The agricultural exhibits will be proof enough that this Is one of the bes. farming sections of the state.

COTTON ESTIMATE
 ID REMAIN SAME
Statement Predicting Short Crop to Be Issued By Sec
 retary of Agriculture
By Associated Press

Washington, October 22-The Sec retary of Agriculture will issue a statement next Tuesday, at the same time the cotton ginners' report is made public by the census bureau. in which southern senators predicted today the secretary will say that the department has no information tend Ing to change It's estimate of crop this year of 6.53Looo bales of 500 pounds gross.
 The decision. 1t was said, followed n conference today between Senators Ransdell, democrat, Louisiana. and Harris, democrat. Georgia, with Scc- retary Wallace. The estimate was made october 3. giving the condition of September 25 as 42.2 per cent.
 The senators said they were anx- ious that the ginners' report, which Is expected to show a large amount ot cotton ginned, will not prove an instrument for "bearish movements by cotton manipulators. as they con tended most of the cotton crop has been ginned, which will make the census figures more than proportion ately large.
 The census bureau will make special statement at the time or the ginners' report saying its reports ln- dicate large proportion of the crop has been ginned, tho senators oe- clared.
 :, Senator Harris said reports reach ing him were that the. cotton sinned had smaller weight to the bales.

 Not the least interesting In the ex- hibits were the curlos and relics of former days. Mount Hope had curi- ously carved canes and an old slave masters club about s5 years old and
 quilts wonderfully and beautifully made.

STATE FACING PROBLEM ID FIND
 PRISONERS JOBS
Out of 2,830 Persons Behind Bars In Alabama, Only Seven of Them Are
 White Women

 Montgomery, october 22.-(Special.) Alabama's prison population is in- creasing 80 fast the state convict de- partment will have a problem on it's hands in finding work for them to do in a short while. Reports of William r. Feagin, state warden general, Sat urday showed there were 2,sS0 be- hind the bars of state prisons Fri day; that 75 new conyicts have been received sice October l, and that the increase since October 31, 1920, has been Al.
 Hard times always bring an in- crease in the prison population. The highest number of state convicts in the history of Alabama was in March, 1918, when the count showed 3,269. This was during the financial depres- sion which followed the beginning of the World war. The lowest number was 2.18s, in February, 1919, which was during the peak of industry as a result of war demands.
 Only seven white women are in state prisons, while there are 735 white men. The total number of ne- gro women Is 26, and the number of negro men is 2,795. Forty eight new convicts were checked Into state prisons in two days this week. Twen- ty-seven were received October 20 and 21 october 21.
 Contracts for the employment of state convicts call for only 50 more than the state Is furnishing at this tir1e. The maximum number will be reached within week If the number received measures up to the number received in recent weeks. When 50 more convicts are checked in the state will have a surplus. according to statements made on the floor of the house of representatives during com sideration of the convict lease bill this week
