However, the cool weather left its marks and the condition surrounding the peanut crop is still uncertain. Blue mold was reported this week in the fields of Farmer Jesse Rawls in Bear Grass, but the warm weather is ex pected to check it. Blue mold has seldom been seen in the fields in this county. The damage was fairly extensive, Brandon said. Tobacco is “moving" now and farmers are “laying by" their corn. The peanut crop is off to a poor start, most farmers re porting poor stands. The tVilliamston Peanut Company has supplied between 50,000 and 00,000 pounds of seed pea nuts for replanting during the past ten days, it was said. Quite a few farmers plowed their fields and planted the crop a second time in its en tirety while a majority resort ed to replanting.
