Corn and Peanuts Appear to Do Well,
But Other Crops are Off
County Agent Dickson reports the corn

not up to standard. This appears I
i all-round poor crop year.
Few cantaloupes were planted,
en where they were planted the crop
ns almost ruined by anth-ar-nosc.
Watermelons are making only about o
half crop, due to heavy rains knocking
the early melons off the vines. I 1
have been very good, earlv shipmtuts
bringing more than $300 a car. A drop
is feared, however.
Cotton will 'produce only about a half
crop, dufe to weather conditions, wilt and

Tobacco ig poor. About 1,200 act-
the county were planted in tobacco, bat
the crop has not received tbe attention it
needed, probably due to inexperience.
