which was under water in some sections of the county from 4 8 to 72 hours was ruined and such has proven the case Upland corn while not materially affected is to some extent curtailed by being blown over during the storm The week's flood will tell In the production of corn and at the price of this crop now which is more than $1 a bushel the loss is considerable to the growers Cotton is likewise cut short on account of the rain In mnny fields the stalk has turned yellow and this means that development is at an end In sections of the county where the boll was opening rapidly especially in the lower end of the county the "farmers say that the production is cut at least 30 per cent The open bolls have rotted and the staple is worthless Unopened bolls seem to be rotting also In some sections
