There is every indication that 1924
will be a banner year for the farm
ers. It has been a long cold winter
with lots of rain. Insects and other
pests have been destroyed by the
billions, and the rains have furnish
ed moisture for months to come.
Some have complained of too much
rain but we had rather have the
rain at this time of year than later
on when crops are maturing and the
harvesting season is on. Last year
the seed were planted early and the
crop matured during the rainy sea
son. Later planting this year should
bring the crop in just right and re
sult in a bountiful yield.
