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. G. A.
