TO COTTON CROP
Low Temperatures ! n
Northern Portion OF
Belt UnfavOrable

WASHINGTON, May 2s.--Crop and
weather conditions In southern states

Rainfall was moderate in amount and
well distributed throughout the cotton
belt though rather heavy In some Sec

belt. but the low temperatures in the
northern portions were decidedly un-
favorable.
The crop made very good progress
in central and southern Texas, but
poor TO only fair in the northern pof-
lions; the general condition Is very
good in the south. fair In the central,
but poor in the northern portion of the
state.
Growth was slow in Oklahoma, where
stands are very irregular, while the
late planted is coming up to mostly
poorer stands In Arkansas, where the
crop Is very uneven. The warmer wealth
er the latter part OF the week was
favorable In Louisiana, though the crop
is generally backward and stands poor
in the northern portion of the state.
Progress was poor in Mississippi, poor
TO fair in Alabama, and growth and
conditions were generally poor in Ten
nessee.
Somewhat better weather prevailed
for corn in southern states. Wheat
made fair progress in Oklahoma,
though moisture was needed in wes-
tern Oklahoma. Rice was favorably at
fected. by rains in Louisiana and re-
ports on this crop in Arkansas are
good.
Potatoes Doing Well
Potatoes did well, as rule, in south
ern states, and truck crops made fair
advance. Sugar cane continued back
ward in Louisiana, but did well in
F'lorids. Tobacco plants are small in
Kentucky. and 1t was too wet for this
crop in Virginia and North Carolina,
though material Improvement was re-
ported in South Carolina.
Crop conditions by states include:
Alabama: Cool weather Detarding
growth of vegetation, but showcase
mostly beneficial. Corn fairly good
stand and condition, but worms dam
aging locally. Potatoes doing well and
transplanting sweets general. Oats,

where for many years I earned live

faithful wife by my side. Those blaz-
ing stacks remind me of the days when
things were not so easy for us as they
are now, when the wolf was at the

am grateful that my children, de-
spite our earlier struggles, have grown
up to be real Americans.
ITO achieve that result we worked
and saved when working and saving

as my children return to the old home
they make me glad that my days ,of

Both migrants arrived poor. Both
lacked education. Both found their way
to Pennsylvania. Both started working
in steel mills. Both raised families.
But there the comparison ends.
One found America a land only of
toll and sweat and suffering. The 9TH
er found in America, a land of oppor-
tunity; a land of reward; a land of
happiness. The eventide of life brings
but sorrow and bitterness to the one
immigrant. 1t brings comfort and calm
to the other.
Why this tragic difference?
Did Fate deal harshly with the one
and Fortune smile upon the other? Or
was each immigrant responsible for the
shaping of his own destiny in life?
We'all, doubtless, have our own the
cries. Mine is that whether dust shall
cover our grave or flowers, is deter
mined less by fate or fortune than by
how we employ our own fists, our own
brains, our own hearts.
