Depords Vary On

Crop Conditions
By The Associated Press
Cotton prospects in Floyd coun
ty ~re the poorest in 13 years, . . .
All crops ave in good shape in
t.» Albany area. ; . .
We need more rain. . , .
we need a spell of dry weath
;o ren reports from Georgia to

the past few weeks.
\yparently, the gloom or opti

here they live anhd what they
row
r.r examnle, Lowndes county
ecnt R. E. Miller said in Valdas
‘4 that rains of recent days “did
the impossible with fobacco. It
was like waving a ywe-+z¢ wand
ov-r the fields.”
vt, Miller added, sinse much
of the tobacco had just about
renched maturity when the rains
came, the outstanding yielde pre
licted earlier this year will not
be reached.
However, with an approximate
19 per cent increase in the acie
aoe planted, total pourdase will
caval that of last year, Miller es
estimated. :
Corn, Cotton
C'orn and cotton, almost whip
ped by the drought, came back ex
centionally well around Valdosta,
Milier said, and truck corps, ex
cent for cantaloupes, ‘“‘are coming
ovt nicely.”
Viany sections, which had some
rain a few weeks ago, hoped for
more showers to counteract the
near record breaking hot spell of
the week-end. Temperatures in
the upper 90’s and as high as 101 in
several spots, Including Augusta,
dried out the soil.
Around Athens, some farmers
said they needed dry weather to
sive them a chance to work out
their crops.
Another complaint in the Ath
ens area was lack of a grain ele
vator to store an excellent wheat
astures in surrounding Clarke
nty suffered from the drought
the prospects for cotton and
tables were good,
rom Rome came reports that
r it rains have helped Floyd
ounty pastures and corn. The
sheat acreage there is less than
for the past two or three years but
per acre yields are high.
Floyd County
Most heavily hit in Floyd was
eotton, wheh eould be helped only
bv the most favorable weather
conditions. And then the best hope
was for a yield equal to last year’s,
which was only one third of nor
mal.
Many farmers in the Savannah
and Chatham county area have
had to resort to irrigation this
year.
J. P, Zipperer, farm superin~
tendent of the J. L. Budreau plan
tation, said the hot weather has
done little damage to his crops:

VATICAN CITY IN FESTIVE LIGHT — st Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's
Square Colonnade, Vatican City, are bathed in light after beatification of Pope Pius X,
10 days and irrigation did the
trick.
But he estimated farmers in the
area generally suffered damage
ranging from 10 to 25 per cent‘l
Farmer Hubert Keller of the
same section said he has no irri
gation system and that the dry
weather damaged his crops se
riously.
He said recent showers did him
no good as the water runs off or
dries up before it can aid the
crops. Particularly hard hit, he
continued, were corn and soy bean
fields and pastures.
Moultrie—~Tobacco
County Agent Harold Brown
said in Moultrie that Colquitt
county expects a fairly good to
bacco crop, with about the same
tonnage as last year. Although the
tobacco acreage has increased 16
per cent, dry weather and worms
have held down the yield.
Generally, the drought appears
over in Colquitt ccunty, Brown
said. Most crops appear in good
shape, although watermelons have
been slowed down.
In Atlanta, the crop reporting
service summarized that while
most crops in Georgia have been
helped by scattered showers re
cently, the early spring drought
gdve all growing things a slow
start.
Mid-Georgia still can use rain
in some areas, but on the whole
dry weather hasn’t damaged crops
extensively. Peaches got the rains
they needed just in time. Pastures

Guest Necessary!
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newsfeatures Writer
Young couples, hunting their
first house in the country, invari=
ably lay great stress on the extra,
or guest, bedroom, It ranks easily
as high as the outdoor fireplace in
their living plans.
I have noted with interest, how
ever, that after a year or two of
| residence, that cherished guest
room almost invariably is convert
ed without fanfare into a study
- without daybed, a combination
' sewing room and catchall or a
place in which to isolate the chil
}dren on rainy days. (After the
same time, the outdoor fireplace
is most frequently used to burn
old newspapers which the Boy
‘ Scouts neglected to pick up in the
paper drive.)
~ The institution of having week
end guests is highly over-rated,
and it doesn’t take the entertainers
long to find that out. The Friday
night-to-Monday--riorning house
guest is a domestic modification
of the British Thursday-to-Tues
day week-end houseparty. As a
long-time student of the detective
story, I know that the house party
is the English mystery writer’s
favorite setting for homicide.
The shorter American version is
also a natural breeding ground for
murder, particularly toward the
end when everyone’s nerves are
frazzled, the host’s special stock of
spirits is almost depleted and the
hostess’ feet inform her she has
been spending about 34 hours a
day for two days over a hot stove. |
Inviting people for the weekend
in a maid-less household, which
also includes children, is for the
average famlly a rugged experi
ence. To be a successful week=
end guest is an exacting art, re=-
quiring the diplomacy and under=
standing poured into arranging a

breakfast becomes a rather formi
dable affair, with freshly shaven
gentlemen and ladies in complete
make-up making light-hearted

Normal week-end preoccupa=
tions, like painting the screens,

car must be abandoned irf favor of
lounging on the terrace ana in
dulging in banter to the tune of
clinking ice-—or wrestling nervous=
ly in the kitchen with a stubborn
tomato aspic. Or, if the men
folks go off to play golf, the hos
tess has to cope with both the
kitchen chores and the female
guest or guests.
Most week-end guests are city
dwellers who entrain to the coun
try with suitcases and a gift
wrapped package containing some
item which is almost bound to be
alcoholie, edible, perfume or "a
gadget relegated to the attic the
next Monday. Week-end guests
usually are dreamers who hope to
return to town with a healthy
tan. In point or fact, they usual’ |
return beet-red with a ‘certain
amount of poison ivy picked up
on their own when they decided
to really get the feel of country
living by doing a little weeding.
Their lot is difficult. It is al
ways a problem whether to offer
to assist with the chores or wheth
er to discreetly get out from un
derfoot. Tho too-helpful house
guest can be a worse strain than
the one who remains in bed until
dinner time or who rests with the
Sunday papers in a shady mook
while the host and hostess are
struggling with the hamburger
patties and getting the chareoal
to the proper degree of glow.
Regardless of whether one is a
week-end guest or host, everyone
gets to bed early Monday night—
and sighs that the ordeal is over.
