Western North Carolina seems to have come in this year for a taste of what other sections of our state and country often experience—long periods of drought. This year the continued dry weather has been disheartening to our farmers, but we are sure they will be glad to know that eastern Carolina is unusually prosperous looking. The crops of cotton, corn, peanuts, and tobacco are beautiful. While the weather for a time was dry also in the east, more recent rains have done wonders. Crops often turn out better in harvest than they promise earlier and it Is not too late yet for our people to have hope.
