All leading crops are late owing to unfavorable weather condi tions. Light rains fell Saturday and Sunday followed by cool weather. Cotton is in the poorest condi tion. Bad stands are general. On stiff lands and clay hills there is hardly any cotton, though much has been planted twice. Corn is reported to be better than any other crop grown in this section. From a gentleman who has traveled all over Northampton duing the past week we learn that the best crops found in the county are around Milwaukee in Kirby township, Creeksville in Wiccacanee township, and in Gaston township. W. W. Grant of Garysburg, whose farm is in Gaston, is said to have the finest field of cotton in the county. Mr, Grant’s farm is reported to be in very fine condition, all of his tenant houses painted, and everything has the appearance that a real live man lives there. It attracts attention. Mr. M. R. Stephenson, of Seaboard, is said to have the best stand of cotton of any of our larger farmers. He has about 300 acres in cotton, every row of which has the ap pearance of haying been prepar ed for a garden seed bed. Per haps good preparation is the secret of his success in getting a stand of cotton. Mr. C. W. Britton of Rich Square, whose farm is 5 miles out towards Jack- eon on highway No. 305, is said to have ail the cultivated land on his farm in as fine condition as labor and improved farm mach inery can make it. A large acreage is being plant ed in soy beans for hogs and for hay.
