GREEK MIGRATION
IS DESCRIBED BY
RELIEF OFFICIAL
Problem Is Most Colossal of
Its Kind in History,
Jacquith Declares
in Address

Constantinople, October 7.-Declar-
ing that the migration of half a MIL
lion Greeks due to the Near East con-
flict, offered the most colossal prob
lem of its kind in history, II. C. direo-
tor of the Near East Relief admins
tration here, addressed relief admin
istrators in conference today.
Mr. Jacquith had just returned from
a tour of all principle points where
refugees are being concentrated.
"The situation is unique as COM
pared with other large refugee move
ments in the past few years" he said.
There are practically nc ablebodied
men among the present refugees. The
action of the Turks in forcing fami-
lies to depart from Asia Minor with
out their breadwinners complexities
the difficulty Of caring for the
refugees"
The conferees expressed a convic-
ton that the Greek government
would be unable to shoulder the bur-
den alone.
Thus far the United States is the
only nation which has assister in the
relief work on any considerable
scale. British naval units have been
helpful In connection with the evac-
uation and the British also have adj
vanced considerable funds for re-
lief, but the other nations have con-
fined themselves almost entirely to
assisting their own nationals.
The Americans have relief units
operating in every refugee center.
The minimum cost OF supporting
the rehabilitation of the half million
homeless this winter is estimated at
415,0o0,000. This financial problem
is one of the most serious now be-
fore the Greek government.

RAINS MAKE FAIL
FLOWING POSSIBLE.
New WeeviI Crop May De-
veIop-Poor Grade Cotton
Now Coming In

Montgomery, October 7.-(Special@
General rains fell throughout Ala
bama during the week, which means
a great advancement in blowing for
the planting of fall crops and gar
dens, according to the weekly sum-
mary of agricultural conditions, is
sued today by f. w. Gist, state and
federal agricultural statistician. Mr..
Gist said the rains may cause new
growth of cotton squares which will
furnish more food for boil weevils.
He suggested that stalks be de-
stroyed at once where the cotton
crop has been removed.
with the last crop forecast of this
season due next Tuesday, there is
little to say concerning conditions
on Alabama farms said Mr.. Gist's
statement.
THE only thing which has hap
pened during the past week interest
ing to farmers is the general rains
over the state. These rains were
not heavy in places, but they were
of the STORYTELLING kind which soak
in without loss. The soil was in
splendid condition to receive every
drop which fell and could take in
some more in most places without
damage. Flowing may now be done
for fall planting Of field crops and
gardens. 1t is also possible to pillow
the ground for/next spring with
benefit.
THE rains may bring new growth
of cotton squares which, while they
will not make hollis before frost, will
furnish renewed food for the weevils.
Where the crop is out 1t will pay to
destroy stalks quickly now and pre-
vent this new food supply.
Cotton grades are coming lower
the past week. The first pickings
were of good grades. but the later
picl1ings are quite poor. The ac-
tual grades have not shown so low
as that the strength and length of
staple is now extremely under stand
ard, due to premature opening of
the later crops of bolls. -'rices on
the same middling basis may be ex-
pected to fall under the average to
this time"
