P. Hay, secretary of the food preparedness committee of Birmingham &iscuss the marketing and housing problems of food crops
 The meeting was held in the Wood mems hall and about 50 business men and farmers were present to aid in the discussion. MT. Jones spoke on the preparation for marketing, stating that this was the duty of the mer- chant and not of the farmer, and that someone in Lincoln should take this matter in hand and see that all prod ucts were put in Deper form and packages before they were shipped in order to get the highest price.
 MT. Hay discussed the organization plans and found that a Community club already existed in Iincon. but for want of something to do had about expired and in this way it is the aim of the committee named to re- vive the organization and pay special attention tocanning surplus vegetables and fruits and to build 8 community potato house as well as to establish a feed mill to grind stock feed The oil mill at this place can be utilized for grinding peanuts, a quantity of which will be raised in this section. The farmers are planting every acre of ground and very little cotton has been planted, beans, peas, sorghum potatoes and corn being the principal crops. A splendid warehouse is al- ready constructed and in operation at this place and can be utilized for stor- ing corn and food crops of every de- scription.
 The committee named to confer with the Community club and call a mass meeting for next Monday night is composed of leading business men, being J. H. Wilson, chairman, T. J. Watson. J. L. Ritchie, L. M Dickin- son and G. L. Schmidt

COTTON CONDITION ONLY 69.5 NORMAL
 STATES REPORT

Washington, June 1.-The condition Of the cotton crop on May 8 was 6e.5 per cent of a normal, compared with 7.6
 last year, 500 in 1915, 74.3 in 1914, and
 79.1 the May 25 10-year average the
 department of agriculture announced to-
 day in it's first report of the season.
 Revised estimates announced today of
 the area planted and in cultivation at
 the end of June, last year, place the
 acreage at S6052,O 900, the area picked last
 year at S4,9S5.0oO acres, and the yield
 per acre at 156s pounds of lint.
 An official statement today by the
 department of agriculture says:
 Temperatures for many days in early May were so low that frost formed even in the southern part of the cotton belt.
 Much cotton was killed outright, and the stand was damaged everywhere" The statement continued;
 "There has been much replanting in every state and the cotton everywhere
 has stunted appearance and has grown
 but little. In addition to cold weather drouth in some sections has kept the seed from germinatng. The crop will average probably three weeks late in age, and probably more in size and ap- pearance.
 Many sections report lice. There is some complaint of weevils but they have not shown up as yet to any great extent probably owing to the lateness of the crop. Generally cultivation is fully up to the normal and there is little grass in the fields.
 There is considerable shortage in the labor supply, but farmers are well up with their work in most places owing to the generally dry weather prevailing during most of the month The labor Mississippi river; those west of the river probably have sufficient labor to make the crop"
 CONDITION BY STATES Condition of the crop by states follows: Virginia, 75; North Carolina, 63; South
 Carolina, 70; Georgia, 69; Florida, 76; Ala bama, 61; Mississippi, 66; Louisiana, "A;

CONDITION BY STATES
NEGRO SHOULD
 REALIZE THAT HE
 MUST DO HIS BIT
To the Editor of The Age-Hera1d.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald. I have taken especial notice of your editorials with reference to the exodus of negroes from this section. As one greatly interested in the negro and his progress. think it encouraging that many broad gauged southern men are manifesting a real interest in the ne- gro's behalf. And in this connection I would offer a suggestion: Won't you please use your influence to cause the negro to understand that this broadened policy of good will which is being shown him. entails greater responsibility on his part; that this "new light" for him means that he must accomplish more.
 I do not believe that the negro real izes the seriousness of the situation that confronts our people, especially from an industrial viewpoint, and I understand this to be all important. There are enough loafing negroes in Birmingham who if they were on the farms could produce food enough to feed all of the soldiers who will be drawn from our sec tion. There are enough negroes around the coal mines, who if they worked six days per week instead of three days, as Is their practice, would enable Alabama to contribute her share of the 1000, coo tons of coal monthly for which France is in dire need. This condition does not characterize our immediate section alone but I understand it is true generally throughout the south.
 In other words, MT. Editor, there are a great many negroes who are not doing their Dit They must be made to realize that they have a part to play. a duty to perform, and that the moral ob- legations which bind them to this duty are just strong as those which bind all other Americans.
 Surely, all will agree that this is the golden opportunity for the negro. Can not some agency be summoned to bring him to realization of this opportunity for his own good and for the good of the institutions of which he is part? Yours respectfully.
