SANTUCK Santuck, Sept. 4.?"Little drops of vater"?yes, little drops of water nultiplied, and that enough, contrives to make the land beautiful, ^rom the morning of August 31st to he evening of September 3rd we had 1 ;eneral rains here that were sorely eeded. At the beginning: of August his section could boast of as fine a irospect of a crop as it ever had. Hut kdth a recorded rainfall of a littie nore than a half inch for the month intil the 31st you may know that rops generally were burned up alnost. Bottom land corn wen- through ery well, and upland corn that was nade practically, before did not get ' ho worst effects. Some corn was urned to the tassle, and ears drooped ver long before it was ripe. Cotton, believe was cut nearly one-half. The iext morning after the rain, and waitng for the dew to dry off a little so could get into the fields to see the ;ood effects, already, I was feeling o glad, was so anxious I "could leither run nor walk, nor stand still." low it is going to be all hands around my hands) to planting late cabbage ilants;?and they are late too?and urnip seed, and some other seed, but /e will need "good seasons" to make . success. I am afraid the rain being o late coming my late watermelon iatch will not do well. I wanted some o late, the weather would make them eel to one's mouth like ice-cold melns. Well, I am thinking the entire i ounty had good rains. I am feeling 1 hat way, and hope they did. It eems that general rains have a more asting effect than a shower just on ne's own field could have on that field. V Q rmoro o rn 4-rs. ? ? . vio uiv up tu i/iacu cyca now lulling fodder, and cotton is opening, nuch brought on by the extremely dry veather. Field peas, those planted or seed, and for hay are very poor, >ut may be much improved by the ate rains. Thoughts are being adranced along the line of sowing small :rain?wheat, as well as oats. If irices remain up it is likely to be t long time before the present wheat Towing farmers will turn back from his method. The number is growing. >ome who have never sown wheat may lo so this fall. We ought not sow too nany acres, but prepare a few better ,nd select better ones. There is not in acre of land planted to anything iround here, but could be made to nake much more.
