of the fact that the “corn crop was
burning up.” While it is true that
the corn crop has been badly dam-
aged owing to the continued dry
weather, is there anyoue in the
community foolish enough to be*
i lieve that the prosperity of this
part of Texas depends altogether
upon the making of a bumper corn

upon as a calamity, but that day
