Our Sunday schools were off a

Cotton is a very good stand and
is looking fairly well.
Corn looks well and most of
the late planting is now coming
up nicely. The three weeks’
drouth has been broken by some
nice genial showers. We had a
nice rain Friday night and more
Saturday night and Sunday.
Crab grass is growing nicely,
but the people are working with
a vim to out do the grass.
Most people are nearly done
chopping cotton.
Oats have suffered some from
the dry weather, but on good land
they are fairly good.
The wheat crop will be almost
a blank here. It is good, but I
don’t know of but one man who
has any in this community.
I guess most people will sow
peas and sorghum for hay. If
we have to buy Hour we should
not have to buy any hay. If we
depend entirely on the cotton
crop to buy everything I am
afraid we will come out at the
little end of the horn. So if we
possibly can let us diversify crops
and try at least to make the farm
self supporting.
The strawberry crop and peach
crop are a great help to the peo
ple. It puts money among them
and they are the government and
the farmers are the backbone of
the government.
