FLORENCE cRlTEN70N HOME
DOING GREAT WORK IN
s. = THE STATE
Ten Thousand Dollars Needed to Fin
|ish Payment on New Building
Erected In Fargo.

Among the visitors recently arrtv-
ing in the capital city Is Miss Eliza
beth G. Biggs, field worker from the
national headquarters of the Florence
Crittenton Home at Washington .. c.
Miss Biggs is spending a few wAeks
in the state in the interests Of the
North Dakota Florence Crittenton
Home at Fargo. She will work both
in Bismarck and Mandan during her
stay here.
Miss Biggs is here for the purpose
of raising funds for the new mission
at Fargo. The mission has recsuuly
constructed handsome $4,000 build
ing. There has been raised to date
only $4,000 of this amount, and Miss
Biggs is endeavoring to raise the
other $4,000, or a large portion Of it
at least.
The North Dakota Florence Crit
tenton mission is doing great work.
but they have been handicapped to
large extent in past years owing to
lack of room. Only last gear there
were over fifty unfortunate girls
whose cases could not he cared for
by the mission because It had no
place for them. The new misticn
building will doubtless ame1lorate
these conditions.
There are at the present time lit
tie girls twelve and fourteen years
of age, who are little mothers and,
who have come under the care u tine
Florence CrIttenton workers. One
little girl, only twelve years Of age,
who is a little mother, is suffering
from tuberculosis and has to live
out of doors In a tent. Miss Biggs
will remain in the city for Two or
three years to assist In the local
work.

where severe droughts and hot
winds and worms caused heavy she'd
ding.
Well informed and conservative
correspondents incline to the belief
that the deterioration shown in this
months crop reports has been un-
duly exaggerated, consciously or un-
consciously, by the active agitation
in the cotton belt against large crop
estimates. These returns must,
therefore. be accepted accordingly,
and due allowance made for popular
lies.
In 1905 the August condition re-
ported in these columns was 72.4 per
cent, or about the same as this year.
In 1905 the crop was 1O,726.O 900
bales, or a yield OF Al bales per
acre. Should the same rate of Yield
be realized this year, it would sug.
gest a crop Of not less than 14,3OO, 900

Since the date OF these mail ad-
vices general rains have greatly re-
'ieved conditions and considerable i'm
provement is expected. Other heavy
losses occurred in Georgia, 1913
