that happened in the United States which should not happen. in view of inducing it to deal more scharitably with Turkey.
 T am convinced I was morally right in adopting this course. There are times and this is one of them when conventions can be set aside. The in terests of humanity should not be sac rificed to them
 The ambassadors statement which underwent the scrutiny of officials and caused the inquiry, charged first that Great Britain was attempting to draw the United States into the Euro pean war by asking that American warships go to Turkey. agitating be- fore the eye of the United States the spectre of a massacre of Christians He explained that while there had been some massacres in Turkey. the victims suffered not as Christians but as po- litieal agitators engaged in undermin- ing the Ottoman states.''
 Criticized Nations
 The ambassador spoke of the acts of other foreign people under provoca- ton. mentioning Russia, and then said:
 And since q large number of Ameri- can papers are siding with Great Brit ain and France in this affair I will per- init myself to say that the thought of lynching which occur in the United States and the memory of the water cures in the Philippines should make them chary of attacking Turkey in con neetion with acts of savagery com nitted by her by provocation, compared with which the economic competition of an alien or the sniping of Filipino or even the outrage of a negro are a $ nothing. Supposing. for the sake of argument. what in reality never could happen. that the negroes were discov- cred to be engaged in a conspiracy with the Japanese to facilitate the in- vasion of the United States by the lat ter. how many of them would be left alive to tell the tale"
 The foregoing paragraph caused con siderable discussion in diplomatic and official circles. but the delicacy of the present European situation, it Is known, led the President and Secretary Bryan to the conclusion that what might be regarded as an indiscreet statement in time of peace could be ignored at present on account of the critical situation produced by the Eu- ropean war. s-t.

Reduction Urged

It was pointed out today that further federal measures to aid the cotton men might bring down on the government a demand from other sections for similar assistance. Those familiar with condi- tions in the cotton growing states say that it has been demonstrated for years that a reduction in the amount of the crop would work no hardship. but be to the advantage of the producer. Past ef- forts to insure such reduction, however. have failed and the chief hope now is in legislation which would tax over-pro- duction.
 Those interested believe that reduc- ton in cotton growing would mean that thousands of acres of productive land in the south would be turned over to other and more profitable crops, which would insure a market for the cotton produced. The proposed conference Of governors of southern states. recently suggested by the governor of Alabama, Is attracting atten- ton in this connection.

Wilson Asks Investigation

Washington, September n.-President Wilson early today wrote Secretary Bryan to inquire of A. Rustem Bey, the Tur- kish amba ssador. if recent published statement attributed to him was authen- tic. The ambassador conferred with MT Bryan at the state department and after ward the secretary conferred with the President.
 < The ambassador, it is understood. ex- plained the statement as published was accurate but was intended in no way to reflect on the United States govern ment. It was. understood the incident will be closed with this explanation.
 During the day there had been pub lished reports that the recall of the ambassador might be sought but Secre- tary Bryan said the reports were with out authority.
 Late tonight the ambassador authorized the following statement:
 Tn the presence of the importance given to the statement made by me a few days back and arising out of the rumors sedulously disseminated in the United States that general massacre of Christians was in preparation in Fur key, it may serve a good purpose to explain that, according to me, great responsibility rests at the present mo- ment on the press of the United States, especially in regard to Turkey. where the situation is naturally strained.

The grain ration is necessary for

corn and small grain and since plant
ing there has been sufficient moisture
to keep crops coming up splendid1y.
Prospects for corn were never bet
ter at this season of the year. In
fact the crop is much farther ad-
vanced than usual.
Throughout the state as whole
the small grain crop is good. Farmers
began cutting wheat and rye the third
week of this month and both crops
appear to be fully up to the average.
In southern Iowa oats are reported as
having short stem, but as hewing
out well.
In northern Iowa where rains have
been more general oats have grown
rather rank, having more stem, but
not such heavy heads. It is predicted
the crop will be better than the aver
age
The Iowa hay crop, however, is not
up to the average because OF dry
weather. In northern Iowa normal
conditions prevail, but in southern
Iowa only about half the crop is being
cut. Prospects for potatoes are good.
Reports from southwestern Iowa indi-
cate there will be a large grape crop
In that section and also a good apple
crop.
