Kobe lespedeza stood the dry weather
of thepast summer better than othef
varieties planted in the county. The
farmers of the county are taking to
the raising of lespedeza more thaf*
ever before and when conditions be-*:
come more normal, they expect tb
profit by the culture of it.
Farmers will have to keep moving
If they expect to have much tobacco^
graded and ready for the market*
■when |the marketing season opens
here on September 19th. The farra^
■er is a very busy man from the time
iie runs the first furrow in the spring
*fciU the last leaf of tobacco is graded
in the following winter. It has been
aaid that it takes 13 months to make
«nd market a crop of tobacco. After

it often sells at just about what it

each Thursday afternoon through the
months of August and September.
The morning delivery on Thursday
will be made as usual and the even
ing mail collection service will be
given as now. This curtailment of

Tfle express is informed tnat tin
season for hunting squirrels um
changed by the last Legislature to
begin on October 1st, instead of Sept.
1st. The licenses have also been
^changed, county license now being
60 cents, State license $1.26 and
combination license, $3.00. They
can be bought from Mr. H. C. Roberts
at the Lee Hardware store. It is
‘thought that there will be plenty of
frame, such as squirrels, o’possums,
rabbite, birds and turkeys this fall.
Much of the spring and summer was
■dry which was favorable to the rais
ing of all kinds of game.
While making t trip through the
Broadway section last week we "no
ticed that cotton had begun to open
in fields where the bolls were not
shaded from the sun by the sent
iwtallcs. While much of the cotton
aJ^ong the highways! had nather a
small stalk it seemed to be heavily
fruited. There is prospect of a this
crop of cotton in Lee county being
gathered this fall. Of course : tbri
crop would have been larger had no!
some of the acrage been plowed up
Many of the planters had gathered
most of their, tobacco crop. In many
-fields there was nothing but the strip
ped, gaunt stalks left. We are in
formed that much of the tobaccf
that has been gathered is of a very
good grade. By the time the far
-filers get their tobacco gathered anc
cured they will have to get busy ir
their cotton and fodder crops. One
* thing that attracted our attentior
t was, that many of the farmers wcri
