COOL WEATHER
 HURTS COTTON
Rain Interferes With Field Work, Says Gov
 ernment Report

WASHINGTON. May 7.-Crop and weather conditions in southern states during the week ending yesterday were summarized today by the department of agriculture as follows:
 "It was rather too cool for the best growth of cotton in most of the south, although temperatures were more fa- vorable in the Atlantic coast districts. Rain for the first part of the week interfered, with field work in central and eastern portions of the belt, but otherwise conditions were favorable for planting, replanting and cultivation. Cotton made poor progress in Texas because of the cool nights and stands are irregular in central and northern portions of the state, due to recent un- favorable weather for germination; the general condition of the crop is fair. Early cotton shows fair to good stands in Oklahoma and planting was under, way in all sections. This work had been completed in most parts of Ar. kansas, where the early crop shows ir- regular stands, ranging from poor to very good.
 ''It was mostly favorable for cotton in Louisiana, except that the nights WcEt sEdtutE tOU GULL NAOfG WhTNutu udu sunshine are needed in Tennessee, where planting was delayed by rain and warm CT weather was needed. Conditions were favorable in Mississippi and Alabama, though there were complaints of poor to only fair germination in Mississippi with irregular stands in Alabama. In Georgia planting was. further delayed in the northern portion but elsewhere the weather was more favorable though growth was slow with much replanting.
 "Early corn did fairy we'll in the southern states, though growth was slow in west Gulf districts, planting has advanced in Missouri northward to the Missouri river.
 Potato crops did we'll in the south. Truck progress fairly well in the cen tral and west gulf areas. The nights continuel too cool for best growth of sugar cane in Louisiana.
 Condition by states includes:
 Alabama severe electric storm de stroyed considerable property and dam aged crops locally. Vegetation general ly backward corn spring oats, potatoes, truck and pastures mostly doing well i; Satsuma trees improving but more trees below average condition, other fruits doing well. Cotton planting finished in some sections of south, progressing slowly in north. Stands in south ir- regular, varying from poor to very good, chopping progressing south but coming up slowly in north.

stock market got its real start. Senti- ment among commission houses was more optimistic and although it was admit tediy impossible for tape observers defi- nitely to call the turn, it seemed to be a growing opinion that constructive market forces soon would have the upper hand.
 Bankers expressed the opinion that the market had fully discounted business re- action and now they looked for a change in the situation wherein the speculative trend, three months old,s might reverse its position in favor of higher prices. AL though conventions for. presidential nomi- nees had earlier been suggested as the dividing line between uncertainty and i'm. provement, the street now thought that the winding up of Congress would bring about such change.
 Talk of dividends at the rate of 9S a year on Missouri Pacific preferred was heard in commission house circles. but the street was inclined to treat the sug- gestion with caution largely because of earlier hints of similar action by other roads. action which failed to materializs.

out of the needs of the workers. It
is their paper. 1t is their voice. 1t
is the instrument Of their emancipa-
ton. For they have paid for it; and
the workers and farmers of America
will support and cherish it. The Daily
Worker is built upon the hearts Of
the working class. Every page and
line will be filled with their spirit.
1t never will, it never can desert or
betray them. For the Daily Worker
is the child of the workers and farm
ers of America.
The capitalist press depends for its
foundation and support upon the CAPT
talists, the big business men of this
country. The capitals press will not
desert or betray its masters-those
who furnish the money for the MAIN
tainance of the big English dailies.
The Daily Worker was founded by
the workers-it appeals for the sup
port of the workers; thus created and
thus maintained The Daily Worker
belongs to the working class and will
lead them into battle for the final
overthrow of capitalist society which
is built upon their misery and degra-
dation.
The successful outcome of the
Daily Worker Campaign Committees
drive for the 100000 is a real
achievement. The Committee con-
graduates all those who participated
and co-operated to bring about the
birth Of The Daily Worker. The next
task-150,000 readers for our dailyl

glad tidings of a new day and the
reports of the advancing proletariat
three hundred and sixty-five days in
the year.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR "THE DAILY" By JOHN BALKAN

Sunday, January 10, 1924 This date
will be remembered in the history
Of the American labor movement as
a red letter day. For on this day
there comes into being the first Com
munist daily newspaper printed in
the English language,-The Daily
Worker.
Last August, 1923 the Workers
Party of America announced the
opening of drive to raise 100000
to establish an English-language
daily. This announcement was re-
ceived with some scepticism by old
and experienced newspaper men who
said that simply could not be done.
But the 10000 members of the Work
ers Party went quietly to work. Com
mlttees were organized in sixty cities
thruout the country. The militant
rank and file pledged themselves to
buy at least one So share of preferred
stock each. The Workers Party
maintains a press in various Ian
guages spoken by the working class
of America, with circulation of over
one hundred thousand copies. Recog-
nizing the need of one English-lan-
guage daily, our people went to work
with will and inspired by their
example drew into the campaign
thousands of militant workers and
exploited farmers who out of their
little have given much.
OF the 100000 fund $4,000 has
now been raised, and the balance is
coming in with every mail. Thus in
the short space of four months a lit
tie band of determined fighters in the
proletarian cause brought into exist
ence a powerful machine with which
to aid the working class to fight it's
battles against its ancient enemy.
The Daily Worker owes its origin
to the devotion and sacrifice of thou
sands of silent and unknown heroes
of the working class of America. 1t
is born out the loins of the exploited
and oppressed workers and farmers
of this country. 1t is bone of their

The German PrOIetariat
By SIMON FELSHIN.

We will strike at your audacity.
We will know you by your spiked
helmets.
Your gold braid will not save you.
We will drag you from your horses.
On that day there will be no pity.
We will trample upon you.
We will throw you into the canals
AS you did with Rosa Luxembourg.
We are hungry,
But we are still strong.
Look to your weapons,
For we have need Of them.
For our children,
For ourselves,
For a piece of bread
We viii strike at your audacity.
Enough of war,
Enough of suffering,
We fight for freedom,
And you fight for gold braid.
The rich, the mobiles and the generals
have leagued
To put their heels on our necks.
Because you had your heels on our
necks,
And because you took our bread,
We will drag you from your horses,
And we will stamp on your faces
with our heavy boots.
Your audacity does not brighten us.
We have a greater andacity.
We will know you by your shining
boots.
Your regalia will not save you.
We will pursue you into your noun
tain fastness.
We will strike at your audacity.
What can you do against the mil
lions?
From the factories and the farms,
Against your Iron Brigades
March the hosts Of the proIetariat
Which are legion.
