmers in New Hanover
and adjoining counties reported
slight damage to crops in low field
due to the heavy precipitation.
Most of the damage was confined
to collards and cover crops such as
cas- and Soy beans. Other larger
and more valuable crops are
scarce at this time, they said,
Little damage was reported to
the corn crop, now well developed.
But some farmers were slowed in
the fall planting by the fact that
the ground is yet too wet to be dub.
In other sections of the state,
more serious damages were report
