COTTON CHOP.
August Report of the Department OF
Agriculture-ImproYed Condition.
Five States Report Higher Averages, Two are
Unchanged, While Four States Show
Lower Averages.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The August
crop report of the department of agricul-
ture makes the condition of cotton
| 1913, an advance of nearly two points
during the month. Since 1880 this
average has been exceeded but three
times, in 1882, 1889 and 1887. An i'm
provement is noted in five states, two re-
port the same condition, while Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee and Missis-
sippi show lower averages than a month
ago. Rains have been frequent and gen.
eral during the month except in portions
of Texas, and in many dis
tricts they have been excessive.
The damage where reported is attributed
to excess of moisture and consequent in
ability to keep the crop clean. Some
fear is expressed of too heavy growth of
stalk, rendering injury liable should dry
weather set in.
North Carolina has had too much rain
delaying cultivation, but the weed shows
good growth.
In South Carolina the condition has
been improved by a good season, though
there was some local damage from ex-
cess of rain.
Alabama returns show the crop in a
promising condition.
Mississippi reports the condition lower
than a month ago on account of excessive
rainfall. The crop was late from slow
termination and on many plantations is
now badly in the grass and is not fruiting
well.
Louisiana has enjoyed frequent rains,
rather too much for the bottom lands,
and the crop has rank growth of weed.
Portions of Texas were in need
of rain on the first OF the month,
though no damage had yet resulted. In
other districts too much rain had put the
fields somewhat in the grass, but q few
days of dry weather would enable plant
ers to remedy this.
In Arkansas the early season was not
favorable and the plant was small and
late, but favorable weather during July
has placed it in a vigorous condition and
it is improving rapidly.
Tennessee's condition has fallen off
during the month. The stand was gen.
orally poor and late, and excessive mois-
ture has prevented proper cultivation.
The averages of condition by states
are: Virginia, 60; North Carolina, 80;
South Carolina, so; Georgia, 91; Flor
ida, 95; Alabama, 80; Mississippi, So;
Louisiana, 90; Texas, 81; Arkansas, 90;
Tennessee, IS. The caterpillar and boil
worm are occasionally mentioned in
Mississippi and Louisiana and several
counties in Texas. But the damage
from them is as yet inappreciable.

There is continually e1

There is continually experiments being
made in crossing the different breeds of
cattle, with view of course by many
of getting a better type, a more profit
able cattle and with some the hope of
creating a new breed, a marvel, a
wonder TO the world. very striking
feature in these experiments is, they are
conducted almost without an exception
by the novice, the beginner, the man
who suddenly struck q fortune and don It
know how to dispose of it, and fancies
he is an admirer of fine stock, and
realizes within himself the ability to ac-
cOmplish more in one cross than the old
breeders have done in a lifetime. There
is always one or two of these men
in every community. We know of
one now who is going to produce a
new and superior breed of milk
cattle by crossing the Jersey and Hol-
stein. There is one thing he will accom-
plish at once; he will rum his eligibility
to registration in either Holstein or Jer-
sey record, and he will also get a stock
OF cattle, however meritorious as indi-
vidual mixers, they will not sell for
more than grade prices, although they
combine fine breeding, and each recog-
niZed as valuable breed for the pur-
pose claimed. Bring forward the man
who as an experimental has arose to any
prominence as a breeder; we will
surround him with an army of men
who as careful and systematic
breeders are to-day prominent before
the world for their skill in developing
and perfecting characteristics in estab-
lished breeds. Life is too short for these
experiments. Take up the certainties
where the successful breeder has left off,
and strive to improve on these by the
same careful, studiOus, systematic prin-
ciples of mating that has crowned with
success hundreds of American breeders
whose work now stands a most fitting
monument to their Efforts Western

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 1O.-Patrick Calhoun,
general counsel for the West Point Terminal, and
D. Williamson, president of the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus railroad, left the city late
last night for some point out of the state. Their

Williamson sent reply refusing further com

being felony to send a challenge in Georgia.
Both men left last night presumably for the

affair has created a great sensation. Patrick
Calhoun is q grandson of John c.. Calhoun, and
probably the most prominent railroad lawyer in
the South. Williamson is well known through

Patrick Egan Demonstrates to the President
of Chill that He Has Kissed the Blarnsg

VALPARAISO, Chilli, Aug. 1O-The following is
the text of Minister Egan S speech to the presi-
dent of Chill:
Mr.. PREsIDENT-In presenting my credentials
as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary of the United States, it is my duty to adj
dress to your excellency few words expressive
of the kindly feeling which the peo-
pie of my country entertain for
the patriotic, the gallant, the progress
sive and generous hearted people OF Chilli over
whose destinies as chief magistrate you have
been called on to preside. 1 trust that you will
accept this assurance that 1 speak in mere
terms of conventionality when 1 say that that
feeling is of the very highest esteem and
most sincere friendship, and that 1T is the earn
est desire of my government that the cordial re-
lationS nov prevailing between the two nations
may never be destroyed by the shadow of even
passing cloud of misunderstanding. The
commercial congress to assemble in Washington
in October next, at which l am glad to know that
Chill has already decided to be represented,
must be productive of great good. It will give
to the people OF North and South America an
opportunity for becoming better acquainted with
each others opinions, aspirations, productions
and requirements, and by creating and fostering
closer commercial relations must tend to their
mutual advancement and serve the best interests
of both. Animated as our people are by the same
indomitable spirit of progress, and the same in
tense love of country there is one sentiment
which will, l feel assured, find a responsive
echo in the hearts of every patriotic citizen of
Chill as well as of the United States The senti-
ments America for Americans does not mean
South America for North America. but the
wealth, resources. prosperity, progress and hon
or of each one of our American nationalities for
its own people, all cooperating tremendously
for the advancement of the greatness and glory
of our American hemisphere. In this spirit the
United States extends her most cordial greeting
to her sister Republic of Chilli
