COTTON MAKES
GOOD HEADWAY
Commercial Appeals Report Shows
Decided Gains Outlook Is
encouraging.

Following is the Commercial APP
peals summary of the cotton crop
situation published Friday:
Reports compiled for The Com
merical Appeal indicate that the con-
dition Of the cotton crop as Of June
25. 1920, was 1913 per cent, Of a nor
NAL, compared with 65.4 per cent, at
May 25.
Reports indicate that the area
planted is $500, 600 acres compared
with 35lS3,OO acres in 1919, or an
increase of one per cent.
The Commercial Appeals condition
figure points to yield of IL 100000
bales, allowing one per cent. for aban-
doned acreage
The condition figure compares with
65.4 per cent. at May 25, 1920, 1872
per cent, at June 20, 1919, and 10
year average of 1913 per cent.
The report is based upon correspon-
dence covering in detail 7S2 counties
embraced in the 10 principal cotton
producing states.
Weather conditions have been gen
orally favorable during the past 30
days and the crop made steady prog
ress, although temperatures We're too
high in the Atlantics during a period
Of several days, and elsewhere, espe-
cially over northern portions Of the
belt, temperatures at times were too
low, although only moderately so.
General rains occurred which were
not needed, but they were not regard

Hon. Oscar Johnston
Replies to Gov. Russell

Clarksdalc, Miss, June 26-Hm.
Oscar Johnston, national committee
man for Mississippi, has answered
the castigation administered to the
members Of the state convention by
Gov. Lee NJ. Russell because that
body rejected him as one Of the dele.
gates at large from the state to the
national convention at San Francisco
In unmistakable terms Mr.. John
ston replied to the criticism by the
governor and repeated that as the
convention is to be 100 per cent Dem
ocratic the state organization did not
believe that it could conseiehtiously
"send a delegate whose views were at
variance with those held by President
Wilson and the recognized leaders of
the party" He defined the two DEM
ocratic parties" now existing in the
state, one Of which he said includes
the loyal supporters of the national
administration; the other the cohorts
and friends Of Vardaman, and sought
to show by excerpts from Vardaman's
Weekly that Republican candidates
had been given the Endorsement of the

ex-senator lie inferred that Che gov
ernor had allied himself with the lat-
ter wing.
His statement in part follows:
The Democracy Of Mississippi needs
no defense at my hands, or at the
hands Of any person from attacks
resulting from an outburst Of tenn
per on the part Of our governor, but
for his personal reference to me
should say that I had no statement
to make. However. since his article
contains untrue utterances regarding
myself | shah make this answer.
During the campaign in which Rus
sell and I were contesting for CUB
ernatorial honors, he repeatedly
charged that / was being backed by
an enormous "shsh fund.- At that
time | challenged the correctness Of
his statement. / denounce his state
ment as deliberately and wilfully UNI
true and say, in answer, that | know
that a larger sum Of money was ex-
pended in Russells behalf in the last
campaign than was used by any two
Of his opponents combined, and fur
ther, that a very large part Of the
funds expended in my behalf has been

Most planting was completed by
june bat important areas were not
planted until June 10. and some plant
ing was still under way, notably in
Central Texas, at the date Of the re-
port.
Approximately 10 per cent. Of the
crop has been chopped to a stand.
The crop is from a few days to
about six weeks late, averaging about
two weeks late.
Boil weevil have appeared IN most
sections where they were found last
year and are becoming very uumer-
Gus, but so far have done little dam
age.
Many fields are grassy and labor is
scarce. Other growing crops are be-
ing neglected, but cotton is receiving
rather timely attention.
Continued dry and moderately hot
weather is needle for the best deyel-
opment of the crop.
Chief complaints are Of Iateness and
poor stands due to faulty germina-
ton, lice and dying due principally to
cold and excessive moisture.
Condition by states as of June 25,
1920, with condition at May 25. 1920,
and condition at June o., 1919, for
comparison, all estimates by The

cago last week adopted the following
plank oa me league of nations. 10
strikes me as g neat piece Of political
diplomacy, and Il carried to its log
ical end, it saves the republic from
the disaster into which Woodrow viii
son sought to plunge It."
He then quotes the platform Of the
Republican party dealing with the
league of nations, starting his quota
ton with this paragraph: THE for
eign policy Of the administration has
been founded upon no principles and
directed BY no definite conception Of
our nations rights and obligations.
1t has been humilating to the result
that after a period Of unexampled
sacrifice our motives are suspected
our moral influence impaired and our
government stands discredited and
friendless among the nations Of the
world"
] cannot conceive a more severe in
dictment of the Democratic party
than the above. and yet it is the plank
that it Endorsed and approved by the
party lead by Mr.. Vardaman.
Takes Stand Again; league.
Gov Russell refrains from stating
to which of these parties he belongs
but Judging him by the company he
keeps, by his own public utterances
and by the utterances Of his paper
the Oxford Eagle-the convention felt
justified in CHASING him as a member
Of the last mentioned party. and must
leave him there until he secs fit to
forsake it and the pernieious prin-
ciples for which it stands. In an edi.
torial in that same paper, the leader
Of this party has this to say, 81 hope
the convention at San Francisco may
not make the league of nations the
paramount issue, because believe
that the American people do not favor
the league Of nations and know they
should not favor the league of ma
tions."
| ask fair-minded public to an
swer, could any convention of Dem
ocrats assembled have adopted a
platform indorsing the administration
Of Woodrow Wilson subscribing to
the doctrine of a league of nations,
and then select lieutenant from this
last mentioned party to head a dele
cation made up of Democrats belong
ing to the first mentioned party in
their pilgrimage to San Francisco. 1t
might just as consistently be argued
that state having a Republican gov
ernor should send him to the Demo
cratic convention.
The gentleman in question should
remember that it is not sufficient for
him to proclaim from the housetops
that he is Jeffersonian Democrat;
he must convince hard-headed Missis-
sippians, who, like the people from
Missouri, want tasbe sighted, that he
is in accord with the principles of the
present Democratic party. He may
argue that the party has forsaken
The principles Of Jefferson. If it has,
then these principles have been adopt
ed by the Republican party, and he,
being man steadfast in his adherence
to principles (?), should stick to his
principles, even though by so doing
he be forced to consort with strange
bed-fellows.
In my judgment the Democratic
convention adopted the only course
open to it, and this course will be
ratified and approved by the people in
the election next November.
