 "We feel that this growth in in- terest will not only raise large sums sums for research, but will also result in re-doubled effort on the part of scientists who seek a preventative for the disease" tho statement continued. "The com- mission Is organizing on year round basis to stim ulate this effort. We intend to do everything in our power to give the nation full bene- iit of the money raised by promot-l ing year.in-year.out work aimed at wiping the disease from the face of the earth"

Farm Advance Sets
 Pace For Recovery
Agriculture Staged Vigorous Comeback in I954-
 Comprehensive Policy Development Seems Assured

compared with 9,00O,000 in September, and ee2O,00O, 900 in october, 1893.
 The prospect for further in- provement in agriculture rests pri~ marily upon two factors. First we must look to increased indus trial production and employment, which is to say, increased ptir~ chasing power of the farmers doe mestic market.
 Recovery in world trade, and in America's relative position there in, is the second factor in further agricultural improvement. Cotton serves to illustrate the present git- uation. American output of this staple in the current year amounts to only 43 per cent of total world production, as contrasted with c pre- rc-dcpression average of 60 per cent: our present share of world production has declined by q third.
 One further aspect of the year 1894 deserves to be noted: This year has produced much additions al first hand experience with crops restriction devices and other enler- gency measures employed on be- half of agriculture

SPAIN REPORTS
 BUSINESS GAIN
Imports on Swing ito the Right-Further Impetus
 This Year Promised
By LEsTER zIFFREN

United Press Stan Correspondent.
 Madrid (UP)--A swing to the right in politics boosted Epain's business prospects in 1884 and promised to furnish further im- petus in 1885.
 Money that left the country in the capital flight after estabiish- ment of the republic in 1881 began to return when the leftists fell from power in December, 1888, and this move was accelerated In 1884 by q further conservative po- litlcal swerve.
 This was climaxed in october by entrance into the government of the Catholic rightists, who hast ened to assure business interests Spain had thrown her radical poli- cies overheard. The result was re- fiected in q bigger business turn over, fewer bankruptcies, higher bank clearings and q rise in gov ernment bond transactions.
 Better purchasing power was reflected In increased sales of such products as radio sets. The coun- try imported 8,865 automobiles and of 1034, against 6,174 and 2.156, respectively, in the corresponding period of the preceding year.
 Aside from expansion of busi- ness with the United States, Spain's foreign trade remained depressed, , exports during the first 9 months of 1894 totaling 431,573,016 gold pesetas 5S,996,023), while im- ports were valued at 616,464,850 pesetas (S84,270,745), an unfavor- able trade balance of 184,S01,834 pesetas ($25,274,722).
 The government plans to ball. ance its budget by 1897.

New York (UPj---in spite oi drought and other unfavorable de- veiopments, agriculture staged . vigorous comeback in 1894, and, on the record to date that year, would appear to have made faster and better-balanced gains than fine dustry. Tn fact, 1t may safely De said that agricultural revival is to-day setting the pace toward general recovery.
 Preliminary estimates indicate total farm cash income for tho current year of $6,660, 900 900, in. cluding 550,0O0,00O benefit pay ments and $80,O00,000 from emer- gency cattle purchases. This is an increase of 41,12O.00O,000, or 22 per cent over the preceding years farm cash income of $5,4S0,000,- 900, which included S220.000,O 900 benefit payments.
 The upward trend in farm in- come is being well sustained us shown by the fact that farm in- come for october, the latest month for which final estimates are ayail- able, amounted to $736,000.000,

PairingS for
Cup Racquet
Play Delayed
Draw Scheduled Tomorrow:
England Strong Favorite
Over America.
BY HARRY L. PERCY
United Press stan CORRESPONDENT

WIMBLEDON. England. July Is
Draw for the Davis cup challenge
round, in which the United States
will attempt to regain the historic
international tennis trophy now held
by England, was postponed today
until tomorrow. No reason was
given.
1t was believed officials of the
Lawn Tennis Association ordered
the poStponement in Difference to
Joseph w. Wear of Philadelphia,
playing captain of the American
team. 1t was known Wear had not
fully decided on his singles players.
While he was certain to name
Donald Bulge of California, he had
to choose between Wilmer Allison
of Austin, Tex. and Sidney B. Wood
Jr of New York for the second
berth.
While Allison contributed largely
to the success of the American team
in the interzone final with Germany
which ended yesterday, he won one
Of his singles and was the princi-
pal factor in the doubles victory,
he lost some 10 pounds and was
woefully tired when his stint was
done.
Crack Doubles Team Set
Wood, on the other hand, is an
in-and-outer.
Thus the choice lay between two
veterans, one a dependable court
workman who might win one of his
singles with England, and the other
a stylist who, inspired, conceivably
could capture both.
There was no doubt as to the
makeup of the American doubles
team. 1t will be composed of ALI
son and Johnny Van Ryn of Phila-
delphia.
The English team also was def
mite Fred Perry, No. in world |
rankings, and Henry Wilfred Bun
n.y. Austin will play the singles, and |
the new combination Of George Pat
rick Hughes and Charles Raymond
Davys Tuckey will play doubles.
American Squad Weary
No matter who is chosen for the
American side, and no matter what
the outcome of the draw Friday,
England will go into defense Of the
cup a favorite at odds ranging from
3 to 2 to 2 to l. England lifted the
cup from France in 1888 and re-
tanned it last year.
The English squad has had a
fortnight of scientific training and
practice since its various members
quit playing in the all-England
tourney. America, however, is
weary after it's gruelling fight to
hurdle Germany in the interzone.
The first brace of singles will be
played Saturday, the doubles Mon
day, and the remaining two singles,
on Tuesday.
