Corn is up and looking beautiful, while the stand of sugar cane the country over lias never been more per¬ fect. The prospects for a large peach crop are indeed fine. Apple trees, while bearing a good load of fruit, are suffering terribly from the ravages of the blight. Farmers are badly behind with cot¬ ton planting. Not more than half the area to be planted has yet been seeded, and the ground is already too dry to sprout the seeds. Every indication points to a continued dry spell. Messrs. E. D. Paulk and W. H.
