DIVERSIFIED OPINIONS ON

Some people are quick to howl,
whue otuers remain optimistic un-
der most trying condition. At
this particular time (while this is
being written) there is more or
less anxiety about the rain ques-
tion, and the cotton crop outlook.
Rain is acceptable almost any
time in this country, and it is
sekiom that a man “croaks” be-
cause we are having too much
rain, and there is no use denying
the fact that lain is needed now
and badly needed. Yet, there is
no cause for alarm, and the cal-
amity howler should be requested
to keep his howler off the job,
because it has not been a half doz-
en years since this country pass-
ed through a drouth that when
compared to the present moisture
condition would make this look-
like a flood, and the people
“survived", and today the coun-
try is in the best condition in its
history—look at the autos.
While it is dry. and feed crops
have deterioated fast during the
last few days, with rain in the
next week or two there will be
ample time to make bumper fall
feed crops, and this we predict
will be accomplished where the
people use proper methods in
farming.
This is cotton making time.

lions of dollars worth of cotton.
If it does not rain another drop
there will be enough cotton raised
to pay taxes—and that’s some,1

incidental bills, while the people
have long since learned to de-
pend on other things to pay the

ed for cotton, and advises us that
a few days rain would revive the1
bool weevil scare and there would
be more complaint from the rav-
ages of the weevil than could ever
come from a little drouth.
We find that the diversified
opinions are due to diversified
ways the farmers cultvale the
crop. Where the soil has
kept well stired and the
free from weeds, and the crop was
planted early, there is no com-
plaint, and it is a fact that the
cotton is in a thriving condition.
