The Bap- lists of Alabama have given more than in any years of their history.

The Galveston Dallas News will say tomorrow morning that the acreage in Texas and the Indian and Oklahoma Territories show an increase os e.1 per cent over last year; and that the con dition of the crop in the territories is twentY-one per cent, inferior to what it was at this time in 1906 and in Texas 21.9 per cent. worse in condition.
 The crop Is from ten days to four weeks late. owing to unfavorable weather in the spring. The stand is poor and the plant has not fruited we'll Taken as a whole. the crop Is unusual lv backward. During the last four weeks. however. the weather has been ideal and this has caused rapid inn movement in the situation. A feature of the reports collected is the fre- ouent reference they contain to the work of the boil weevil
 One hundred and nine counties and districts report this pest to be doing more or less damage In many in- stances. tie pest is stinging the souares as fast as they forms. Be- cause of the late season twenty-nine counties and districts report that it had been necessary to replant three or four times and this has made 1t prac- tically certain that much of the crop, wil be very late.

UNCLE SAM LARGEST
LAND HOLDER IN WORlD

Uncle Sam is the largest holder OF
land in the world. He nov holds
l56, 900, 900 acres of national forests
He permits these forests to be grazed
under certain regulations and is there
by, public benefactor, but he is a
strict landlord, when it comes to tres
passing. During the past year, he has
prosecuted 1873 treSpassers and col
lected over S., 800 damages from them.
Aside from the l56, 200, 600 acres of
forestry, Uncle Sam owns about 3,000,-
900, 900 of public range, and a bill was
introduced in Congress last year by
Rep. Burkett TO apply regular sys-
tenn of permits to owners of cattle
and sheep for the use of these ranges
1t is estimated that the rentage would
amount in all .to$60O, 900 year, and
all OF that income is now lost with
out such system.
