have become numerous and they have punctured many bolls since practically no squares were forming for them to | feed on.
 Rains and consequent damage in Alabama were less severe than in the Atlantic states. The rains in this state have brought out a new crop of squares and blooms which will have no other re- suit than the furnishing of weevil food and matching quarters with effects to be felt next year.
 "The main benefits of the rains in Texas, which began on September Il, lies in stopping the premature opening of bolls and in helping the late bolls on late cotton to mature. Many locali- ties report the advent of the weevil in large numbers since the rains began and have little hope of late crop.
 Oklahoma Crop Safe
 'The boil weeyil Had begun its work in Oklahoma before September 16, but general damage has only recently be- come apparent. However, the crop is already made and most of it is safe from frost. The top crop will be light. Frost has 50 far done little or no damage, speaking for the date of Octo- Der 1, and for the cotton belt as a whole. A light frost occurred in some of the Piedmont counties of South Carolina on October 1. An early frost in Mis- sissippi probably damaged late bolls to some extent. A frost in Tennessee on the last night of September was some what damaging in various localities, al- though for the state as a whole the damage was slight"
 Reviewing latest available infOrma- tion as to cotton production in foreign countries, the bureau of agricultural economies said:
 Egyptian Crop Good
 Reports indicate the crop in the northern part of upper Egypt has been disappointing both in quantity and qual- | ity. Reports for the southern prov inces of upper Egypt are better and the yield and quality are said to be satis- factory. The sakellaridis crop in lower Egypt is reported to be good and there are prospects of a good average yield. Rains were general and well dis tributed in India up to the middle of September, when fair weather set in. In Bengal and the United Provinces cloudy weather caused some harm to the crop. On the whole the weather was favorable and the prospects for the crop good.
 Intermittent rains in the Laguna district of Mexico lowered the grade of unpicked cotton and harmed the crop. Estimates place the Laguna crop be- tween 10000 and 150,OOO bales.
 Cotton production in Chosen (Ko. real, is estimated at 110,602 bales for 1924-25, compared with 111,O8S bales for last year.

BANKHEAD URGES. QUICK RESPONSE TO FUND APPEAL
Declares Democrats Cause Seriously Hampered
 Over Country

Distress signals were flown Wednes- day by Jesse H. Jones, director or finance of the democratic national com mitee, in telegram sent to J. ii. Bankhead, Jr., who is in charge of the collection of campaign funds in Alabama.
 The telegram carried assurances that Davis could be elected by an intensive campaign, but that the national com mittee would not be able to finance this, without knowing immediately, the contributions it could expect in each state.
 The telegram, which is a plea to Bankhead to notify the national finance director of the amount they may expect from Alabama, reads as follows:
 Our campaign has reached its most important stage and cannot be carried on effectively without money. Expenses have been running for more than six weeks and there are barely four remain ing. Committee must know now. how much money you will raise and when it will be received here. If our efforts fail, it will be for lack of funds. Won't you please appreciate this and tele- graph fully what committee may rely upon. We can elect our ticket Dy an intensive campaign. Jesse H. Jones. director of finance"
 In discussing the telegram, MT. Bank head stated that he had experienced great difficulty in getting party lead CTS in many sections of the state to take an active part in raising funds. T regret that am not in position to give Mir. Jones any satisfactory in- formation or any real encouragement about the prospects from Alabama Mir, Bankhead said.
 The only way, Mir. Bankhead sug- gests that the state may answer Jones appeal is for every democrat to get into communication with the finance di. rector or the chairman of the demo- cratic executive committee of their county and cooperate.

out decent reason, and you'd rather see the board sink than turn in your resignation. The people of this city would be mighty glad to see you re- sign. You are slowly wrecking the board, and your conduct is hurting the city. don't see how we can go on like this"
 At times the exchanges between Har- rison and Phillips became so sharp that members suggested that they "step out side and fight it out" Harrison said he would not reject such an invitation from Phillips, but the latter said he did not care to fight.
 Harriston warned Phillips and Thus ton that the city commission would not relish" their action in blocking Bow en's reelection, and that next years ap. propriation might be affected. Harri- son praised Bowen's work during the year he had served and declared Phil lips and Thuston had given him a "raw deal.", MT. Bowen wished the board well and withdrew, after deelar- ing in brief talk that he had never be- fore been faced ''by such a situation"
 Phillips Scored
 Harrison brought out after MT. Bow en retired that Phillips had "deliber- ately planned his fight on Bowen," an.l had asked the law firm of Cabaniss, Johnston, Cooke and Cabaniss for a ruling as to whether the board could re- ject a recommendation from the com mission concerning a members re-elec- tion. Harrison and Mrs. Sharp scored Phillips for this action, and Harrison charged that he represented to the law firm that he was obtaining the informa- tion for the whole board, when, as a matter of fact, no one except Phillips had wanted the information.
 Before adjourning, the board voted down Mrs. Sharp's proposal that all the members resign. Harrison did not vote on this, since he is an ex-officio mem Der who must serve until his term as q city commissioner expires.
 Mrs. Sharp's statement, issued Wednesday night, follows:
 |. Let me say this is my first state ment regarding my personal feeling to any newspaper since my election on the park board. From the day of the or. ganization of the park board to the present day there have been strained feelings between Mir. Harrison and Mir. M. P. Phillips. No matter of i'm portance have ever passed without feel ing, Mir. Phillips always excusing it OH his conscientious convictions. have come to believe some time ago that Mir. Phillips was entirely too conscientious to serve on any board where there were other members also with convictions and consciences. Since we are hoping

NEW COURSE ADDED
Chemistry Included In Birmingham.
 Southern Extension Test

Course in industrial chemistry is the latest addition to the extension depart ment of Birmingham-Southern college, according to Dr. Harrison A. Trexler, director of the afternoon, evening and Saturday classes.
 The chemistry class, which was de- signed primarily for chemists of the Birmingham vicinity, as well as doc tors and pharmacists, will meet on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the college with Professor A. K. Boor, head of the chemistry department, as instruc tor. Two hours credit will be given.
 This added course brings the total number now offered by the extension de. pertinent of the local school to a high mark, and the enrolment now exceeds 300.

for Birmingham to have big, broad park system worthy of our splendid spirit of this town, do not believe it will be possible for this to be accom- plished with a divided board. Hence my motion that the entire board resign and let a new board of big men such as was suggested be appointed. Certain ,ly none of us on the present board would be conceited efiought to believe we are necessary to the citys development except as our services and ideas develop CO., operation and the confidence of the peo- pie. There is a thing bigger than the park board; it is the city of Birming- ham. When the. city commission pre- sented to the park board only the name of Louis Bowen, whose record on the park board is above reproach, had no thought of ,belitting or even embarrass- ing the commission by refusing to con firm their nomination.

Another weather prophet went hay

No more rain until fall was Mr..

day and twice showers threatened.
