We hear, a great many com plaints of rust, It has attacked the different varieties of it, but what is known as the “beared” va riety seems to be the least affected, The corn crop is good and some of it is well advanced. On aver age it is good. However, there are several complaint entered against the hud worm. There is not much cotton plant ed, and two hundred bales will not be raised in the entire county. A larger area has been plante.d this year than usual. Conference Echecs The lines fell unto this writer in pleasant places at Trentop. Attor ne, J. P.
