Farmers are having much
trouble to get a stand of cotton.
At this time the prospect of a
full crop is not much over
25 per cent.
D S Brown and Sons are trying-
their lianas on improved far

bout 89 acres on which they
put nine tons of pulverized lime
last fall, sowed in crimson clo
ver seed, turned that under this
spring, harrowed, rolled, run
off and subsoiled and planted
it with guano. They have gone
over it about several times this
spring. The corn is now ready
to come up. If the Lord will fa;

crop of corn. But we should re

need to be especially careful ; and
should eat slowly and masticaet

important that they keep their

they should take Uh amber Iain's
