Government Cotton Crop Forecast

A crop Of l4.s2! 900 bales Of 500 pounds gross weight
with the conditions on Aug. l placed at s22 per cent
Of normal compared with 6ee per cent a year ago and
a 10 year average Of 672 per cent is the forecast Of
the agricultural department Of the federal govern
ment.
Forecast in Texas was placed at approximately $780,
600 bales above the short crop Of 1929. A severe
drouth affected the crop in Arkansas. Louisiana. Mis-
~sissippi. Oklahoma. Alabama, Tennessee and Mis-
souri, According to the forecasters should rains come
more than average improvement Is likely because Of
the relatively small number Of weevils.
Commissioner OF Agriculture George B. Terrell has
let II be known that cotton growers in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley and the Nueces river valley need TO-
900 pickers to gather the crop Of fleecy staple.
Mexicans have been shut out. That is Mexicans in
Mexico. II Is the irony Of fate that Representative
John @. Box was shut out Of congress on the very
day the state department bulletin announced that the
Mexican immigration problem had ceased 10 exist.
In other words thousands Of Mexicans had deserted
Texas for Mexico and the port Of entry doors were
closed to Mexicans In Mexico who would like TO
lift the barrier and cross the Rio Grande river.

The Once Over
THE SUMMER vACATIoNIsTs' RELIEF FUND
Copyright. 1880. by The Associated Newspapers)

Thanks 10 q generous and immediate response from
the public. the vacationists' Relief Fund Is now going
ahead with its annual summer campaign. Already
hundreds OF summer vacationists have been rescued
from the 'ordeals Of summer resort life and brought
back to the comforts Of their own homes. One OF
the most humanitarian rescues yesterday was that Of
an entire family lured to q summer hotel by the adj
vertisement OF a strictly private beach"
1t found the beach the bathing habitat Of sixteen
different communities. as well as a public claiming
ground. The father and mother suffered serious body
bruises elbowing their way to the water and two OF
their three children were trampled on by the bathing
mob.
Attention Of the vacationists' Relief Fund was call
ed to the pathetic and typical case by the Red Cross.
The fund supplied the money at once to rescue the
family from It's miserable plight.
Then there was the case OF Mr.. x. q middle-aged
office worker, who. greatly fatigued. went to a sum-
mer resort and found himself in O hotel entirely sur
rounded by Tom Thumb golf courses Mr.. x was
poised on the w~indow-sil for q five-story jump TO
oblivion when an agent OF the vacationists' Relief
Fund saved him. Writes Mr.. x:
Il shall never forget my gratitude to your fund.
Thanks to its great work I am now back In the Of
flee, where I can get some rest and sleep"
Another letter ~testifying to the worthy cause
reads:
Vacationists' Relief Fund:
Gents:-I was at a seaside hotel in q state Of
starvation due to the fact I cannot live on corn-on-
the cob and clam chowder. An agent OF your fund
heard of my plight and transported me back to my
own home. Words can never adequately picture what
it meant to me to get a square meal again.
Ever grateful,
A FATHER.

United States Delegates Working Tcycrishly to Conclude Task in Time t% Return On Steamer Lc- yiathan By April p.

London, April II Rl-The "big five" delegates to the naval confer ence today decided to hold a plen- ary session on Monday for the pur- pose of receiving the completed work of the conference.
 Another pienary session will be held Thursday for signing, if it is possible to prepare the prospective treaty by that time. Should it be impossible to get the treaty ready by Thursday the signing probably will be defeated until after Easter. In any event it is hoped that the heads of all the delegations will be in London for the signing whenever it occurs,
 "The treaty will take the form of a three part five-powcr agreement in which the backbone will be a complete agreement between the United States, Great Britain and ton of all catcgories of sea arma mcnts and a supplementary agree mcnt including France and Italy concerning matters upon which all the powers are in accord.
 We are very well satisfied with the treaty which is in prospect from our labors," said Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald after a meeting of the heads of the delegations at St. James palace this morning. 'The treaty is substantial step in the direction toward which we have been striving in the face of diff culties which at times appeared to be almost insurmountable,'
 Tremendous Task
 The drafting of the treaty and getting it in shape for signing by next Thursday is a tremendous task and some of the experts were doubt ful if it could be achieved. Most of the dcliberators today, were hard at work preparing treaty draf; and virtually the whole American

Several petitions are being circu- lated for the erection of junior high school to be located in the west end and it is reported that in terest in the matter is running hign with adherents of the plan bending every effort to secure q sufficient number of names to impress the the school committee.
 Sponsors of the movement and the residents of the section say they have long felt the need of fa- ciltics and they feel that something should be done to eliminate the necessity of sending their children to the Ccntrats sJunior High school on Main street.
 It is the contention of the peti- tion circulators that the location best suited for such a project should be somewhere between the two grade schools now serving the district namely, the Vance and the Lincoln schools
 Failing in the securing of a new building those sponsoring the move ment say that something should be done towards the granting of space in the buildings already available.
 The matter will be brought be- fore the next meeting of the Par ents and Teachers association of the Lincoln school which is to be held next Tuesday night. It is under stood that this matter will be the principal subject of discussion at the meeting. Earle K. Bishop is the president of the association and is interested in the subject.
