CROPSEXCELLENT,
 EXPERT REPORTS
Farmers Making Good Head way, Gists' Weekly Sum-
 mary Reports
By FRED H. GoRMLEy Montgomery Bureau, The Herald, 22l-2 Firpt National Bank Building

Montgomery. May 27.-tspecial)-
 F. ". Gist. federal and state statis-
 tician for agriculture, issued a
 weekly summary Saturday in which
 he said Investigations during the
 past 10 days show that all crops In
 the southern part of the state range
 from fair to excellent and that only
 small portion may be classed as
 receiving poor cultivation.
 In most of tho southeast section
 growth of all crops Is well advanced,
 healthful In appearance and clean.
 Tn tho southwest plants are smaller; but clean and with good stands. Tn
 the black belt a wider range of age ! and condition is in evidence, though | mostly good to excellent. Just a bit | too much rain Is falling at present. but no serious results have been jn- dicated
 Mir. Gist declines at this time to ex- | press an opinion regarding the dis I tribution of crop acreage. but says | that If any boil weeviis starve this
 year it will be solely due to laziness,
 ns there will be 8 plentiful food sup ply for all the families which 'le-
 velop during the season. They are
 reported present in large numbers. and tho yield of cotton will depend
 largely on the weather in June and
 July.
 The most noticeable activity in the extreme southern counties Is the shipment of Irish potatoes. Roughly,
 the commercial acreage may be
 stated as follows: Baldwin. 6.00o;
 Mobile, 1000; Washington, 500; Choc-
 taw, 500: Conecuh, 1000; Covington. 800: Escambia, 5000: Monroe, 1000;
 making a total of probably 17.000 acres in tho various shipping sec- tions. The early crop Is yielding something like 70 bushels. which forecasts a probable commercial pro- duction of 1.2o0. 900 bushels, or 2,i0o cars. The remainder of the state will grow more or less potatoes for shipment or local sale.
 The watermelon acreage is heavy and the crop will be much larger than heretofore. Fortunately the growers are taking the precaution
 to grow but one good melon to the
 vine. and shipments will only com l prise first class goods.
 1 Cucumbers are also coming in, and | many sections are interested in this
 crop. Larger sizes are going Into the fresh markets. while a few of the l smaller sizes will go to the pickling
 plants. Some disposition toward can | ming was found, which will extend 70 other commodities.
 Very little idle land is seen. and that is more than offset by new lands
 taken in this year. Altogether farm
 CTS are busy. are utilizing all the land possible. and arc trying to grow something for cash exchange. B. R. Coad, in charge of the boil
 weevil laboratory at Tallulah, La. reports that there Is calcium arsenare
 and spraying implements available for not more than 500.oo0 acres of
 cotton, or less than one-sixth of tho probable acreage.

ness and ambition to make. what he calls a business success. But tonight these boys were only adorable courtiers. I heard one of them telling Mrs. Chester that she rt minded him of his mother and he thought his mother the most beauti- full woman in the world. The boy on the other side said: If your hair were blond instead of white. you would be the exact image of my first sweetheart. Mrs. Chester. She was a little older than I.'
 How I loved Mrs Chester for her understanding when she turned to that boy with smile and said: That was some time ago, wasn't | 1t? I am sure that you have grown too old, too old and sophisticated to fall in love with woman older than yourself"
 was having a much better time than Eddie. The team captain had placed him at the other end of the table and there he sat looking gloom | fly about. Taking pity on him I asked him to take me home as I had to work the next day.
 Before we left the boys called on Mrs. Chester for a speech. It must have made them think that all the ! women of the movies were sublimated | mother and sweethearts. Rowing to the applause as she arose she said: I'm going to pur the memories of this night away in lavender and old lace for at no other time in my lifc have had a great handsome chap tell mo that I was the picture of the | most beautiful women he ever knew his mother. And another dear youth exclaimed that reminded him of his first sweetheart.
 Looking around this table every splendid. young face tells me---a childless old woman-what have missed. In my heart am going to adopt everyone of you and no mother can be prouder of you than I am this minute. I am going to give you a message from your own mothers. boys. Tomorrow you will go forth to win. My heart goes with you in the battle but would rather see you lose than know that you had won by any little underhanded trickery, that YOU have not carried the real courage. the real manhood. the real sports nanship that know you have within you on the field"
 As she sat down the waiter handed her telegram. She bent her beauti- full snow-white head toward the cap-
 
 her to her feet. Instantly the whole company was standing. Gently the boy put his arm about her and said: Boys. good night kiss for mother" and the whole place rung with the word mother as his lips touched hers.
 We slipped away. Eddie escorting us to our taxi. Aren't they dears, virgie?" smiled Mrs. Chester, though her eyes were wet. Then she thought of her telegram.
 Ir was gone.
 When we got back to the hotel. the clerk said: Did you get your wire. Miss Winston?"
 Was 1t mine? It was handed to Mrs. Chester and she lost 1t as we were leaving"
 T can get you copy" and he left us to go to the telegra ph desk

Former Service Men Taken From
 Bryce Hospital

Tuscaloosa. May 2s.-(Speciai.)-- Twenty-Five afflicted ex-service men were transferred on Friday from tho Bryce hospital here to Little Rock. where they will be placed in tho for mer base hospital at Camp Pike. This is the first movement of vet- erans of the World war from Ala bama to concentration points desig- mated by the recent redistribution program of tho veterans bureau al Washington.
 Before leaving the hospital here each man was presented with box of edibles, cigars and magazines by the woman's auxiliary of the Amer. lean Legion.
 There are now only 31 ex-ssrvice men at the Bryce hospital, and these will probably be sent to some other government concentration point this summer.

 Yes. but I want to grow up for Eddie"
 Mrs Chester understood.
 That night at tho college boys. party. I had for the first time 2 taste of what had imagined the fife or moving picture actress was.
 Mrs. Chester was much more ex- cited than l. She bridied and blushed like girl as those boys came up 10 her so deferential and courteous and she confided to me that it had been long while since a young man had paid any attention to her
 Youth is all one thinks about in the moving picture world" she said little wistfully.
 was grateful that these college boys were not like the egotisticoi smirking set we had been used to. I had learned and Mrs. Chester knew that moving picture actors looked tpon their work purely as a business. While they would be charming to a woman. make love to her, flirt with her in social way. yet, when 1t came 10 the studio, tho camera, or tho spor- light. they were just rivals cruelty ready to take advantage of every thing that would put them forward at the expense of others.
 But perhaps the boys we met that night would in later years assume tho same attitude. The American man absolutely separates his bush ess from everything else in his life He may be pr. Jekyll everywhere else. but when he arrives at his office or lis place of business he is certainly MT.
