Everybody from Dean Curtis down the line who got on his feet had bouquets to throw at Frank Derby, and after re- peated calls he stood up and tried so disclaim having done anything unusual, and was most generous in trying to givs the praise to others, but the crowd wouldn't have it and the more he tried to get out of being the 'lion" of thu hour the more his tale was twisted just to make him growl for being noticed.

High Condition of
 Growing Cotton

WlTH a largely increased cotton
 WV acreage this year as com pared with 1917 bountiful yield was expected, but the governments report issued yesterday forecasts crop of 15, 1925 ,OO0 bales, which is the largest since the highest record crop of 16, ,134,993. The growing condition is excellent.
 In the last three years short crops were ginned, ranging from 11,191 ,82O bales in 1915 to II, ,930 in 1916. The 1917 crop was Il, 1,300,254.
 Every state in the belt increased its acreage, the total planted this year being 37,073,O ,OOO as against 34,925, ,000 in 1917.
 Alabama, which for several years held third place as cotton producer, now comes sixth or seventh. The boil weevil is responsible in part for the change in position" but crop diversi- fication is the main cause. The farm CTS were wise in adopting the "new policy" for the economic advantage of diversification is far-reaching. After the weevil pest is thing of the past Alabama will still find it profitable to plant less cotton and more food and feedstuff crops.
 Intensive cultivation rather than quantity is the rule now and should continue to be the rule. Time was when the cotton growers of Alabama thought that less than million bale crop for this state was small. In the 16, ,134, ,993-bale year Alabama pro- duced something like one-tenth. This year it may not pick more than eight hundred thousand bales, but the high prices the farmers will receive for other crops and for live stock will more than compensate them for any deficiency in the income from the erst- while one money crop"
 The world is hungry for cotton. When the forecast early in the season was for only fourteen milion-bale crop, prices were soaring. A fifteen million-bale crop is by no means ex- cessive in view of the demand, and if the grower will sell his cotton gradually instead of rushing it to market he will get price that will pay we'll.
 The Red Cross bull parade in Birlning- ham yesterday was a decided success. even if some of the Red Cross ladies who volunteered to lead the animals showed tendency at times to seek safety on the sidewalk.

 Browning. A propos of some recent acting in London we began to talk of Moliere, and presently, as though to shut out the-stream of words opposite, which was dampening conversation, the old poet--how the splendid brow and lthe white hair came back to me!-fell | to quoting from the famous sonnet
