The operation proved futile. however, and she gradually grew worse until death relieved her sufferings.

lR. HAY IN MONTGOMERY

Hon. Willett M Hayes, Assistant See retary of Agriculture, who spent yes terday in Montgomery. and left on an evening train for Nashville spoke with enthusiasm of the progress Alabama Is making in agricultural education and of the fertility of the soils which he has spent ten days in examining.
 MT. Hays came to Montgomery yes terday morning from Auburn making the trip by private conveyance so as to best study rural conditions. He spent the day resting at the Imperial Hotel. He was accompanied by W. G. Smith, who has had charge of soil survey parties in Sumter and Blount Counties during the past year and a half.
 The tour of MT. Hays through Ala bama included trips by team from Attalla to Blount Springs and from Montgomery to Auburn inspecting the work of soil survey parties. Besides the Agricultural College and Central Experiment Station at Auburn, visits were made to the agricultural high schools and agricultural experiment stations at Blountville and Wetumpka, and the Tuskegee Normal Institute and experiment station.
 The secretary will stop at the agri- cultural school at Athens on his way to West Baden, Ind. where he is to make an address on breeding horticul- tural crops before the American Nurse- rymens Association.
 Mir. Hays Is an educator of national repute; he has for many years taken a leading part in agricultural work, and is particularly fitted for the posi- tion to which he was recently called by the government
 Farm Education.
 He is about 50 years old and was ap- pointed from Minnesota. He says he has gotten a good review of the soil survey work of Alabama, and has seen much of the general method of farm ing in vogue in this State. He is especially interested in the education of farm boys and farm girls in the South, as was outlined in his address before the State Educational Association in Montgomery last Thursday. He has spent a portion of his sojourn in the State Investigating the courses of study in the rural schools in the nine agricul- tural thigh schools and the agricultural college In connection with the new move ment to make education in farming and country life more universal To a representative of The Advertiser MT. Hays said:
 'The agricultural colleges. the expe- riment stations and the State and National Departments of Agriculture have already accumulated facts suf- acient to make a splendid course of study for farm boys and girls. These facts secured by large expenditures of money by all civilized countries during generation past are being rapidly made adaptable to the schools and farmers of each State by the respective colleges and experiment stations. and the time has come to begin a general campaign for education for farm man. agement and country home making,

 Dallas, Tex, June l4.-John T. Gar nett. business agent and manager Of inc cotton department of the Farmers Union. has issued a cotton crop report '.showing reduction of cotton as per sworn statements from union and non- union farmers throughout the Southern cotton belt"
 He says that about Jan. l 15o,OO0 cot ton coupons were sent out to members of the union, on which coupons the farmers were each to state what theiK cotton acreage was last year and to write a pledge that 1t would not exceed a given number of acres this year. He adds:
 T have had every coupon tabulated, and the full report shows reduction in cotton acreage of 30 1-3 per cent. The late cold, wet weather has caused stiIl greater reduction in acreage; then the web. or, as some call it. the care less worm. is stripping the foliage on af thousands of acres all over Texas most of which will have to be planted over even at this late date.
 At the present outlook, this years crop will not exceed S.o0o.Oo0 baies-~
