CONSTIPATION
Ground Too Damp for
Cotton; Plant Other
Crops, Brown Advises
On account of the late season caused
by the wet weather, Lawson E. Broyn.
president of the Georgia farmers' union,
has issued a statement urging the farm
ers to plant feed crops instead of cotton:
He says:
"Your highlands, lowlands and bottom
lands are too wet to prepare for cotton.
I would advise that time and thought be
given to preparation for more corn, more
peas, more velvet beans, more sorghum
cane, more sweet potatoes and more
ground peas. Give more attention to your
hogs, cowr, and if possible avoid what
scorns to be almost a panic. We are
now about six weeks behind with farm
work If the cotton is not p’anted by the
middle of this month and tnere should be
an early winter, it would mean disaster.
Hence it is absolutely necessary to raise
feed, both for man and beast.' 1
