 The report is accompanied by the following statement signed by Charles l.. Gay as Secretary of the County As sociation:
 "As is well known it is customary in this County to plant corn across cotton, to zigzag across also two rows of corn and six or eight of cotton. This planting of corn in cotton has been largely practiced this year. and more so than usual, which accounts Tor the large increase in corn, and conse- uuent reduction in cotton.
 This report was based on reports made at the last meeting of the Asso- citation, June 10, and shows the forced reduction from work of the Associa- ton, and not the further reduction caused by wet weather and scarcity of labor"

MRS. CRAIGHEAD WRITES
 OF MRS. MO.RISETTE,

-
 Mobile Register.
 The Alabama Federation of wo- mems Clubs suffers a distinct loss in the death of Mrs E. P. Morrissette of Montgomery.
 Almost from the beginning of the organization she was with it in all 1t has undertaken that was of any moment to children. to women. or to the State, and always she was in the front rank of its forceful. sfficent workers.
 Few of the women who were at sel- ma. one of the earliest meetings, will to them by Mrs. Morrissette for some action looking to an improvement of the educational conditions of Alabama, for in this appeal was made known to them for the first time by careful, painstaking array of facts, statistics and comparisons. set forth in exquis- itelv chosen words and figures of speech. voiced in tones of pleading sympathy, the educational needs of their native State. In enthusiasm for advancing this work, in unremitting labor for 1t. Mrs. Morrissetts mover wavered or flagged.
 Indeed. this may truthfully be said of every good work that she endorsed and undertook to further, for she bore the brunt of both the business struggles and the literary efforts of the short lived but much loved and praised "Wo- mans Work" the little magazine which for a short while served the Federation so well as its own indepen- dent official organ.
 The educational work, the free and loan scholarship funds. the child labor law, the reform school, each and every good cause. had from time to time the help of Mrs. Morrissette's forceful, graceful. ever-ready pen. and her prompt, magnetic and per- severing personal efforts as well. so that there cannot be recalled sim gle cause of the meritiorius ones un- dertaken by the Federation either alone or in cooperation. which did not at some time gain by the men, tai strength and energy of this vivid personality whose body. apparently frail, encased a soul of purity. fire and courage which shone through 1t with a radiance like unto that of the Holy Grail.
 She was, indeed. a Sir Galahad among women, no one of whom ever called upon her, busy as she always was, for help in club or personal work without finding sympathetic prompt helper.
 rms one' ol the many "ho sonh times leaned upon her, and who had besides the happiness of her personal acauaintance and friendship, asks the mournful privilege of paying this in- adequste tribute to her worth and charm in the columns dedicated to the service of the organization of which she was so often the inspiration. and always the unfailing. loving coadju- tor. ..

TEST MILK AND WATER
SAMPLES SENT FROM MONTGOM-

Physicians Aroused over Appearance of Fever Germh in Best Kept Sections of City and Sug-
 geat AnaIyals.

Samples of Montgomery milk and water will be sent to New Orleans this morning by express for the purpose of subjecting them to bactertolegicai analysis.
 During the past week Montgomery physicians have been puzzled by the appearance of fever cases in sections of the city that under ordinary cir cumstances would be free from dis ease There is no alarming prevalence of fever In the city but its appear ance in the best kept sections of the ciety and without apparent cause led the physicians to question if the fever germs were not due to foreign sub stances in the water or milk consumed by citizens.
 At conference between Acting Mayor c. F. Mcintyre and Dr. Robert Goldthwaite, City Physician. 1t was decided to send samples of all water ana all milk used by citizens of Mont gomery to New Orleans for expert examination. The samples of milk and water were secured yesterday by the City Physician and they will be ex- pressed to New Orleans this morning.
 The samples will include milk from every registered dairy supplying Mont gomery and wat from the standpipe. the pumping station. Electric Park and Pickett Springs.
 The City Sanitary Department is not equipped with apparatus sufficient for making the desired analysis and 1t was said that the chemical laboratory of the State at Auburn was closed un- til autumn.
 1t is expected tls,t report on the milk and water will be received from the New Orleans chemists within a week
 At the office of the City Physician yesterday 1t was said that there was not an exceptionally large number of cases of fever in Montgomery; that the analysis of the milk and water were to be made moro as q precaution
