Farmers around Vun Wyck an
well up wi'L their farm work
However, they have a good deu
of their corn crop to plant.
Tho dry weather has interfere*
wild tho prcpaiations of bolton
lands to souio extent. Karl'
planted corn has a fairly goo<
it and and is being worked am
thinned to a stand. Cotton, as i
general thing, is a very poor stam
and many lields not up. Soni
have been replanted, but, witl
warm weather and a little mor
moisture, there will be plenty fo
a stand on our red lands. Th
crop will bo late in starting ol
but it generally puts fruit on unti
frost on Waxhaw lands. Thcr
is very little increase in ncreng

and if the season thould be un
favorable for working and clean
ing out the crop, some of it wil
have to bo abandoned, as man;
farms have scarcely enough labo
to keep the plows going. Fal
oats is not very promising an<
spring oats will be a failure. Ver;
little wheat was sowed and show:

weather?yet the yield may sur

is favorable for an abundant when
