The ec-ld heavy frost that pass |
through last week after the heavy ,

p" | preparing tto chop cotton, but
I since tho rain, many, no doubt |
;u j will plant over again. Corn crops I
are...looking line. Many -of the i
1 cotton growcrs have been cut '
down to a small farm by the gov- <
eminent, especially those whom (
have been operating large farms.
The allotments given-to each far- <
j j mer on cotton have been reduced <
considerably. With this great j
change of reducing the aeerage,i

this year in regard* of the above i

paid. Rent must be paid. Child- 1
