We motored down to Senoia Monday and observed the crops (or where crops should have been) as we passed along Unquestionably the present cotton crop is the poorest that we have known since 3866. In that year the plant ran to weed and shed its fruit, as it has done this year. The corn crop failed iu 1806 also, and those able to buy it had to pay $2 a bushel. The present corn crop in Coweta is but little better than that of 1866. Under these conditions the farmer should need no persuasion to plant more liberally of wheat and oats than lie has ever done before. They will need no urging to reduce their cotton acreage their experience with the boll weevil this year has taught them a lesson. On the trip mentioned above we saw but one open boR of cotton, nil other fields be ing absolutely bare. We noted, how ever, that a much larger acreage than usual' had been planted in sweet pota toes. This may prove to be one safe crop that may be depended on in the fu ture, and we trust will prove a profita ble one. Anyhow, it is quite obvious the farmers realize that the cotton crop lias “done its do’’ and they are plowing under the stalks preparatory to sowing small grain. The rent question is- worrying land- owners now, along with their other troubles. It is difficult, if not well- nigh impossible, to find a responsible tenant who will agree to give a rent (or cotton) note. The average renter is insisting that the landlord share nil . l ist's with him, as it would be foolish ‘ to promise cotton in payment of rent. One landowner who has been renting his farm for twelve bnles of cotton told us a few days ago that the best offer lie could get for the place next year was two bales. A lottou buyer remarked the other day that he grew fat or lost flesh accord ing to the fluctuation of the cotton mar ket. As prices advanced he begun to pick up, but got thin when the trend was downward. Tiiis fairly describes the emotions of moat of our farmer friends nowadays. We found the good people of Senoia ready and eager to entertain the Wes tern Baptist Association, which meets there on Wednesday and Thursday next. ^ r -. and Mrs. Gary Summers announce the birth of a daughter, who has been named Annie Leu, for Mrs. R.
