SAYS CROP OUTLOOK
WORST EVER KNOWN
Season Throughout Belt Is Reported
Two to Four Weeks Be.
hind.

Washington June E. - Cotton is
reported as poor to bad in all cotton
States, and in almost every county of
the cotton belt" the Department of
Agriculture announced in statement
today
The recurring statement worst
ever known is confirmed by the re-
ported conditions figure Of 62.4 per
cent of normal the statement said,
1.-The next lowest at this date in the
bureaus entire record Of fifty years
being 69.5 per cent in 1917. Last
year it was 1876 per cent"
Reporting the condition of the cot
ton crop on May % at 62.4 per. cent
of Normal, the Department of Agri-
culture announced that this was the
lowest mark in its record of fifty
years aLi that the recurring state
meLs worst ever known was con-
firmed.
Two to -Four Weeks aLte.
''The season throughout the belt is
from two to -four weeks late" the
statement continued. Excessive WIN
ter and spring rains packed the soil
and subsequent lack of shortage of
normal rainfall over much of the
belt from Texas to North Carolina
caused the rapid drying out of the
hard packed surface even when
moisture in the subsoil is abundant.
Moist weather conditions in Okla
homa, Arkansas and Mississippi con-
tinue. with much of the long staple
growing. Delta lines of those States
still overfiowed from the high waters
in Mississippi and its tributaries.
Much planting was done in the mud
and the cold. wet soil caused much
rotting Of seeds, while the cold nights
.anG frost caused locs of many fields
that had come to a stand and has left
many others thin and backward, lack
irg color and vigor Replanting has
ranged as high as 40 per cent in
some States and planting and re-
planting is still under way in al
States.
Grassy Fields.
THE unfayorable conditions for
field work have resulted in poorly
worked and grassy fields especially
in the lowlands.' Uplands are better
ana some are reported good.
'WeeviL infestation is unusually
severe in affecte territory. Hot, clear
weather is needed for both of the
growth OF the plant and 10 hold the
weevil in check, yet some rainfall is
needed in most Of the belt for proper
development.
TN almost sole encouraging fea-
ture is the greatly increased use of
fertilizer over recent years. From 10
TO 20 per cent more is being used and
TIC quality is much better. Nitrate of
soda is being used rather Freely in an
chort 10 nurse weak and late stands

BABY DEATH RATE
SHOWS INCREASE
Number of Deaths During March
Highest Recorded.

Number of Deaths During March
Highest Recorded.
More babies under one year of age
says the Columbia State, died during
March, 1920 than have died during
that month for the any of the pre-
ceding six years according to figures
taken from the records of the bureau
OF vital statistics. Whether this in
crease in the death rate among in
fants is due to the fact that reports
are more accurate and complete now
than heretofore or whether it is due
to the larger number Of babies born
during March 1920 is not known.
In 1915, 410 babies under one year
OF age died during the month OF
March in thlS state. In 1917, the
number was 523; in 1918 43S; in
1919, 374 and in 1920, 573.
A further study OF the figures at
| th@ bureau Of vital statistics shows
that in 1916 he number Of babies
born during the month of March was
$3.50; in 1917, the number born dur.
Ing March was 3,349; in 1918, 3J73;
liz 1919, 3,5O3. In 1920 during
March the total number OF births for
the entire state was 1000 and the
number Of deaths OF infants under
one year Of age was 573, the larges.
fol the month Of March during any
March in the preceding six years.
These figures include babies OF both
sexes and of all races in this state.
y greater number OF StiH births were
reported during March OF the pres
ent year than have been reported for
that month during the past five years.
The summer months are generally
regarded rs trying on the health of
babies under one year OF age. Mrs.
Ruth y. Dodd, director o. the bu-
reau of child hygiene, in speaking of
infant care yesterday said that nurses
were being urged to concentrate their
energies Oil baby and prenatal! work
and were being requested TO get as
many babies and eXprctant mothers
a. possible on their visiting lists.
Nurses should urge mothers to ex-
elcise vigilance in looking after the
little ones; the babies should be pro-
tected from flies. Breast milk is the
only safe food.
when baby shows the first
symptoms of darrhoea. it should be
considered Il critically i'll baby and
all food except albumen water should
be discontinued for "a hours. and in
the meantime, the baby should be pur
under physicians care.
Delay may cost the baby's life
procrastination in calling 4 physician
when the baby shows symptoms OF
darrhoca is dangerous 10 a degree.

driyeways of the world.

drlyeWayS Oh the world.
THE city is full of interesting
places. Whether it be the cathedral,
which rears its majestic towers to
heaven on the very spot where the
sacred temple of the Aztecs stood,
and where tens of thousands of hui
man beings were sacrificed to. the
sun; whether it be the Hospital de
Jesus, built on the site where Cortes
and Montezuma first met, and sup
ported to this day from the revenues
of the estate of Cortezi whether 1t be
the Jockey Club. housed in the beau
tiful House of Tiles; whether it be
the bronze. equestrian statue OF Char
les w OF Spain, declared by Humboldt
to be second only to the statue OF
Marcus Aurelius at Rome, or wheth-
er it be Chapultepec, with is memor-
les of the American triumph in Mex
leo. there is no place with more at
fractions from historic standpoint
than Mexico City.
THE national pawn shop is one
of the. unique institutions of the
capital. 1t was founded by Pedro Jose
hOllleTO Qe 1SIIclOS, IuC OWuCi Va
the fabulously rich mines at Real de-
Monte. Here money may be borrow
ed on chattels at very low rates OF
interest and everything Is pledged,
from pair of cocks spurs to an au'
tomobile and from a silver ring to
an iron safe. The smallest loan made
Is IL cents and the largest $4,000.
From the American standpoint
burial customs in Mexico are very
strange. A grave may be rented in
perpetuity or for term of years. II
the later portion is taken and the rent
is not paid promptly at each recur'
ring period, the bones of the occu'
pant are elected and thrown upon q
great bone pile. These bones from
time to time are cremated.
"At Mexico City's great city Of the
dead, where 100000 people have
been buried, there is cave which
contains hundreds of tons of human
ashes. The Mexican law forbids ser
vices at the grave since the separa
ton of church and state under Benz
| to JaureZ."

THE CAPITAL OF MEXICO
CITY That is Interestingly Ancient
and Very Modern.

"In all the world one cannot find a
more remarkable capital than Mexico
City,, says William Joseph Showal-
ter in a communication to the Nat
ional Geographic Society, concerning
an interest center of the present
Mexican revolution.
Situated in a valley whose floor
is a mile and a half above the level
of the sea, and whose borders are
surrounded by towering mountains;
located where the beautiful volcanoes
Popocatepetl and Ixtacclhuat, rear
their snow capped heads above the
plain and stand eternal guard over
it. it's situation is one of rare beauty
and grandeur. It's climate is mild,
the temperature ranging from 80 10
70 degrees, with mean Of IS de-
grees. No man sleeps without a
blanket in Mexico City, nor needs an
overcoat at midday.
Prior TO the conQuest the lakes
of the Mexican Valley were extensive
and the barges of the Aztecs sailed
uninterruptedly from the gates OF
Cnapultepec 10 IXtapalapa. a large
number OF canals intersected the an
cicnt metropolis OF Tenochtitlan and
connected with the lakes i'll the sub.
urbs, making it a sort Of new world
Venice.
+ "In 1907 the celebrated Portuguesc
engineer Martinez undertook TO
drain the Valley OF Mexico by cutting
a canal through the mountains. The
work, however. was largely a failure.
since it drained only one small lake
and an unimportant rivel, leaving
lakes TeXcoco and Chalco still per-
pctual menaces to the city.
In 1907 Il huge drainage canal 80
miles long was begun, which was
completed, in 1900 at cost of about
$S,OOO,0O0, American gold. Its COM
pletion removed the danger Of inun-
dationS from Mexico City and solved
the problem which occupied the
thoughts and engendered the fears O.
AGtecs as far back as 14i9.
Mexico City is the most complete
mixture of the ancient and the mod
ern to be found in the. New World.
The old city might date anywhere
from the tenth century, from its ap-
pearanCe. The new city is ultra mod
ern, and you step from the sixteenth
10 the twentieth century by walking
across the street.
The parade ground of MeXIco City
is the Avienda de San Francisco

Mexican White House to The Alamo
da, and is only about "a feet from
curb TO curb. Here. at the approach
of twilight. every smart equipaSe in
the capital comes. Down tho one

PHOSPHATE
With MEALS In
SUMMER E
Your Nerves Demand 1t, Your Blood
Needs 1t, Say Physicians

There's not enough PHOSPHORUS in
modern foods to benefit nearly one
half of the men and women of Amer
lea, scientists declare.
To overcome this lack of an ele-
nent of your body that is necessary
to your health, your happiness and
even your success in life, weak, anea-
mic people are advised to take Bitro-
Phosphate as dispensed in leading
drug stores in the original package.
Speaking of people who are easily
fatigued. who lack ambition, nerve
and are ofttimes thin, weak, and sadly
lacking in firm, healthy flesh, Joseph
D. Harrigan, formerly Visiting Spe-
cialist, North Eastern Dispensary, N.
Y, says:
patients who were apparently
physical wrecks who foolishly thought
they needed only blood tonic to en-
rich the blood, have come for treat
ment trembling and shaking, their
nerve force almost exhausted and in
many such cases the administering of
Bitro-Phosphate has produced SEEM
ingly magical results.
People who feel the heat of sum-
mer, tire easily and often become ir-
ritable and depressed, will find Bitro-
Phosphate an inexpensive and helpful
friend.
Druggists report wonderful in
crease in the demand from men and
women who are anxious to renew old
time ambition and who are making an
honest effort to become vigorous and
keen-minded with a power of endur-
ance that denotes almost perfect
health.
They ask for Bitro-Phosphate be-
cause they know they need an mex
pensive organic phosphate.

Editor, Times-Recorder: The Demo-

its treasury practically depleted. The
call for funds to be used for the le-

the doubtful states is insistent.
There remain less than forty
days until the national election. l
am writing to ask that you give ac-
tive support to the efforts of the fl
nance chairman in your state, who
has been appointed to raise a fund
for the national campaign.
"There will be no effort to raise
a slush fund. All members of the
party will be asked to contribute
modestly to the fund.
LET me urge that you make
