Rains Boost Crops. Garden Harvest Brightens Local Week
Sunday visits by M. D. Alspach and John Neely anchor a report on copious rains across the state’s southern region that refreshed late corn, pastures, and soy beans. Moisture fills the ground for fall plowing as cooler nights quicken soil absorption, aiding gardens and late beans. Tomatoes ripen, new plantings emerge, and fresh vegetables arrive, with families such as Mrs. Julia McGown, Mrs. H. L. Adams, Price Gilmer, George Wade, John Pier, Darlie Roland, Price Hossins, Marilee Pearson, Betty Hoskins, and Sue Purfin noted among those enjoying the bounty.
