ALABAMA COTTON YIELD IS PLACED
 AT 635,OOO BALES
Acreage and Production Greater Than Indicated in Former Reports, Gist
 Announces

Montgomery December i2.-tspe- ciaL)-The estimated total produc- tion of cotton in Alabama this year, as reported December 12 by F. w. Gist, agricultural statistician for the Alabama cooperative crop reporting service, and confirmed by the Wash ington office of the United States bu- reau of markets and crop estimates, amounting to 6S5.O00 bales of 500 pounds gross weight each, is notice- able chiefly because of its wide dff- ference with previous forecasts. The last forecast, issued on October 3, was for total production of 46s,0o9 bales; on September l the forecast was for 472.o0o. and on July l if was only 41S,000. In the final report the data at hand, indicating the present estimate. or 16S.0OO bales more than the largest forecast previously made, showed both the acreage picked and the yield per acre to be larger than had been reported at any time during the season heretofore.
 The acreage finally picked is esti- mated at 2,352,000 and the average yield per acre at 129 pounds of lint. The acreage planted was estimated Tn July at 2,029,000 and the yield had been prospeetively around flo pounds throughout the season. It was nec- essary, therefore, to raise both when the final reports came in on the first of this month.
 Judgment InfIuenced
 In the matter of acreage the re- ports of regular correspondents of this office showed, as of July 20, a reduction of 3S per cent from that planted last year; the same list of reporters now show reduction in the acreage picked this year of only 12.5 per cent from that picked last year. It must be accepted in expla- nation of this marked difference that the psychology of suggestion entered strongly into the opinions of report CTS in July. Intense propaganda for acreage reduction had been going on for ome months and it was highly organized in the state. It is apparent that it had the effect of influencing the judgment of reporters, especially of those who formed their opinion from the expressed intention of the grower.
 The first condition report of th1s season showed cotton to be in .se poorest prospect of yield on record, and following reports bore this out, even up to September 25.I These con- ditions reports were justified at the time by apparent factors which were present. Weevils made their ap-

 It is apparent that Alabama is no exception to the general rule over the~beit in the matters of acreage and yield. The total crop is estimated at S,S4O,000 bales and the average yield at i26.9 pounds per acre. This indi- eates an acreage picked of S1,4S0, ,00o, while that estimated planted in July was 26.515.000. Whereas the percent age reported in July was shown to be 71.e per cent of last year. it now appears to be about S5 per cent of last year.

Price Publicity for Coal

Washington, Jan. 25.-(Special cor
respondence) - Senator William NJ.
Calder of New York, chairman of the
special committee that has been in
vestigating the coal situation, has in
troduced a bill designed to protect the
public in the future against the ex-
tortionate prices charged by the coal
dealers and insure an adequate sup
ply of fuel. The measure provides for
impartial publicity of reports through
Governmental agencies of the facts re-
garding the coal industry. To en-
force the divulging of accurate sta
tistics by the operators the bill pro-
poses a licensing system. If any
emergency threatens unreasonable
prices or a shortage, the President is
authorized to fix prices and revoke
the license Of any operator who
charges a higher rate The President
is also authorized to deal in coal and
control its production during the
emergency. The measure does not set
up any new Federal agency for carry
ing it into effect, but utilizes those al
ready in existence, principally the Fed
eral Trade Commission.

SKUNK is EASIEST OF
ANIMALS TO TRAP-lS
VALUABLE AT PRESENT
Beginner Can Have Big Success in
Trapping Them-Odor Can be
Readily Overcome by Using
Little PrecautiOn-Baitis is
Seldom Needed in Trap.

Skunks are the easiest animals there
are to capture in steel traps. The be-
ginner will always have success with
them. At the present time there is
more money in trapping skunks than
in any other kind Of trapping. The
fur is generally black with white
strip down the back The pet is al
ways dyed and comes ON the market
under another name. 1t is used for
making coats and furs.
The skunk is a slow moving sluggish
animal He stays in his den during
the day and does his hunting at night
He is not a predatory animal but lives
mostly upon dead animal but lives
mostly upon dead animals, birds and
insects. He will. however. often visit
chicken coops, and once started, will
keep coming until caught. He lives
in holes or dens in banks, under drift
piles, or even under old and desert
ed houses.
No great care is required in making
a set for skunks, as they are neither
suspicious nor afraid The best set
is trap at the mouth OF the den. The
trap need not be covered and no bait
is necessary. Where the den can not
be found an artificial den can ge made
by digging a hole in a clay bank. Pull
the dirt out in front of the hole and
set trap at thetop of the mound.
Throw bird back in the hole for bait.
Traps set in trails used by skunks
usually bring good results. These may
be- made either with or without bait.
The trails may be found adong fences
or in old stock trails. The trouble
with these sets is the danger they will
be sprung by stock
The chief objection to trapping
slunks is the odor. This unpleasant
odor can be avoided by the right me-
thods of killing and skinning. A skunk
is slow to use his smell and if killed
will not make a stink. The
best method of disposing of him is to
shoot him in the head with a 22-calI- !
bre rifle. If he does throw a scent.
loop wire or a rope about him and
hang him in running water for a day
or two. This will remove most Of the !
smell and will not injure the fur.
Greese the hands with vaselinc be |
fore beginning to skin him. be care |
full to avoid cutting the gland under
the tail, wash Off the greese carcfly |
when you are through, and no odor will |
'emain on the hands.

,It has long been well known fact
that Mr. Lansing had no sympathy
with the league of nations covenant
as drawn by the President, and he has
never denied the statement attributed
to him to the effect that if the Ameri-
can people only knew what the league
let them in for they would never stand
for it. Probably more light will be
shed on what actually transpired at
Versailles in the printing of the COM

from any other source. The league
