WHAT FARMERS SAY ABOUT PRESENT CROPS:
    "Mine is not as good as I would like to see it but am mighty thankful for what it is!"
                                                                                          William Oliver.
    "Poor. May make as much cotton as last year. Depends on seasons. Cotton is a month late. So are weevils. Other crops fair. Variety saves us". Chas. M. Dent.
    "Fine. Cotton is good but you can't tell about it yet. Best corn crop. Am in good heart over it!"  Ivey R. Tanner.
    "Rains have hurt cotton but will make a short crop if seasons are right from now on. Corn is pretty good but nothing extra!" L. A. Price.
    "Some of it is good, others off. Rain and rust injuring cotton. As a whole it is pretty fair!"
                                                                                                         Byron Price.
    "If the season hold out favorably will make a pretty fair crop. It is doing all right now. Weevils haven't hurt bolls yet."  H. P. Claxton.
    "I have a good crop on all my farms. Outlook fine."  Walter N. Powell.
    "My crops are fine, much better than I expected them to be. Will make a pretty good crop all around."  Chas. S. Claxton
    "Got average crop. Did not plant any cotton."  C. G. Williams.
    "Have good corn, beans, ground peas and an average crop all round."
                                                                                        Norman L. Grice
    "Crop does reasonably well. Used no fertilizer but it is better than for the last two years."
                                                                                               M. L. West
    "Crop is just common. Does pretty well, I guess. Won't make much cotton because I didn't plant much."  Joe M. Jackson
    "My crop is about an average one. It is some better than last year and will make pretty good corn."   J. R. Raley.
