BATTLE LOOMS
ON JONES BILL
Absence of Bids on Salable
Vessels May Result in
Policy Change.

The total absence of any accept
able bids so far for the ships Of
fered for sale by the Shipping
Board undoubtedly will bring forth
a sharp fight to modify the Jones
merchant marine act at the next
Congress, in the opinion Of officials.
Predictions are made that when
the bids are opened for the sale of
the 100 steel cargo vessels recently
offered by the board the result will
practically bring the Shipping
Board sales to a halt. Under exist
ing conditions there is no disposi-
ton on the part OF American cap
ital to go into the shipping bust
ness. 1t is held by the private ship
ping interests that not only are the
prices asked by the board for the
ships too high-as evidenced by the
offer of British shipyards TO build
new ships, on a four months de-
livery basis. at 800 per ton less
than the Shipping Board prices
but that the restrictions surround
ing the profits Of shipowners make
a shipping investment unattractive
at the present time.
The Shipping Board is committed
to the support Of the Jones bill
and probably will combat any ef-
fort to amend II. in the opinion of
officials. For this reason an i'm
passe will develop and the contin-
uance Of L great fleet under Fed
tral operation will be certain for
an indefinite period unless the new
administration determines upon a
change of policy.

FARMING BEHIND

Complaint ia general over the coun-
ty at the lateness Of all farming OPP
erations, due to the weather. Cotton
is up and is making good progress,
despite the continued rains, but the
corn situation is one that gives
concern.
Corn is generally planted on low
lands in this section, and the ground
has been so wet that very little plant
ing has been done. and where it has
been planted much Of the land will
have to be re-planted. Fortunately a
good corn crop can be raised in this
country even if corn is planted as late
as the first Of June, and all are hop
ing that with the change of the moon,
which comes on the 18th, that the wet
weather will be over.
