interested in a reading and speak-
ing knowledge of the Spanish
language will have a good oppor-
tunity to realize this ambition
during the next school year, ac-
cording to J. Lynda 1 Hughes, su-
perintendent.
Mrs. Lucille Nora Perkins, hold-
er oi a Bachelor of Arts degree
and a Master of Arts degree, lias

Slow Rains
Break Back of
Hot Drouth
NUMBER 29
Slow-falling week end rains
broke the back of a several
weeks’ old drouth and dispelled
a heat wave that had been grip-
ping this area in 100 degree tem-
peratures.
In addition to replenishing wa-
ter supplies and lowering temper-
atures, the rains stopped prema-
ture opening of cotton and will
give growing bolls a chance to
attain full development. Pas-
tures and fall gardens will also
benefit from the rains.
Farmers say the wet weather
is causing an increase in crop in-
sects, and many of them eXpec-t
to give their cotton another treat-
ment of poison within a few days.
Greater damage from insects,
however, is likely to be offset by
greater crop production, so most
farmers are not complaining
about, either the delay in cotton
picking or the increase in cotton
insects.
Everyone is enjoying the new
; ceiling m temperatures, brought
I about without the aid of OPA. It
I was a hard-tn-gt t item, but there
; is plenty of it now.
