DALLAS. June There iS mM op-
timistic tone to May crop reports
for Texas. compiled ~ the depart
ment Of public relations of the
Southland Life Insurance company.
Two features of the report are e.
pecially noticeable this month; the
surprising increase N prospects Tor
grain crops in the northern part or
the state. and consistently conserva-
tive and sober attitude taken by
farmers over the entire state.
Dryer and favorable weather, ex-
cept In scattered communities, have
increased chances for cotton consid-
erably. While ii is true that much
Of the cotton crop mad to be replant-
ed. this has been done and there
seems to have been an unusual rec
ord of growth during May. The
situation in central and south cen
trail Texas with reference to the
cotton crop appears to be especially
good. West Texas has been great
ly helped by recent rains, that Sec
ton having suffered UP to some
three weeks ago from lack Of mois-
tur=.
Reports from some sections indi-
CSIe mat n WTeaL CROP some OF
which Is now being harvested, may
be better than normal instead of be-
low normal as earlier predicted.
Other grains appear 10 be coming
along well. although there j. little
likelihood that the 2at crop will be
as good as last year..
The danger from insect infesta-
ton. as far as the -otton crop is
concerned. appeared 70 be less than
was believed a month ago.
One Of tire especially encouraging
aspects Of business conditions is
that farmers, while optimistic, are
being entirely conservative in their
predictions and expenditures. This,
Of course would tend to slow bust
ness at the present time, but as
sures extreme prosperity in the fall,
in case crops are good a. expected.
The Rio Grande Valley. both in
crop prospects and business condi-
tions Is in unusually excellent shape,
with the one exception of districts
damaged by hail.

hoped therefore that it would not be ne
.cpssary for me to make any remarks.
There is only one point the Government
wishes to raise il this Bill. AT a confer

merchants at cost By cost was meant
the cost OF the materials, handling char
ges in the States, and all charges alter
delivery t. them. and they in turn would
be allowed t. sell The material at a profit
not to exceed ten per cent to cover their
handling costs aud overhead expenses.
This the merchants reluctantly agreed to,
because they did not feel that the ten per
cent was sufficient to cover the cost OF
handling the material aud they were a

also unfair to the dealers who have Oeene
