CROP CONDITIONS
EMANUEL COUNTY
Stillmore, Ga. —Crop conditions in
Emanuel County are considerably be
hind those of last year. A careful
consideration of the situation reveals
the fact that there will be something
like a 60 per cent cotton crop this
year.
The late cotton bids fair to yield 25
per cent more than early crops.
The dry weather has greatly retard
ed the growth of all crops, and de
creased the yield of some.
We will realize something like a 65
per cent corn crop. The fodder burn
ing up in several instances before the
corn matured.
The potato crop is practically a fail
ure, there will not be over a 25 per
cent crop this year.
The cane crop is considerably off,
and not more than a two-thirds of a
crop planted.
There is, at this time, the best pros
pect of a bumper pea crop in several
years.
Quite a number of the farmers are
planning to plant from two to five
acres of wheat to the plow for an
other year.
There will be between eight hun
dred and one thousand bales of cot
ton ginned in the county during the
month of August, which will be a de
cided advance of any previous record.
Plenty labor and ideal weather wilt
mean an early harvested crop.

AIKEN CO. COTTON CROP
TO FALL A LITTLE SHORT
Aiken, S, C. —The cotton crop in
Aiken county will fall a little short go
what it did in 1913.
Probably the main reason for this
Is the fact that in early April this sec
tion was visited by severe sand and
wind storms, which killed the young
cotton, necessitating the planting over
of much of it. This late cotton, on
fertile land, will make a fair crop if
the seasons continue good. On the
poor land, the cotton is very small
and will not make anything hardly.
The old cotton that was not killed
by the wind storms Is fairly good U
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2
is opening up well and it is said that
it is weighing up well. The heavy
rains during t«ie latter part of July
and first part of August made the
plant grow a large weed and it is not
as well fruited as it might have been.
The most serious thing that could
happen now, probably is a long
drouth.
The corn crop seems to be good
and the farmers of this county have
been well blesed in that the seasons
for the corn have been good, A great
deal of late corn was planted and the
farmers in this section are going for
a lot of grain this fall. Oats will be
planted very largely as will vetch
and clover crops.
Acute Indigestion.
I was annoyed for over a year by
attacks of acute indigestion, followed
by constipation,” writes Mrs. M. .1.
Gallagher, Geneva, N. Y. "I tried
everything that was recommended to
me for this complaint but nothing did
me much good until about four
months ago I saw Chamberlain’s Tab
lets advertised and procured a bottle
of them from our druggist. I soon
realized that I had gotten the right
thing for they helped me at once.
Since taking two bottles of them T can
eat heartily without any bad effects."
