Especial to the Observer)
New York, June 6-The Journal Of
Commerce will tomorrow publish its
June cotton report covering acreage
and condition. The report has been
delayed one week, owing to the back
wardness Of planting. About 1900
correspondents have been heard from,
the average date Of replies being
May 3Oth, as at that date planting
was still incomplete and the replies
indicated an increase in acreage Of
IL per cent. This is less than ex-
pected in view of the high price Of
cotton, and less than the best infor-
nation suggested a month ago. So
much cotton has been plowed up and
replanted that it is still too early to
ascertain the facts as to acreage with
satisfactory reliability. When re-
planting is finished it is quite possible
that the above increase in acreage
vii be augmented.
Reports of conditions are exceed
ingly poor, the replies indicating a con-
dltion Of SO per cent, compared with
80 per cent in 1906, and TIA in 1905.
This is 1.5 per cert lower than the
June government report which placed
the condition at 70.5 per cent, the
lowest condition on record at this
season. Too low temperatures and
too much precipitation were the
causes of low condition. While a
late season is not always bad sea-
son, good weather is much needed to
improve the condition and the pros
poets are that there will be a good
demand for all the crops at profta-
BILE prices to the growers.
Comparing with last year 8 acreage
North Cardinals figures show 1881
per cent, South Carolina 127 per
cent, Georgia 1O1 per cent, Florida
1927 per cent, Alabama 97.2 per cent,
Mississippi 95 per cent; Texas 1865
per cent; Arkansas 97.6 per
cent; Tennessee 97.1 per cent; Mis-
souri, 1919 per cent, Indian Territory
1O3 per cent, Oklahoma 116 per cent.
AS already stated, the total acreage is
IL per cent over that planted last
year. So far as the figures Of condi-
ton are concerned, North Carolina is
8O.2 against rs last June; South Caro-
lima, IT against S16; Georgia, ISL
against S5.7; Florida. 800, against
s4.1; Alabama GIG, against 1913; Mis-

WINTER PASTURE.


Because the green bugs ate up your
wheat last spring. don't be caught
mapping and fail to provide winter
pasture. Even If you do nothing
more than to SOW wheat in the corn
field. it will pay you, There is less
trouble from corn stalk disease when
the cattle have green wheat to Keep
the mi ncondition. A dry stalk field
is mighty slim picking after the wind
has whipped the blades OFF.
II pasture alone is wanted, rye Is
perhaps better than wheat. 1t Is hard
Ter and often makes more of growth
The dry weather in some sections
has left the ground so hard that 1t Is
difficult to prepare for wheat. When
pasture alone Is wanted, the seeding
should be as early as possible. II
wheat is put in as soon in September
as the ground can be got in condition
early pasture will be had and better
growth than If seeding is put OFF until
cold weather.

II the forage is to be fed to stock

willquickly pay for themselves Crops
that are to be harvested for their seed
should be cut somewhat before they
are dead ripe. II left until fully ripe
before harvesting is begun much of
the crop may become too ripe before
it is completed, resulting ina great
loss Of grain by shattering when It
is being hauled. This is particularly
true In dry farming districts for the
reason that the atmosphere is usually
rather dry. and there 1t quickly re-
moves the moisture from the crop
when nearly ripe. 1t is important to
provide granaries for the storage OF
grain. Provision should not only be
made in this way against the damage
that may occur from the weather. but
also for protection against insects and
yermin.

ATuinoreite Special.
Washington, ID. c., Sept. 17.-So
heavy has the work of the Inter
state Commerce Commission become
that 1t has been determined to an.
point several special examiners to
take evidence. in cases that are to
be heard outside of the city OF
Washington. \ few cases will be
heard by the full commission in
Washington, but they will be only
the most important complaints. in.
yolving points of the Interstate Com.
merce Act.
The examiners to be appointed
probably will begin their work about
the LIST of October. Thus far, none
has been appointed, but those who
are to be named by the commission
will be trained lawyers, men of stand.
ing and experience in the law, who
will devote their entire time to
the work of the commission.
The examiners will be in the ma.
ture of masters in chancert. 1t will
be their mission to develop. with
the assistance of special attorneys
of the commission, the facts con-
corning any cases they may hear
They will direct the examination of
witnesses. determine what is com.
petent in the way of testimony and
duced properly. They then will sub
nit the evidence TO the commission,
with such comments as they may
care to make on 1t and the commits
sion will prepare its decisions from
this presentation of the case.
While 1t is the intention OF the
commission now TO appoint only two
or three such examiners. 1t is re-
garded as only a question of a COM
paratively short time until there
will have to be as many special ex-
aminers as there are commissioners.
Judge Martin \. Knapp, chairman
of the commission, is of opinion
that, If the work of the body should
continue to increase as 1t has in
creased during the past year or two,
1t will be but a brief time until the
commission, now one OF the new In.
dependent bureaus of the government
will become a department, the head
OF which will be a member OF the
cabinet. In the past two years. the
force OF the commission, In clerks,
special agents and attorneys, has
been doubled. 1t is the purpose OF
the commission to ask congress, at
ne approaching session, larger pa
.p.ypriation than has been requested
and such showing will be made
that the request will have to be
granted.
