My dear .Mf. Cullen: Inc call 10
the South for a Red Cross war fund
has been generously answered. Men
and women of every nationality and
station in life have alike contributed
to make this success. The war coun-
ell cannot directly express apprecia-
ton to every person who has render
ed service in this great movement,
but the success of the campaign
would be incomplete were we to fail
to convey personally our regard for
the splendid service rendered by the
men and women of Ocala' and Marion
county.
The tangible results accruing from
this campaign, great as they are, viii
be less than the intangible benefits,
just as the material gifts are small
in comparison with the giving of self.
It is the spirit of an army that wins
battles and the spirit of our citizens
is what viii determine our country's s
future.
Again assuring you of our appre-
citation, remain,
Very cordially yours,
W. r. Lunk,
Secretary for War Council.

President Wilson Turns Eighty Seven
German Vessels Over to the

Washington, July 1.-Eighty-seven
of the German merchant ships seized
in American ports at the outbreak OF
the war were turned over by Presi-
dent Wilson to the shipping board
yesterday for operation. The other
fourteen already are in possession OF

Title to the vessels was vested in
the president in resolution passed
by Congress in May. Many of them
already have been repaired and put
into service by the shipping board
which proceeded unoficially without
awaiting an executive order giving il
formal jurisdiction.
The total tonnage Of the eighty
seven ships exceeds 100000. Several
have gone to the war department for
transports.
The ships retained for commercial
service will be put for the most part

CALCULATIONS ON
COTTON CROP
Believed by Agricultural Department
that Tt Will be Almost
100000 Bales
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, June "A cotton crop
of 11,633,000 equivalent to 500-pound
bales this year was forecast today by
the department of agriculture In es-
timating that production the bureau
|cf crop estimates based it's calcula-
tions on the condition of the growing
crop on June 25 and the preliminary
estimate of this years acreage which
was announced today for the first
time. Last years crop was IL, ,449,-
$50 bales, in 1915 it was II, ,191 ,82O,
in 1914 the crop amounted to 1914.
$50 bales-was the largest ever
grown-and in 1913 it was Id, ,156, ,486
bales.
In its preliminary estimate of the
area of cotton in cultivation on June
25 this year, the bureau places the
figure at 34,6O0,O0O acres. That COM
pares with 36,052,000 acres, the re-
vised estimate of acreage in cultiva-
tion a year ago, and with 31,412,00O
acres harvested in 1915, 36,832,O
acres in 1914-the year of record pro-
duction-and 37,089,0 acres in 1913,
the year of record acreage.
The condition of the growing crop
on June 25 was 7O.3 per cent of a
normal, as compared with 69.5 on
May 25 this year, 81.1 on June 25
last year, and 800. the average con-
dition for the last ten years on June
|25. Condition in Georgia SO, South
Carolina II and Florida 79 per cent.
Since the May 25 report of the de-
partment of agriculture, placing the
condition of the crop at 69.5 per cent
of a normal was made, conditions
have not been generally favorable.
Toward the time of making the June
25 canvass cool weather was retard-
ing growth in most central and east
ern sections of the cotton belt, and
the crop was further unfavorably af-
fected by drought in central and
western Oklahoma, and in Louisiana,
except in the southeastern portion. In
Texas drought also prevailed to some
extent, but the crop was standing the
condition well and was making some
growth. The drought in Louisiana
was reported as serious. The crop
was in good shape in Tennessee and
fairly good prograss was being made
in North Carolina where warmer
weather was needed. In Georgia and
Mississippi and southwestern Arkan-
sas. Florida's crop is mostly prom
ising. Some sections reported boil
weevil, although in Texas there has
been but little insect damage this sea-
son.
In calculating it's forecast of total
production the bureau of crop esti-
mates based the yield on the condition
of the crop on June 25 and the pre-
liminary estimate of acreage, allow
ing for abandonment of one per cent
from the planted area. The final pro-
duction, however, probably will be
larger or smaller than estimated ae-
cording as conditions from now until
time of picking are better or worse
than average conditions.
