Small Corn Yield Expected in York. York.-While the York county cot ton crop has shown marked improve gnent of late en account of favorable - weather conditions, the corn crop is very poor and is causing much con cern. A York man who has traveled over the greater part of York county especially the western half, said that the prospect for corn production is the poorest in many years and this opinion is heard on every side. Practically all the corn is very late due to the fact that cotton had the right of way after the cessation of the rains last spring. For anything like a good yield decidedly favorable weath er conditions throughout the remain 4er of the growing season is essential. What little early corn that can be tend is suffering from the ravages of Iasect pests. On top of these handicaps, the acre age in corn this year is smaller than uisual, a fact that seems odd in the light of the weevil menace to cotton. Last fall when the weevil put in its aperance here and the price of cot tnwslow, there was much talk about planting a big corn crop but when the price of the staple improved this sentiment waned. Evidently the cotton lure is hard to shake off. Other crops may arouse considerable vocal enthusiasm but cotton is the crop that comes in for heavy plant iag, the farmers themselves admit. As a consequence of adherence to ~e system of making other crops than ittonl of only minor importance. many 'rk farmers will be fotrunate if they escape buying cora in large quantities next year. acecording to observers of the situation. And if they have to buy it with money from boll weevil cotton, as will undoubtedly be the case, they may find the corn more exp sneive. Granted New Trial. Spartanburg.-R. J. Gantt, attorney, has been notified that a new trial has been granted in the shrdluhrdludlu been granted by the federal circuit court of appeals at Richmond in the case of Dr. J. F. Williams. a promi nent physician of the Roebck section convicted in the federal district court of violating the Mann white slave act. The case attracted considerable atten tion because of the prominence of Dr. Williams. Still Hold Cotton. York - .Twenty-five cents a pound seems to be the mark fixed by western York farmers for the cotton crop they are holding. Although the price has been good for several weeks. being well above the 20 cents level, the sales have been small in comparison with the cotton stili i nthe hands of the producers.
