NEW COTTON CROP HELD
BACK BY WEATHER.

Washington, April 21.-Generally
unfavorable weather impeded prog
ress of the new cotton crop during
the past week, only the Eastern
states of the belt having conditions
favorable to planting, the weekly
crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau
today showed.
Planting has become general
throughout Georgia and much of the
cotton is up and being chopped, the
report said, but this work was ham,
pered in the central portions of the
belt due to heavy rains. The Pied
mont section of South Carolina was
the hardest hit by the recent cold
snap, although the plants are show
ing up pretty we'll. The report show
ed the recent frosts would necessitate
re-planting in Louisiana and Arkan-
sas.

BUDGET CALL
BY GOVERNOR
Conference to Be Held When
State Budget Will Be
Fully Discussed
[By Evening News Correspondent

TRENTON, July Ex-Governor
Edwards today issued a call for a
conference of the state budget COM
mission and the heads of all state
bodies, departments and institutions
applying for state funds, the meet
ing to be held in the assembly cham
Der next Tuesday. Sessions will be
held at $3.50 to 1880 in the morning
and 1 to in the afternoon, standard
time. In connection with the call,
the governor gave out the following
statement:
'The object of the conference is to
consider the budget requests for
next year as well as to clarity GER
ain points in the practical applica-
ton of the budget regulations. the
necessity for which has been indicat-
ed by past experiences of the budget
commission"
The governor pointed out that
the conference will not in any sense
partake of the nature of the regular
budget hearings held annually after
the various departments and institu-
tions have filed their estimates for
funds.
The opening address will be made
by Observation-Disclosures and there will
be talks by Budget Commissioners
Henry B. Fernald. of Montclair. and
John A. Reddan, of Hopewell;
Charles B. Messick. secretary of the
Civil Service Commission and State
Purchasing Agent Edward f. Gross
cup. Administrative and accounting
features involved in budget making
will be fully considered and prop
err emphasis will be placed upon the
general price decrease from last year
in the various commodities required
for institutional and other state
work. In other words, one of the OBJ
jects will be to save money for the
state.
The importance of studying econ
omy in the preparation of the bud
get will be understood from the fact
that the total budget last winter as
submitted to the legislature by Gov
ernor Edwards was S27, 017,2SS.06.

campaign is to prevent the holding
of any more prize fights at Jersey
City in the arena where the Battle
of the Century" between Dempsey
