The cotton crop will in consekjuence be late this season. Wheat and oats are reported to be 'l)romising, although the acreage is not up to normal in the county. C. B. Cannon, county agent, says the county is nUnting a banner corn crop, and that increase in food and feed crops is one of the encouraging signs of the farm situation at this time.
