SEEING FINK CHOPS. tuck Swamp and lh>than Sections liles*ed Witli Most Excellent Crops. Several days ago a Herald man aade a trip through the upper end f the county and upon his return old the readers of The Herald bout the fine crops he had seen. A ew days thereafterward a welliieaning but misguided friend met, 'he Herpld man on the street and I aid in all seriousness: "Look here,: f von newsnaiwr mui. ~..s? I alking about the fine crops in this ection the bottom will drop out of! he cotton market this fall." If our| riend is correct in his surmise' hen every farmer in Dillon county; 'ould do well to sell his cotton as' oon as this issue of The Herald oes out to its readers, for we are j oing to tell of some of the best j otton we have seen during the! lonth of June since we were old [ nough to tell the difference beween a cotton stalk and a tomato ine. We said the crops in the up-i er section of the county were look-j lg fine ? much better than they 'ere last year this time, and with ood seasons from now on there as not cause for uneasiness orj larm. This is true. But last Fri-j ay afternoon, in company withi lessrs. M. A. Stubbs, W. H. Breedn and Master Smith Stubbs we ( lade a trip through the Buck wamp and Dothan sections andj tie average is much better than it , in the upper end of the county, raveling southeast over the Marion ! nd Dillon road the crops between ere and Maple Swanjp are not very ood. These lands are planted by xcellent farmers, but they got a ite start and then the sand storm ame along and set them back sevral weeks.. Beginning at the "Big >aks" the crops with but two or nree exceptions are excellent. The irmers on this route planted early, ot good stands, had plenty of time ) work their crops thoroughly and tie indications are they will make lUch better rrnno tHo?> 1 ? ... v> W|/u v ok 14 nci C uiauc ist year. Among those so signaler blessed are D. H. Hyatt, J. H. lerry, John^H. Stackhouse, the lessrs RowenV vloyd Bros, Messrs. 'urbeville, J. R. Reaves and his on-in-law, Mr. Raeford. Crossing tuck Swamp we found good crops n the McCall place farmed by the tubbs Co. and cultivated by Mr. 'urjieville; thence o to the Moody lace where the crops were equally s good. Turning around we rerossed Buck Swamp and taking the iothan road went by the excellent arms of \V. D. Hayes, Laurin Behea, Jno. F. McLaurin and W. P. urles, passing a historic place nown as "Haymount" where in idea times, it was said the lands rere so high you could look over uto Georgia?whether in altitude r in the coin of the realm we do ot know. Along here there were xcellent fields of tobacco as well s cotton and corn, the first curag being under process at Mr. Surss' place. Next we passed the farms f Lon Smith, J. E. Henry and Jno. >. Bethea, all of whom reside at .atta but have their farms wisely nd intelligently managed. Right in ere is the 500 acre tract recently urchased by L. C. Braddv from D. I. Dew for the sum of $25,000 and urther on is the fine plantation of Ir. L. B. Rogers. The Col. Ed. tethea place at Dothan is being lanted thia v?u?- >? i ? or the Stubbs Co., and it is said he present crop is the best hat has been seen on this place in lany years. Anyway, Mr. Stubbs ays if he had the privilege he does ot see how he could make any imrovements on it; as Mr. Stubbs imseif is one of the best farmers i the county the public can get ome idea of the excellence of this rop. All through the Dothan secIon the crops are showing up in a tost promising manner. The John !llen place has a good crop and he P. L. Bethea land at the old IcKenzie place has an excellent rop. The average in the sections tirough which we passed is highr than we have seen this year. In ict this section seems to have been articularly blessed, and good sea3ii8 combined with good farmers ave given it the lead over other ectlons of the county. We wish we ad the space to tell something bout every crop we saw on this rip. However, if there is any per3n in the county suffering from tie blues over the crop outlook we j rescrlbe as an anti-dote a trip tirouirh this section it ujiii ou go back home that night and ream of money growing on trees. i Dillon Herald, 91.50 a Year.
