The weekly crop report issued from the weather bureau at Montgomery for the week ending June states the rains have been very beneficial in the southern and southeastern counties but that the cool weather last week injured crops slightly. The report Is as follows:

The growth of young corn and cotton was checked by the cold, and in northern counties, some late corn and cotton are not yet up and may have to be replanted, unless a good rain Is received soon. Early cotton is practically all chopped, stands are fair to good. and, though somewhat checked by recent cool nights, 1t is gen. erally healthy and well cultivated, with squares becoming more general; there are a few reports of insects, but not enough to cause any serious damage as yet. Old corn Is clean. and promising; most of 1t has been worked out. and considerable has been "laid by" though there are a few complaints of its silking low. Late corn and cotton, as a whole. are not promising, the stands being irregular. and worms are still damaging young corn in many localities. Oats are being har- vested quite generally, with the yield poor in northern and north central coun- ties to fair In middle and southern dis tricts: wheat continues unpromising. ow- ing to lack of moisture in the principal wheat counties. and not much of 1t has been cut Cane, peanuts, field peas sweet potatoes and gardens are making slow. but favorable progress, except in north ern counties, where gardens are much parched.

 The morning was taken up in hearing reports from the various elders. This af- ternoon a religious meeting was held, to which the public was invited, President Rich making the address. There were but few outsiders present. the average people seemingly taking but little inter- est in the Mormons.

Scottsboro, June 5.-(Special) - The commencement exercises of the Scotts- boro Baptist Institute began last Thurs day evening, May 29, and closed Sunday, June 1.
 Thursday and Friday evenings were de- voted to entertainments by the school. which were of a most enjoyable char aoter. A large crowd was present each night and the entertainment was a credit to those who participated as well as to their teachers.
 On Saturday morning the literary ad dress was delivered by Rev. D. Shel- burne, of Birmingham. lis subject was "Education an Essential Element in Leadership" This was one of the most thoughtful and inspiring addresses ever heard in Scottsboro.
 On Saturday evening at 8 o'clock the pupils of the music department gave a recital. This was a very pleasing fea- ture of the commencement exercises and displayed the great progress that the pupils of the department have made dur ing the year. At the close of the even ing's exercises the medals and prizes were awarded.
 At the beginning of the year the board of trustees offered gold medal to the advanced pupils or the music depart ment. This was so closely contested for during the year by Misses Luella But Ter and Vickie Kyle that at tho close of the years work the record showed a tie and so 1t was decided to award a medal to each. The prize offered by the principal of the department, Mrs. Mary c. Ivy, to the intermediate pupils, was awarded to Miss Annie Jacobs. The prize offered to the primary pupils was won by Miss Ethel Tarpey. Hon. Virgil Boun din with that ease and grace chara~t,r- istio of him, presented the prizes. n-Ak- ing a few appropriate remarks.
