Crop conditions in my county ar
about as promising as l have ever

ton: I'VE have had much better
promise of a successful crop in Hous-

corn is looking fine"

they are in very much better spirits
over the crop prospect this year than
they were last year Cotton is small,

One Of the greatest organizations of
savants in the world, the Royal So
ciety of London, will celebrate its
birthday today, having been founded
April %, 1862. During the last year or
two the venerable society has been ag-
itated by a proposal to admit women
to membership, but so far has re-
sisted that innovation, although it
now permits lady servants to read
papers at meetings and to use the So
ciety's library. In holding out against
the fair sex the Royal Society is al
most alone among British learned so
cieties. The Royal Geographical So
ciety recently capitulated before the
demands of the ladies and now adj
mits fair geographere to full fellow
ship. The Lifnean Society makes no
distinction of sex, and women are
eligible to hold office as we'll as be
long" The same is true of the Brit
ish Astronomical Association. Other
learned organiza tions admitting won-
en- include the Royal Horticultural,
Numismatic, Photographic, Statistical,
Mathematical Mtcroscopical, Historf-
cal, Anthropologica1 and Meteorologi-
cal societies. The Geographical and
Chemical societies. with the Royal
Society, are making last stand
against the fair sex

on none more violently than hypno-
