 A. This disease is reported in many sections of the U. S. and the health authorities have condemned some lots reaching eastern cities. Diseased po- tatoes could not be wholesome, but cutting out-the infection and thorough cooking ought to render them safe.

Poor Start Early In Week Goes to Good
 Rises Late Tn Week
Rx Aa.nniatnd Prnss

New York, June 9.-There was somewhat unsettled tone in the cot ton market during the earlier part of the week. There was a feeling that a poor crop start had been dis counted with the publication of the end May condition figures and that the market was entitled to further reactions. As a result realizing or scattered selling showed a tendency to increase on moderate advance but good buying was reported on declines to about the 20 cents level for new crop deliveries, and when renewed rains were reported in the belt We'd nesday the market became firm and excited.
 People who had sold previously in the hope of rebuying at lower prices, were reported active buyers on the advance, while there were also re- ports of a better trade demand and covering helped to send the market into new high ground for the season in the case of new crop deliveries and back to nearly the high point of last September In the case of July con tracts.
 Profit takings checked the advance above the 22 cent level for October and December contracts today and caused some irregularily in the late nc IGACndi OA duoCtNACA showery or rainy weather in the south has been commented upon as particularly disappointing to people who had sold before or after the governments crop report of June 2. At that time there was quite gen eral disposition to look for the usual or perhaps moro than the usual im- provement in crop conditions during June but the last two or three days of wet weather brought in more nu- merous crop complaints from va rious sections of the belt and reports that boil weevil were becoming even more active.
 Under these circumstances the ad- vance of more than two cents per pound from the low price touched on bureau day, has been regarded as chiefly due to fears of disappointing end-June condition figures. Trading in the Liverpool market has been re- stricted by the Whitunstide holidays and the weeks advances from domes- .ic goods markets have inspired nc special comment. Sales of print cloths in Fall River for the week were esti- mated at 14o, GOO pieces.
 1t is reported that the advance in raw cotton brought in more inquiries for goods from the interior which might result In business if the higher prices were maintained.

Says 25 Cent Cotton
 In Sight For Old Crop

New York, June s.-(SpeciaL)-On June the United States government placed the per cent condition of the cotton crop as of May 25. 1922, at 69.6. This compares with ee.o in 1921 and a 10-year average of 74.6. The yield per acre indicated by con- dition of 6s.6 is 154 pounds. The government has again revised the acreage figures for 1921. The area planted Is now given as s1.67S,000 | acres. The area picked as S0,50s,000 acres and the yield per acre l24.5 pounds.
 The government does not make any estimate of the area planted for 1922 l until its June 25th report. Private | estimates range from an increase of to I2 per cent over last year. The coneensus of opinion Is that with normal weather throughout the sea- son, and no unusual insect damage, a crop around eleven million bales Is | indicated.
 Since May 25th cloudy and un- seasonabiy cool weather has prevailed , over large areas. Continued and heavy rains have occurred throughout the eastern section of the cotton belt. Rains have fallen in the west but on the whole conditions there have l T VI lHC thAiIe Util lAc weather has averaged unfavoraole and the condition of the cotton crop Is now probably a point or two lower than on May 25.
 l The latest available government statistics point out the situation un- mistakably, Viz: During Apral, 1922. American mills consumed 446.s4S bales, at the rate of 19,So0 bales per working day. Last fall, American mills consumed 22,S00 bales per work | ing day. In 1920, 2S. 300 per day. Talk | ing the small consumption for April is22i American mills consumed daily at S4 per cent of capacity 10000 bales Exports average 120.0O0 bales per | week. tLast week 146,000)
 The supply in America Is. there fore, decreasing at the rate of 240, 900 bales per week. On April 30, 1922 the government count was: In public l and private warehouses, in transit and on the farms in America. 4,032,00 bales.
 At the present rate, provided every bale is sold, this cotton will be 'exhausted August 30, 1922. There after, prior to free movement of the new crop, American mills will haye | to depend upon their reserves Foreign mills upon the cotton abroad and their reserves.
 With crop no larger than 11,ooo,- 900 bales, America cannot afford to export more than s,90o.Oo0 bales without imperiling her textile in- l dustry.
 Our friends are daily writing and telegraphing us for opinion about 1 the price for which cotton should sell. and we have endeavored herein to place the crop and the statistical situation before them in a clear and concise form upon which to base their view. We seriously doubt the ability of the southern farmer, with all his willingness, to plant an acre age large enough to justify yield | commensurate with the orlds needs We believe, with perfect weather throughout tn season. in view of the boil weevil menace, that yield oi 154 pounds to the acre will be full
 In our judgment price of 25c basis middling, for the remainder of last years yield, is thoroughly jus tified--J. w. Jay x Co.

dATLIfF SPLLANS TOBUSINESSC CLUB Says Insurance Based on Law of Averages Never
 a Gamble

The law of averages will be very near and equal and are never a gam ble." said W. T. Ratliff in speaking before the American Business club yesterday at their weekly luncheon held at the Southern club.
 Mir. Ratliff addressed the business men on the subject of life insurance, going into the many technicalfties in a very concrete manner. He pointed out in speaking of the law of aver ages that the insurance companies had to take this very seriously into consideration.
 The reason for the unusual high premium on insurance for a man 97 years of age is that records show that only three out of every 100 people live to be 95 years old and these three die before they reach 96." MT Rat Tiff said in answering the question of high rates in proportion to age.
 A. J. Akers presided over the meet ing in the absence of William l.. White, president of the local.

 It Is understood that there are several minor matters pertaining to the contract that will have to be ad : justed before it can be finally de- cided upon, but Judge N. P. Thomp- kins of Tuscumbia who returned from Montgomery Wednesday states that this will be done and work on the highway will ebgin immediately. The work will probably be completed within the next 90 days.

CurtniIing Production

Manufacturers of iron and steel and other commodities, when the de- mand is slow or prices low, can easily curtail their production and with little if any loss. The big item in manufacturing is the cost of labor which may be diminished by the simple expedient of turning the la Dor off. But with the farmer. 1t Is different. His labor consists main ly of himself, wife and children. He has nearly fixed annual expense to meet. regardless of demand or prices of his products; so when prices are low and demand slow, he is up against a serious proposition. He cannot easily borrow money like the manufacturer, to tide him over, but must sell something. no matter how little 1t brings How do you expect farmers to curtail production in the face of these cold facts. Some large, wealthy farmers can do 1t but the great bulk won't and cannot be ex- pected to.
 If all the propaganda devoted to curtaiiing crops, could be diverted to the diversification of same. some tangible results could be expected. A farmer Is simply making a slave of himself in failing to diversity his eftergies

Our Experiment Stations
 It Is actually astonishing how little interest is taken in our experiment stations by business men, profeS- sional and others who gain their liv- ing from industry outside of farm Ing.
 1t is unfortunately true also. that but few farmers, comparatively speaking. really give agricultural ex pertinent stations full credit for work that IS accomplished at these institutions.
 In fact, one may hear more criti- cism than anything else. People don't stop to think that some great practical results obtained, have been preceded by years of careful scien- tific research work. study and ex- perimentation. Experiment stations don't deal in opinions, but give you facts based on conclusions reached after, maybe, years of actual trials. Don't ever believe the staff of an experiment station Is made up with a lot of theorists without practical common sense.
 You have to show them or they must be convinced through actual experimentation before they will put any conclusions in print. Get in touch with our experiment stations, see what they are doing, encourage them and offer them that CO., operation they have a right to ex- pect.
