about crops: Conditions
taken as a whole are better and
m ore encouraging than I expected
*. considering the excessive
rains, delayed pla nUng and the
boll weevil. Crops near the towns
a 11 roads are generally good,
nn d the boll weevil Is being Intel
ligently fought. But when you pen
etrate into the country, a change
|» noticed. Crops are small and not
11 worked and you do not
much stubble land planted
in peas. You also notice much
more land lying Idle, and the fur
ther you get away from the towns
the more unfavorable the crop
prospects and the smaller the
acreage planted in cotton.
PRACTICALLY
NO COTTON
In Ooosepond district, and gen
erally over the Flatwooda, you sel
dom see a patch of cottoq and that
Is small and the crops generally In
the grass. Mr. McRea, a prosper-
farmer about five miles east
of Woodstock, tells me that he
knows of only two acres of cot
in his neighborhood, and that
belongs to Pat Winn.
He says when the rains continu
ed and the boll weevil appeared,
farmers who had planted cotton
plowed it up and put the ground
In peas or late corn. This is what
he did. And another drawback, ow
ing to the continued rains farm
ers could not get their crops plant
ed and very few got in more than
half of what they could have easl-
* ycultlvaledL For Instance, Mr.
McKea says he had intended to
plant 150 acres and had stock and
a force to work thnt well. But he
only got in 75 acres and the almost
daily rains have prevented his
properly cultivating even this. He
and other farmers had tQ plfftt
their crops and work them when
the ground was almost a loblolly.
Iiut If the weather now clears off
they can soon clean their fields and
if the seasons are favorable they
will make plenty of supplies to
run them another year. But as an
oc*et t farmers have bought neith
er fertilizers or supplies on time,
and have hired hands at stand
ing wages, about sixty cents a day.
So what they do make will be clear
nnd they will not have to pay it
out on debts. Fanners are selling
truck to meet expenses and pay
their hands. Mr. McRea says Ho
ha* one thousand bushels of corn
to sell. Farmers have managed to
ket along without much cash.
LARGE CROP8
OF CORN
You notice crops are spotted. In
one neighborhood they are better
worked and more promising than
lr. another. Then you pass through
a belt of country with dwarf crops
In the grass, but little stubble land
unwed down. But taken as a whole,
the outlook Is somewhat better
than reports would lead one to
suppose. I saw considerable com
Planted and some of it Is laid by
and looks well. Then you see
ibid with yellow stalks, about as
high as your hand and the weeds
and grass hiding the plants. But
farmers are plowing out this corn
and they may yet make a'crop.
Hut you see peas planted every
where and sweet potatoes and sor
ghum.
Across the creek In Wilkes coun
ty around Centerville, crops are
looking better, and plows are
speeding clearing the fields. But
here you also see many fields left
untilled.
But a think on a considerable
majority of the farms there are
Rood crops and more provisions
"ill be made this year than ever
in the history of our farmers. They
nearly all made more than enough
wheat to supply their places and
they are also raising hogs and oth
h stock. i
