Profits of the Season. 

 The season is quite generally considered to have been a 

 poor one for the farmer. None speak of it as unusually 

 profitable, while the great majority consider it either un- 

 profitable or only fairly so. The unfavorable condition is 

 largely due to the drought of summer and early fall, which 

 shortened nearly all crops, and in some sections reduced 

 them nearly to a minimum. There is also much complaint 

 of slow sales and low prices. One correspondent attributes 

 this to so many men being out of work, thus shortening the 

 local markets. Others mention the fact without attempting 

 to account for it. Several speak of wool as commanding a 

 very low price and, in fact, having practically no sale at all. 

 Lambs also are said to bring a low price. Much will de- 

 pend in many localities on the prices brought by special 

 crops, as, for instance, tobacco, which are not yet sold. 

 Taking everything into consideration, for the State at large, 

 the season has been far from a profitable one.
