maa Tuesday;
County schools were closed Mon
day, but classes resumed Tuesday,
although attendance was reported
as light at all buildings.
Without 'doubt the greatest dam
age resulting from the storm was
to the crops throughout the county,
already hard hit by the two previ
ous hurricanes which visited, this
area.
Regarding the' crop situation, as
of. this week, County Agent R. M.
Thompson made this report: .'.
"Hurricane v lone deposited
large amount of water on the farm
; Hands in Perouimans County. - For
a period of 36 .hours the amount
was 7H to 9 inches of rain that fell
on our peanuts', soybeans, corn,
pastures and cotton. With this wa-
ter there is bound to- be a great
deal of damage to the -crops that
are in the field especially after
having a great deal of rain from
Hurricanes Connie andLDiane. In
teveral places in the county peanuts
are completely under water and the
longer this water remains the
greater the damage will be from
lone. With a rough estimate, bas
ing figures on a normal year, our
corn that will be harvested and the
peanuts will be cut at least 50 per
cent. The amount of cotton that
will he picked will be cut as high
as 60 :to, 66 per -cent. Tnere are
many Acres of beans that probably
will not be combined due. to the
rain and. the amount of beans pro
duced will be cut probably SO to 35
per cent This is not considering
the number of young pigs and oth
er livestock that either have been
drownd r obtained fomt disease
Adding, these ngunas up It is our
estimate that we will have 60 per
cent' less' r Moduce 't;isl V-iit '1955

can overcome much of the loss sus
tained by the heavy rains and high

mis laiiy.
The Virginians scored three
times during the second period and
added extra points. Saunders, Cur.

for Churchland in this second quar
