tobacco. Most farmers here
that are in the field of corn
business are beginning to
“hoe" their corn. One farmer
here said, and we quote him
saying, “I have been hoeing
com for 40 yea-s nearly, and
the field I’ve been hoeing -
com in this year is the hard
est I’ve ever seen”. Occassioit
ally the field was sowed in
fescue grass!
Meadows here in this sec
tion this year are full jwfth
growth of good hay. The far
mers wonder why the grass
grew so la~re since they s*»y
there wasn’t too much rain
early in the spring? Hay is
the best it has been in many
years this season in this
mountainous section.
Floyd Miller of Pigeon
Roost was here last week. It
was his first visit here in
several months.
A nice preclpation fell here
last Tuesday, Wed., and Thur
sday. Approximately one inch
of rain fell here last week,
according to the weather
philosophy.
