yesterday, to. The damage to the cotton crop in Victoria County from the wind and rain of yesterday will not be great on account of the lateness of the crop and th0 fact that much of the early cot. ton had been picked And even where it had not been picked a surprisingly small percentage of it was destroyed. In fact, some leading farmers contend that the storm was a benefit to the crop, as it stripped the stalks of all surplus foliage and will re. tard the rank growth crop caused by the continued wet weather.

County farm Demonstrator Kreux shares this view. II made a close inspection of quite a number of fields this morning and reached the conclusion that the storm damage to the cotton crop in this county is remark, ably small and not discouraging whatever. The business men and farmers generally are optl. mistic over the situation and hoping for the best. 1li AGE OOOf BY HERE EXCEPT TO "I rat Engllah LwSHaran Churth.
