W<- had a very nice shower of rain I
last Monday, but. since that time
we have had a hot, wind nearly ;
every day, and we are ’needing rain ,
now very badly. Corn is firing up
ano cotton Is shedding the j.juug
bolls and late corn can not do much
A good season now would heljl ev
erything and would be so nice on
sweet potatoes and turnips. it is
now fodder pulling time and
are saving hay for winter which will*
be badly needed on acount of corn' 1
being cut so short. But we can com
mence now to be saving with all we 1
do make and save all the roughness .
we possibly can, and to begin soon
in next month sowing fall oats, crim-1
son clover or anything that will make
feed.
Good mules have been very high, ■
but with but little feed and little:
money to buy shipped corn, I think
stock will go down. A great many
are now offering to sell good mules
very cheap and say they have noth
ing to feed on. But where there is
a will there is away. So now let us
another year be more wls<- and pre
pare for war in time of peace by
planting less cotton and more corn.
Sow some wheat, oats, clover, etc., ‘
and buy less guano and commercial
fertilizer; pay cash for all you buy
and stay out of debt and we will
have good times again.
