CROPS BETTER.
Conditions Are Improved In Taflapoosa
County.

Dadeville, July ESPECIAL. Crop con-
ditions in this section have very ma
terially improved in the last few days
and the farmers are becoming more en-
couraged over the outlook. OF course they
are from 10 days to three weeks later
than usual, butt with few exceptions
the crops have been cleaned out and with
good seasons from now on average crops
should be made.
The red lands are far ahead Of the gray,
as they stand wet weather far better. In
fact South Alabama visitors who attend
ed the monster picnic at Horseshoe Bend
assert that the crops on the red lands
around Dadeville are far better than any
they have seen.
A fine grain crop was made here, one
man threshing out 1853 bushels of oats
from one acre of ground and this Is prob
ably record in the state. The corn CROP
Is practically made, one more good rain
insuring 1t, and with the cotton coming
fast every day and every prospect for
good prices for it, the Tallapoosa farmer
should be In good shape this fall.

COTTON CROP NOT
BADLY DAMAGED

Florence, July Especial Judging by
reports from other parts of the state,
Lauderdale county is a highly favored
section. There has been too much rain,
especially in the west end Of the county,
but SO far as the cotton crop is concerned
the damage to date has not been ire
parable. AS conditions now are the crop
Is off about 20 per cent, but with 10
days of good weather conditions will i'm
prove wonderfully. The amount of the
rainfall has varied greatly In different
parts of the county. In the west 1t has
been excessive, in the northeast consid-
erably less and in the southeast, fine
farming section, crops have suffered very
little. About 5 per cent has not been
cultivated at all and will be abandoned.
Labor is abundant and since the last
rain, which fell Tuesday, the work of
rescuing cotton from the weeds has pro-
crossed rapidly
The condition of corn Is less encourag-
ing Much of the land usually put in corn
has not been planted, and 1t is too late
now to make a good crop. and in the
west end much corn has been drowned
out Little attention will be paid to
other crops, all efforts being concentrated
on cotton.

crowd Of men and women packed the
summer theatre at Oakland park last
night to listen to addresses by Adjt.
Marie Graham and Ensign Florence An
derson of the Salvation Army and Miss
Ella Groenendyke of New Decatur pre-
sided over the meeting.
Both Miss Graham and Miss Ander-
son made interesting talks and told Of
thir work in the various branches of
the Salvation Army in Canada, the
United States and other parts of the
world. The relating of some Of their
experiences in rescuing fallen women
was most pathetic and brought tears
to the eyes of many OF their listen
ers.
This afternoon Miss Graham talk ed
to women only at the Central Methodist
church in New Decatur. They will re-
main in the Decaturs the greater part
of the week and will make a numb r
of talks while here.
These ladies have charge of the Res
cue Home for fallen women in Bir-
mingham. They have had more than
20 years experience in this work. They
gave as their reason for so many fall
len women in the world that there were
not the right kind Of mothers, that
mothers failed to teach their daughters
in the way they should go-''in the way
that God intended them to live"
