Crop Summary Week Ending
July 18th. a

Extremely favorable reports on
the weeks developments in cot
ton fields are received from the
central states where the supply
of moisture from recent rains
has been abundant. In Georgia
and the Carolinas there are
home dry areas, which send in
complaints, though as a whole
these states have done and are
still doing well, and the plant is
fruiting splendidly. In Texas
and Oklahoma complaints arise
more generally from high tenn
peratures than lack of rainfall
and it is frequently stated by
correspondents that modera-
ton of the heat will abate such
complaints as arise. A limited
portion of Central Texas and
some sections of the west seem
in need of rain, but elsewhere in
the state there is enough mois-
ture for present needs.
There is universal report of
heavy fruiting. Nowhere has
the plant attained a rank
growth. 1t is on the contrary,
stocky, and healthy and well
loaded with squares and young
bolls. 1t remains understood in
localities but this is a much less
general fact than two weeks ago.

Decrease in Beef Cattle.

Judson C.. Welliver, Washing
ton correspondent at Farm and
Fireside, writing an article in
the current issue of that publ
cation entitled, "The Farmer and
the Future" publishes many in
teresting facts. An extract
from his article follows:
an six years past there has
been a decline of over thirty per
cent. in the number of beef cat
tie in the country. At the be-
ginning of 1907 there were, by
the Department estimates, ST.
$4,000 beef cattle in the coun-
try, while on the same date this
year the number was only &c.
100000. Not only this. Over
half the meat animals are killed
under government inspection.
The number of them thus killed
was thirteen per cent, less in the
first three months of 1918 than
in the like period Of 1912. Here
is the statistical dope on it.:
q 7"F'irst three months of 1912,
1,753,882 cattle, 458,309 calves,
10,149.O88 hogs, 3,640,290
sheep; total 16,OO1,5 $50.
"First three months of 1913,
1,595,593 cattle, 398,843 calves,
1886, 421 hogs, 2,O36,54S sheep
total 13,916,396.
"A steady decrease right
down the line. 1t can't be ac-
counted for on any other as
sumption that the market has
been bad, for we all know prices
and demand have been highly
favorable. Thus at Chicago the
1912 average price for native
steers was $7.95, as against
$3.50 in 1911-an increase OF
over twenty-five per cent. Hogs
showed an increase from $6.7(
to $7.65, or little more thar
fourteen per cent.
"The Department heads tel
me that they are going to devote
much effort to encouraging the
production of meat in the East
and South. They believe there
is a great field for missionary
work in these sections" f7'"H'L

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth of Drug Habit in United States
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That 80 per cent. of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. L. F. Kebler,
Chief Of the Division of Drugs, Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement,
concerning the appalling growth of
drug addiction in the United States,
was made by DR.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent. in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men were not discriminating
! enough in their use Of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, is creating thousands of drug
users every year.
ut is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. Estate
laws are not saving the public from
the grip of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss Of
the morphine and cocaine fiend.
"The worst of it is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. I have heard it said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. of the CO.
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with Dr. Keb-
ler's address, DR.. J. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, in public
statement said that 10 out Of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.
