was just fifteen 3 ears ago last
Saturday night since the bi?
frost that killed the cotton, beans,

been little frost, and cotton and
other stuff has pulled through
better than the people expected.
Some cotton has been planted
over, but this is nearly always
the case. The weather this
year has been cool a little long
er, perhaps, than usual, but it
hasn't been any colder.
