Drought During June Plays
Havoc with Early
Corn.
The protracted drought during
June following the excess of rain
during May is playing havoc with
the early planted corn. It seems al
most impossible to grow a good corn
crop and at the same time get a
good cotton yield. Enough rain to
produce corn causes too many wee
vils to get a full cotton crop. Guess
we had better find some new crops
that are not attacked by
and will stand some drought.
