Some oats and rye have been planted, but in most counties the rains have kept farmers out of the fields and fall plowing and soil pre paration has been so delayed that very little or none has been done aa yet Late harvesting of other crops is likewise delaying plans. How ever, in the western counties the season for fall planting is just at hand. Present reports and expecta tions indicate a small grain crop this year. The abundant fruit crop has met with a somewhat discouraging market this year. Tobacco prices are from fair to good. Cotton prices are advancing. Eggs are high. Prices paid to farmers for truck and vegetables are considered low. The trend of prices at present is up ward. . Farm labor is as usual scarce, high-priced and hard to get. Al though the season has been . bad, work delayed, weevil damage exces sive, and other discouraging features numerous, farmers report that they have much to be thankful for.

Yields, while low) are not considered abnormally so and while conditions are bad, farmers say they coukf have been worse and are rejoicing to see the sunshine once more.
