past few weeks and have made
rapid progress in preparing for
their crops.
Very little guano has been haul
ed out, which shows that the farm
ers are holding to their promise to
curtail the use of fertilizers. Some
say they will cut their guano 30
per cent. Corn planting is the
order of the day and more is being
planted than was ever known be
fore.

great deal of wheat was sown, but
a large acreage ot oats has been
sown.
Our farmers are leaving out land
to be planted for hay, something
we have never seen before. Less
actes of cotton will be planted this
year in our section than last by 25
per cent. Now let every one raise
his “hog and hominy’’ and there
will be no need of a cotton grow
ers’ convention.
