Fallen Deficiency Since January Ist is 7.2l—Farmers
Delaying Their Planting on Account of the Drought.
Augusta and this entire vicinity are

or. the lack of moisture in the soil,
farmers hate delayed for some time
in plalntlng. It Is understood that
the cotton that is already up ts not
suffering *<> much, hut that which la
not yet up lias not been able to ger
minate. and consequently is being
