CROP PROSPECTS ARE
VERY ENCOURAGING
Farmers are very Optimistic
Over Outlook Which is Said
to be Most Promising in
Years
The crop prospects through
out this section of the coun
try are more promising than
they have been in many years.
Old citizens say thy never
saw a finer prospect for a
bumper wheat crop. Wheat
is in slemlid condition and un
less something unforseeii hap
pens to the crop, the yield will
be unusually large.
Alfalfa was never in Finer
condition at this season of the
year and is fully two weeks
ahead of what the crop usual
ly is at this time of the year.
It is almost ready to begin
cutting now and the mowing
machines will phobably la*
started some time within the
next week or ten days. The
crop is unusually heavy and
the farmers are expecting- a
record-breaking yield the first
harvest of the crop.
Corn is in splendid condi
tion and cotton is coming up
and growing off in fine shape
Crops of ;dl kinds have
come up to good stands and
less complaint is heard of' poor
stands than in many years.
Since spring opened, the
weather has been ideal for
farming, with plenty of rain
and yet not too much, and it
is said that the farmers have
their land in better condition
than was ever known.
Everybody is pushing their
work with a vim and a gener
al spirit of optimism seems
predominant everywhere.
It is hoped that the present
favorable conditions will con
tinue ad that 1915 may bring
bountiful prosperity to the
farmers of Independence coun
ty.
