NOT A GOOD CROP YEAR Corn and Peanuts Appear to Do Well, But Other Crops are Off County Agent Dickson reports the corn and peanut crops in Tift county good this year, but tbe other crops 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.
