ton of the crop will be a serious
problem. With adverse weather
conditions it will necessitate a
large acreage abandonment. The
matter of harvesting with, ideal sea-
sons will prove very serious. The
supply of cotton remaining in A
merica has ben reduced as shown
by the census department by un-
spinnable cotton around 1,250,0Oo
bales. In addition to this the in
of supplies of cotton in
all foreign countries which is now
being made both through the Uni
ted States consuls and representa-
tives brings to light the fact that
the worlds supply of cotton
ton Association supply of. cotton
will in like manner be seriously re-
duced by unspinnable cotton and
errors. We are facing the absolute
certainty of a famine in spot cot
ton. This investigation brings to
light as we have been insisting for
a wear, the fact that there is not
enough cotton for all and some will
have to go without. We find that
the purchases of cotton for fall de-
livery by the European spinners
are extremely heavy. Such pur-
chases from this source are break
ing all previous records. Forward
sales of manufactured products be-
ing made on these purchases at the
same time assure enormous profits
to the manufacturer.
"The demand for raw cotton ex-
ceeds the possibility Of supply not
only of cotton on hand, but from
the coming crop, far greater than
at any period since cotton produc-
ton was introduced in America"

CROP REPORT GIVES
COTTON CONDITION

Columbia, May 28.-The crop re-
port issued by the American Cot
ton Tssociation from it's headquar-
ters in this city today gives the con-
dition of cotton on May rs as 67.2.
The report declares that the wealth
er has been extremely unfavorable
over most of the belt until the mid
die of May, so that the crop is from
four to five weeks late the pre-
paration very poor and the stands
badly broken.
"This," says the report "under
present insect conditions and the
great shortage of labor is an ex-
tremely serious feature and will
probably more largely reduce the
production than similar conditions
have ever reduced it in the past"
Concerning acreage the report
says:
Acreage shows small decrease
compared with last year. However,
there was an acreage abandon
ment last season as shown by the
government over 6 per cent. Under
existing conditions it is almost an
inevitable certainty that the acre
age abandonment will exceed all
previous records on account of the
high prices for food products and
the absolute certainty that the
world is facing a great shortage in
food. The producers are urged to
give careful heed to the loss they
face from abandoned cotton acre
age and are accepting the recon-
of the American Cotton
to replant their acreage
on which there is poor stands Of
cotton and probability of abandon
ment in food crops and are intensi-
fying their efforts to increase pro-
duction on the remaining part OF
their acreage"
Labor conditions, says the re-
port, "show reduction as COM
pared with last year Of 18 per cent.
In addition to this it is extremely
inefficient. The 1s per cent reduc-
ton being from the cream of the
labor. The seriousness of the labor
situation has been added to by the
fact that the producer, based upon
the price paid for his cotton, can
not compete with other employers
in obtaining his labor. With normal
seasons from now on the cultiva-

LIMIT PHYSICIANS
ORDERS FOR BOOZE

Washington, May 29.-In an ef-
fort to defeat the "indiscriminate
sale of liquor" on physicians pre-
scriptions, Commissioner Williams
of the bureau Of internal revenue,
issued a ruling today limiting the
number of permits allowed each
physician to 100 for each three
months, except with "good cause"
The order which Mr.. Williams
said was issued "after weeks of
study and the investigation of re-
cords of scores of physicians"
makes it obligatory on the part of
physicians to show where the liquor
has gone before more prescription
blanks will be issued by the bureau.
''It may work some hardships,"
said Mr.. Williams, 'but we believe
that reputable physicians will not
object to advising agents of the
government the nature of their re-
quirement when more than 100 per-
mits is neede for three months.

Red Wing. Minn-One person was
killed and eight were injured in two
Southern Minnesota tOrnadoes, one OF
which swept up the Hay Greek valley
threatening Red Wing, the other turn
ing westward toward Mortified and
almost wiping out the little village OF
Castle Rock.
Six houses in Castle Rock were de-
strOyed as were three farm houses
outside the village. The Methodist
church and parsonage, the school
house, a general store, a blacksmith
shop and a garage also were swept
away by the storm. Three farm
houses and a town hall were destroy
ed near Red Wing. Diminished to a
heavy wind and rain, storm the tor
nado also swept through the country
between WinOna and Haverhill, de-
strOying barns and silOs and causing
considerable crop damage.
Railroad service generally in Sou
thern Minnesota was damaged and
wire service demOralized. Total dam
age to buildings and crops was esti-
mated at 100000. Red Cross aid was
sent from Northfield to Castle Rock.
1t was at the Godfrey Swanson farm
house near Red Wing that the storm
took the only death toll of the day.
An 11-weeks old baby of Mr.. and Mrs.
Swanson was killed by fling timbers
before the family could take refuge in
the basement of their home. Both
Mr.. and Mrs Swanson were injured,
as was Miss Hildegarde Munson, sis
ter of Mrs. Swanson, who lived with
them.
Two other farmhouses which stood
in the path the storm took from the
Swanson farm house toward Red Wing
were also destroyed, but there was no
loss of life.
The school house was a complete
wreck. The day before was the last
day of the school session Many of
the pupils were at the school, assist
ing the teacher to clear away the de-
bris of a last day" picnic. They were
excused less than half an hour before
the storm broke and reached shelter
A heavy rain and wind storm swept
the vicinity of Winona, causing con-
siderable damage to buildings, and
crops between Winona and Haverhill
in Minnesota and in Western Wiscon-
sin. No loss of life nor serious injury,
was reported. Washouts were caused
on both the Burlington and Milwau-
kee roads between WinOna and the
Twin Cities.
Apparently Red Wing was directly
in the path of the storm, then, when
the funnel shaped cloud was within
half a mile of the outskirts of the city
it struck the bluffs just south of Red
Wing and below the Lutheran Ladies
seminary. The protection of the bluffs,
it is believed, saved the city. The tor

NOT MERELY FISH STORIES

Next time some one tells you of its

In Baton Rouge. in 1896, it rained
ducks, catbirds and woodpeckers.
We pause right here to say that sci

lifting power of the wind and the an

must come down; and you never can
be sure what is up.
