COTTON CROP OVER
 STATE IN AVERAGE
 CONDITION, REPORT
Gist Asserts That Yield De- bends Largely on Weather and WeeViIS in Crop
 Report

Montgomery, June 11.-(Special.)- Weather and weevils will determine the yield of the cotton acreage in Alabama this year. according to a report on the condition of crops June 1, made public today by F. W. Gist, federal and state agricultural sta- tistician. The report disclosed an average condition for all crops which MT. Gist called quite satisfactory. While some crops were found to be late and grassy, others were ap- parently in splendid prospect for f. nal production.
 Since cotton was reported so per cent of normal May 25. rains have retarded cultivation, made the grass grow and started the weeviis in large numbers. The stands were found to be good and in southern counties the crop is clean and of good size. In northern counties the crop Is late and work is behind.
 Wheat Holding own
 Wheat was reported as 7s per cent OI uOIIHdlg IuSI AdNlDB Ghd6CA POOl prospects in some instances, while the acreage is not considered impor- tant in any section.
 The acreage in oats was found to be 90 per cent of last year and the condition s2 per cent of normal. Rains injured some fields before cut ting, while others sustained damage in the shock. The proportion of thls crop sown in the fall was 57 per cent. Mir. Gist estimated the probable use of the crop as follows: To be threshed, 2S per cent; to be fed in the bundle, AS DOT cent; to be used as hay, 31 per cent.
 The condition of hay, which at this time of year is confined to grasses and clovers, was Ss per cent of nor nal, while pastures were very near normal at 96 per cent.
 Peas and beans show a condition of S6 per cent of normal. and are growing splendidly.
 Fruit Crop Poor Orchard fruits gave the poorest prospects, with TO per cent for ap- ples, 65 for peaches, and 64 for pears. Blackberries show a prospect of S9 and strawberries went up to harvest with a condition of S6. Watermeions have a fine start with S4 per cen; of normal, while cantaloupes are not quite so good at 80.
 Cabbages at s6 and onions at S7 show uniformity good condition, with an average ST for all vegetables, The acreage planted to vegetables is estimated at 97 per cent of last year.
 Alfalfa has been slightly increased in acreage by 1 per cent. while clover lost per cent. The condition of both these crops averages 93 per cent of normal.
 On returning from a trip through the mineral and northeastern sec tions, Mir. Gist expresses himself as not quite so well pleased with gen eral prospects on main crops as for the southern part of the state. Cot ton has been planted, but not all chopped. The plant is small and has l some grass. Corn planting has been rather seriously delayed, especially in the valley lands of Calhoun and | Talladega, and that which Is up does | not compare favorably with that ir southern districts. Some corn will | be planted after this but its success | ful growth is somewhat doubtful. Many pastures are seen in splendid condition, some having their proper | capacity occupied by good cattle 1 while many others are not in use.

 Look! There goes the American Beauty'-the most dangerous 'vamp in town"
 At the exclamation, made in an eager boyish voice, pr. George Mil ton raised his eyes rather languidly. He told himself that at a. he had reached an age when 'vamps' neither interested nor tempted him. However, he could not help overhearing the conversation of group of young men behind him.
 Tt Is whispered" continued the youthful voice, that she is the wom- an in the Glendening divorce case ?
 pr. Milton lowered his paper ab- ruptly. This put an entirely differ ent aspect on the matter. Through a peculiar chain of circumstances his life was inextricab1y bound up in the Glendening affair. Although everyone in town would have pro- tested vigorously at the tiniest inti- nation that their famous physician knew anything about the case cx- cept. possibly. in an impersonal pro- fessional way. yet he actually knew more about some phases of 1t than the principals themselves.
 Dr. Milton was seated in a some what secluded corner of the hotel lobby--a place he rather affected at tea time. He liked to watch the men and women who sauntered past. It was his life's work to mend the poor. abused bodies of men and wom- en. and he found his greatest per sonai pleasure in searching their souls for at least an atom of that burning fire human beings are wont to call divine.
