Mr. Z. F. Green of Traveler's Rest, gives this description of the condition of the cotton and corn prospects: Corn has come up well and there is a good stand and is looking well; cotton planted early, came up tolerably well and there is a fair stand-that which was planted later has not come up so well, and there is not a good stand. He began planting cotton on the 11th of April, which was a week or ten days earlier than the previous year. There is plenty of fruit on the trees. |
Mr. W. H. Davis of the Berea Church neighborhood, feels rejoiced at the good stand of corn that he has-also, that the most of his neighbors are similarly fortunate. As to cotton stands, but few are good, and many farmers are planting seed a second time. The weather for developing vegetations he regards as very fine |
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Holland of the Bethel neighborhood, were in town last Wednesday. Mrs. H. has recently been quite sick, but is now well enough to be about again. She is a lady of great energy of character. At times she has milked and attended to five cows a day. Her butter finds ready sale in the market as it is (torn) and sweet and well made, from a standpoint of care and cleanliness. Mr. H. is one of our best farmers, making his manures on his place, raising his horses and growing all the grain and provender needed for use on his farm. A harder worker is not to be found in the County. His corn stand this spring is good, but he is afraid that some of his cotton seed was covered too deeply as he has not yet a full stand. Mrs. Holland is looking for a visit soon from her daughter, Mrs. Summer who lives at Arden, NC. |
