Race Riots in England

By Associated Press.
LONDON, June 20.-Race riots in
the northern part of England and
Wales have created a stir throughout
the country principally because of
the novelty. of such occurrences in
these islands.
Normally there are few negroes or
aliens with colored skins to be seen
in Great Britain, but the exigencies
of war caused the importation OF a
large number of them to work on sea-
port docks and to recruit the ranks
of manual laborers depleted by the
call for fighting men They were
brought from various parts of the
world, South Africa and the West
Indies supplying the bulk of them.
Many Arabs also were imported.
Repatriation of these colored men
has been slow, with the consequence
that many demobilized British SOL
diers have had what to them seemed
the bitter experience of seeing strang-
ers engaged at profitable employment
while they, themselves, looked in
vain for work
Resentment over this state of af-
fairs quickly developed into hatred
when the soldiers observed hat the
strangers were trying to cultivate the
acquaintance of white girls. A num-
Der of negroes took white wives.

State Needs Rain

According to the weekly report of
the crop and weather conditions in
the state for the week ending. Tues
day, as issued by G. Harold Moves,
forecaster, there have been several
local showers over the state during
the past week.. and the amount 81
rain in central districts has been from
adequate to excessive, while in por-
tons of northern and southern Sec
tons, and occasional localities else
where, there has hardly been enough.
Warmth and sunshine has generally
been sufficient to be beneficial to all
vegetable growth, but there have
been a few unusually cool nights.
Corn has shown the best gain during
the week, and is generally rated as
excellent, some of it is tasseling and
early sweet corn is being marketed.
The recent rains were a little too late
to be of much benefit to potatoes,
and considerable digging is going on,
Is well as planting of red skins for
a late crop. Wheat and rye cutting
is nearly finished. Oats are a fine
crop in nearly all except southern
districts, and are beginning to turn.
Spring wheat and barley are well
headed and are promising. Early
peaches and apples are being picked.
Onions are showing a good yield.
Peppers and tomatoes are fair, and
sweet potatoes very good.
