Condition by States.
+ + + * * * + s + * + + + t

Washington, June 2.-Reportng the condition of the cotton on May 25 at 62.4 per cent of normal the depart ment of agriculture announced that this was the lowest mark in it's record of 50 years and that the recurring statement "worst ever known" was confirmed.
 Revised figures of the area planted last year were announced as 35, ,133.- 900 acres. the area picked 33,566 ,OO0 acres and the yield per acre 151 5 pounds.
 The May 25 condition last year was 756 per cent of normal and the ten year average 787.
 Condition by states: Virginia, Fl; North Carolina, 70; South Carolina, 6s; Georgia, 55; Florida G2; Alabama, 58; Mississippi, 65; Louisiana, 72; Texas. 60; Arkansas, 61; Tennessee, 60; Missouri, 54; Oklahoma, 70; Cali fornia, 86; Arizona, 80; all other states, 63.
 The department of agriculture is- sued the following statement:
 "Cotton is reported as poor to bad in all cotton states and in almost eve " county of the cotton belt.
 "The season throughout the belt is from 2 to weeks late. Extensive winter and spring rains packed the soil and subsequent lack or shortage of normal rainfall over much of the belt from Texas to North Carolina caused rapid drying out of the hard packed surface even when moisture in the subsoi is abundant.
 "Moist weather conditions in Okla homa, Arkansas and Mississippi con- tinue with much of the long staple growing in delta districts of those states still overflowed from the high waters in the Mississippi and tribu- taries. Much planting was done Gin the mud" and the cold, wet soil cans- ed much rotting of seed while the cold nights and frost caused loss of many fields that had come to stand and has left many others thin and backward, lacking color and vigor Replanting has ranged as high as 40 per cent in some states and planting and 'replanting is still under way in all states. The unfavorable conditions for field work have resulted in poorly worked and grassy fields, especially in the low lands. Uplands are better and some are reported good.
 "Weevil infestation is unusually severe in effected territory. Hot. clear weather is needed for both Of the growth of the plant and to hold the weevil in check. yet some rain fall is needed in most of the belt for proper development.
 "The almost sole encouraging fea- ture is the greatly increased use of fertilizer over recent years. From 10 to 25 per cent more is being used and the quality is much better. Mi trate of soda is being used rather freely in an effort to nurse weak and late stands up to proper size and yigor."

Business Can't Thrive as Autocr,t He Says--Declares Against Bow coits of Necessities as h.
 effective

kansas City, Mo, June 2.-Tbe remedy for the high cost of livino .o %hich he ascribed present indus. trlal unrest, is greater production John Fletcher. vice president of tha Fort Dearborn National bank CbiI eago' sad, speaking on "the busi- nes9 0utIook2 before the thirteenth annual convention of the National Association of Real Estate boards which convened here today.
 ., eet to work" Mr. Fletcher said
 N" amount of hunting for the goat where there is no goat-no matte, no" many congressional investiga- tons.-will correct things. Get to work" '0
 The greatest menace the United states faces today is the agricultura situation, MT. Fletcher said
 Assoelating the labor unrest with crop shortage, MT. Fletcher said he believed labor, in it's manner of pro- test against the high cost of living the basis of it's complaint, he said was sincerely doing what it believed right.
 The immediate creation of agencies Tn each urban community to pre- part and distribute educational mat ter revealing the necessity for maximum production" and the turn ing of the advertising brains of the country to selling "production,' for period was the remedy Mir. Fetch CT offered for the general economic situation.
 Speaking on the attitude of busi- ness toward labor, he said business had learned that it can no more thrive automatically "than can a kaiser or q czar."
 He declared against boycotts of necessities for accomplishing re- lief.
 T don't believe it does any good to go without eggs for a month or wear your old shoes, particularly when the preaching of such doctrines usually is done over banquets cost ing $7 plate and by men who spend $500 to S40O to ship their automo- piles to California;" he said.
 We need some sort of agency in this country to teach people how to buy. There seems to be a sort of psychological notion that the great est economy lies in buying the high est priced things"
 "The future," he said in conclu- sion, "does not depend on the gov ernment of the United States. It de- bends on the business men of. the United States"
