There is better ground for optimism on
the part of- the. farmers this year than in
two or three years. The crop outlook is
promising now, and if it continues a good
crop will be made. There is reported to be
some boll weevil. The farmers must not take
a chance with the weevil, he must use poi
son and not wait too late about it. With
the crops advanced as far as they are now,
it behooves every farmer to do everything
to make a good crop.
Cordially yours,
President.
