According to Reuter- dispatch from
Stockholm. two of the Nobel prizes for
1915 will be awarded as follows:
Chemistry-Dr. Richard Willstaet
ter of the University of Berlin.
Physics--Divided between Prof. VIII.
liam Henry Bragg of the University OF
Leeds, and his son, w. L. Bragg OF
Cambridge university, for general re-
search in the structure OF crystals by
use Of the Roentgen rays.
This Is in conflict with dispatch
from Copenhagen, dated November g.
which stated that the Swedish gov
eminent had decided to give prizes In
physics to Thomas A. Edison and
Nikolai Tesla. and that Theodore
svedberg was to receive the prize in
chemistry. There have been so many
reports from Stockholm with respect

COTTON CONDITION
NOT SATISFACTORY
PICKING NOW GENERAL
SOME GROUND LOST IN LAST
FORTNIGHT FOLLOWING
THE HEAVY RAINS.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 13.-The
cotton crop failed to make normal
progress during the past fortnight,
according to reports of correspondents
of the Commercial Appeal. There was
some ground lost, as result OF she'd
ding following the heavy rains of two
weeks ago, and the increased activity
of the boil weevil, which have widen
ed their field of operations to include
portions of southern Georgia.
There are few good reports, where
progress is noted and good yield
seems to be indicated, but these are
in the minority. AS whole picking
to date indicates that the yield is to
be shorter than generally expected a
month or two ago. The failure OF the
rains Of late August to cause the plant
to take on new fruit is probably the
most conspicuous feature of the entire
report. But there appears to have
been no beneficial results from the
rains, except such as may have &C
crued from the filling out of immature
bolls.
!. Picking is more or less general in
most Of the belt. Labor is plentiful
and the Gro pis being harvested as
rapidly as it opens. In Oklahoma,
however, the crop is very late and
little progress in picking has been
made.
There is much diversity of opinion
among farmers as to whether they
will sell at present prices or hold for
higher values. 1t is probable, how
ever, that selling will be rather free
until pressing obligations are met,
after which relatively good prices will
be necessary to attract cotton to mar
ket.
