Crops in this section are better than any we have seen. Upland corn is be ing laid by by some of our farmers, while cotton is heavy loaded with squares, and we will have blooms in a few days. We tell you, Mr. Editor, as a whole our farmers cannot be excelled. They are second to none when it comes to straight out farming.
