Firor In an address be fore the Athens Rotary club Wednesday not only forcast the crop production In this county for this year but gave some Interesting figures on farnffng. In part he spoke os follows: Hamers of Clarke county started the present crop season under very unfmvohible weath er conditions. The months of March. April and May, pro duced very few days, really suitable to preparation and planting of such crops as corn and cotton. The corn planting j was delayed and the few days suitable for planting were used to get the cotton crop in the ground. After the cotnm came up much of It died and as a result the stands generally throughout the county are from poor to good, only. r thon» be ing very few very good or perfect stands. The corn crop was planted late. The oats and wheat crops were saved by virtue of a sudden let-up in weather condltons; and gen erally were harvested and •tr^ed under good conditions, although the yield was not extra. The sowing of peas and sorghum for hay did not pro gress as rapidly as- ‘desired and a lot of this hay crop has been late. Alfalfa and pastures have been extra good through out the season. This brings us to the pres ent status nf the crops In Clarke count. First, as to cot ton. the favorable weather of the month of July with splend- did activity on the part of the farmers in cultivating, caused a heavy fruiting of the cotton crop.
