out an elfiptical piece of flesh two
inches long and one inch wide, the

WEATHER AND CROPS.
-ilI Reports Of Growing Cotton and
Corn Are Observation-Disclosures
Estimate OF the Acreage in Cotton.

New Orleans Picayune June Il:
he past week has been generally a
Favorable period in the cotton belt.
There has been rather more ram
imam actually required in the east
rrn portiuiS OF the belt, but there IS
no complaint that the amount OF
HujSlurr has been excessive. In the
western half Of the belt. particular
N in Oklahoma and north Texas,
there was some complaint OF lack
of moisture. but this condition has
been relieved by good rains during
the second half of the week. While
temperatures were rather lower
than normal early in The period
under review. the weather was in
no sense too cold and has been fol-
lowed by a decidedly higher tenn
perature. particularly in Texas and
Oklahoma.
All reports as to the growing. crop
Of cotton have been favorable. The
fine weather Of May and the early
part of June permitted rapid pro
grcss in chOpping out the crop and
termination and growth Rr2re facilf-
tated. As result the progress
made recently has been rapid and
The crop as a whole is now in a nor
NAL condition for this period Of the
season. In many part of the south
ern half Of The belt blooms have
| been reported and in southern Tex
as hollis have formed, making it
| likely that considerable cotton will
be marketed from that section dur
| ing the mOnth>Of July.
There is still a good deal of dis
cussiOn as to the acreage plant ed.
| While nearly every one looks for a
! decrease to he shown by the gov
eminent report due early in July, it
is moro than probable that the de-
crease will be less than is Indicated
by several private estimates already
made public. In the overlooked dis
tricts cotton has been planted as
| fast as the water receded and the
present prospect is that there will
he only a very moderate acreage
lost as result of the spring floods.
: The weather of late has been fav-
orablc 70 the rapid progress of the
corn crop, and although the condi-
ton is hardly up to that of last sea-
son at this time, there is reasonable
prospect of a fairly good yield. The
rice crop is making fairly good
progress and the rapid fall in the
river makes it probable that plant
ers will have to resort to pumping
before the season is much older.
/ In the sugar belt the crop has
been retarded by rather lower tenn
peratures than may be considered
normal and field work has been
made backward by the necessity for
employing so many of the field
hands on the ieVees,

ROOSEVELT BOLT.
How the Rough Rider Would Figure
In the Electoral College.

Arkansas Gazette: OF all the inter
esting stories that are coming out
of Chicago, none is more interesting
than the report that presidential
electors who are Roosevelt men
may, in the event of the nomination
of President Taft, vote in the Elec-
toral College for Roosevelt for
president e.
AS is we'll known, Republican vot-
Crs, for instance, will vote in No
vember as always not for the nOmi-
nee of the party, but for electors,
each State having as many as it has
senators and representatives. The
idea of the trainers of the Consti-
tuition was that these electors
should meet and select a president
and vice president of the United
States; that is, select men of their
own choice, just as the princes act
ing as electors in the old German
empire elected the emperor; and
just as the College of Cardinals
elects the pope. In fact, the popu-
lar designation of Electoral Col
lege" is supposed to have come by
analogy from the College of Car
dinals.
But, as is also we'll known, no
elector ever votes for anybody but
the nominee of his party for presi-
dent and vice president. Yet if Taft
should be nominated for president
at the Chicago convention and
should carry Pennsylvania, for ex-
| ample, the Pennsylvania electors
could vote for Theodore Roosevelt
or any other man for president Of
the United States.
For an -elector to vote for a man
other than the nominee of his party
would be unprecedented. But on
Wednesday at Chicago William
Finn, the new Republican leader of
Pennsylvania, who came to the top
in the Roosevelt sweep of that State
in the recent primaries, said 80 of
the SO presidential electors of his
State are for Roosevelt and IF they
are elected and the nomination is
stolen and given to President Taft,
these 80 will vote in the Electoral
College for ConOnel Roosevelt"
On the same day at Chicago Gov
prnor Glasscock of West Virginia
said that in his State the entire list
of Republican presidential electors
is for Colonel Roosevelt and will
vote for him-0r course provided
West Virginia goes Republican in
November.
Tt is of interest to note that until
about 1920-24 presidential electors
were appointed direct by the legis-
lature in most states. By 1924 they
were chosen by popular election in
all states but six, and by 1923 in all
hut one, this one being South Caro-
lima, in which, until 1868, presiden-
tial electors were named by the
Legislature instead of by popular
vote.
