Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala, July S.-Ala-
bama's cotton crop is in a bad condition.
This is the statement of State Commits
sioner of Agriculture r. F. Kolb. Under
the most favorable conditions the yield
will not be normal, thinks the commits
sioner.
The crop is from two to four weeks
late and is spotted a great deal. Unless
special precautions are taken, cotton
worms will attack the tender stalks
soon.
Conditions have been practically I'M
changed in Alabama since the govern
ment report of July g." said the commits
sioner, trains have retarded cultivation
and have caused weeds and grass to
grow. Owing to the ext 'eme scarcity of
labor it will be hard to eradicate the
grass unless favorable weather comes
at once"
The poor condition is not confined to
any particular section, says Commission
er Kolb, but is of general nature.
County agents report that the crop in
Montgomery county is no better than in
other parts Of Alabama. One estimate
is that the state cannot make more than
1S,5OO,O0O bales. This is compared with
100000 last year.

Mr.. Roosevelt for this section of the
state, but from present indications it

been received from headquarters in At

here and by others that it is probably
supposed might be induced to fall into
line for an organization or a club

With very few exceptions those who
have declared themselves publicly as
Roosevelt men are of the colored per-
suasion and unless they can find some
leader to inaugurate the movement it is
doubtful If it materiallzes.
