Specialists Sees Bright Prospect For Our Farmers (By J. II. Dean, Agricliltiiial Author- ity ) ' 'There.-' has been more rainfall in Tennessee and adjoining states this spring than any spring for thirty four .years, This has di layed plant ing of all crops throughout the south eastern states. Due tn this unusual "wet .spell' farmers are behind iii their work and many of t hem will not plant the crops that they h id .intended planting. In our -opinion this will result in ;i dis tressing shortage ill produce through out. the ve.'ir Covet rinn-nl wni-L- :onl industrial activity will' be greatly in-,"1' ,n(' g'"'Cal assembly to ipSllll) per creased this year-' over last vcar and! :''-ssl"11: At l"eent the pay of mem- theie will be a stronger ilemand for all farm products, aiid especially veg etables. ' :;" We must, remember that our South ern tioiglibors have not been itble to jda'tn either henc e can " grow vegettibles tor the 'market as '-.early a -.'.bey can. In fact many of -them will !!'' grow 'their usual quantity of veg : I'tables ('of this section,- hence it . i c;n that the market would lie great iy id favor of the local . producers. '-.-;.. -The truth of the matter is tlie drougth :ind (lust storhis of the West and the Usual rains of -. the ' .Southeast have placed farmers in this ,-ecl.iiin in a. favoi-ed jiosit ion. The wet weaWu'r only -means that -all crops will be three or -four. 'weeks later than usual. The subsoils of our Section, however, are thoroughly saturated with : water and there is ample reserve moisture to carry the crop through. The .-springs ate bold, the creeks are up, the weIs and citerns and ponds are full.. The crops ol. t His section will stand three or. lour weeks later planting -and - probably do as well as usual. It is' no time to get panicky and abandon -' crops or pans oi crops, we are sure our farmers will use their usual good, common sense and take the fullest advantage of this opportuity. Every farmer who has contemplat ed raising any kind of vegetables this spring should be more concerned and determined to grow them now more than ever. If he has certain lands set aside for oats or corn, he should by all means prepare that land as best possible and make every effort to grow a fine crop. If he contemplated growing a patch, or field, of tobacco he should resolve to make: a better crop than he. ever grew before.. Due to the government's expansion of the currency; the government's ex pm liture of billions of dollars; to the drougth and raging dust storms of the West and the excessive rains of the Southeast, prices are bound to be high. The man who has something to sell will be in luck. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Russ had as their guests over the week-end Mr. and Mrs. Foster Bennett, parents of the latter. Mr. W. C. McBride, of McCormick, S. C, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Carol McBride. THl'RSDAY, APRIL 18, 1935 Annual C. Of C. Banquet Set For Tuesday Evening Splendid Program Planned.
