CENSUS fIUfIEMJ REPORT
ON WINTER KIT IE. I
This Compares With 82.1 Last
Year—Winter Wheat to Be
Harvested 31,367,000
WASHINGTON. May X—The average condi
tion of winter wheat on May 1 was 86.1. com
pared with 83.3 ou April 1. 82.1 on May 1.
1910. and 88.0 the May teu-year average, ac
cording to the May crop n-i»ort of the de
partwaeut of agriculture tarnaed today.
The average condition of rye was 90.0. com
pared with 89.3 on April 1. 91.3 on May 1.
1910. and 89.7 the May ten-year average.
The area of winter wheat to be harvested
was about 31.367.000 acres, or 1.940.000 seres
i 6.6 per rent> more than the area harvested in
1910. and 3.118.000 acres (.9 per cent) leas
than the area down last fall. 34,485.000 acres,
simplv that there is not enough cotton left
on the whole list. The fact of the matter is
to this country to satisfy the prospective de
mand for the remainder of the season. Conti
no long that it Is now a question of filling
nental mills and our mills have deferred buying
absolute needs. The temperature average for
the belt over Sunday was 49 against 57 last
year. The New York dry goods review says
that business was somewhat broader with
advances in certain lines, but on the whole the
trade is not buying freely.
New York advised in regard to the market
that shorts in old crops were reestless and cov
ering la July caused nervous ' advance.

BOWEN * AUBTINB WEEKLY COTTON
LETTER
NEW YORK, May B.—There are daily evi
dences coming to hand of a turning in the tide
toward much better business conditions; the
United States Steel Corporation reporting net
earnings <*f 9tJ9*K>,<KX) last January and 810.
•OdifiOfi in March. The stock market la taking
note of this and as statistics show that we have
not bad tn tlie past 15 years a bear stock
market with rail money ruling around 2 per
rent we believe that an advance in prices is
impelling. Wall stre. t discounted thia business
jwunewion In lieermb. r. 1909, and will soon
dfvconnt i.ustajf* fevival, and disregard the non
read, ring -f supreme court decisions Our
March. 1910. imports exceeded our exports by
819.000.01*0.00, whereas oar March. 1911. ex
ports sxceeded our Imports by 823.000.000.00,
caving ns a niee credit balance. The last gov
ernment crop report indicates s wbest yield
lof Ml.onn.uoo bushels, tbe greatest on record,
end 77.000.000 bushels more than last year's
. boqßtiful yield, all of which tends to greater
per capita wealth.
So much has been written of tbe strong sta
tlstical position of cotton that It Is well to re
member some of the above facts as tending t«
stiow a demand for cotton at even IXcent levels.
Tbe acreage Increase this year of 5 per eent
Is not at all bearish, as even generally favorable
weattier would not promise better than 13.000.-
O*O bales, which would find ready consumption
with any resumption of business prosperity.
••Conditions vs. statistics” was interrupted co
unfavorably that an abnormal abort Interest was
twilit up in July and October, the most active
months, and with the May position held so
stongly by interests demanding the cotton that
a covering movement ran those positions np
nearly 100 points. Tbe late start of the new
erop. with the unfavorable weather develop
m-nts caused a short covering in October and
other new crop positions which baa been but
partly eliminated. There Is still a large pro
fessional short interest, and while this reaction
Is but natural after inch a steady advance, tbe
weaker shorts hare given away, to more ven
turesome bears who will find very little cheap
cotton for sals before tbe harvesting of tbe
new erop.
Our heavy exports to Liverpool this season
at prices varying from 12 ot 15 cents were
looked upon with some suspicion and it was
feared that a speculative load of actual was
being carried. For the past month, however,
I tv<rpooJ baa daily furnished a basis for high
er prices with large spot sales at advancing
prices, and were also heavy buyers of con
tracts la this market, i reflecting a healthy
textile <*'>nuiJon. American mills have curtailed
to vreh an extent that stocks of finished goods
are very low. and any resumption of business
would find them anxiouc to proenro what little
cotton there Is left tlrie season, and at very
high prices, as there will be but a small rarry
over with no cotton procurable before September
Ist. owing to late start. We still espouse the
l< ng side on all reactions.

will prevent the chickens ever getting in the trough and scratching
the feed out- On the other hand, they can easily reach their heads
through the lattice work and get their feed. Cut ‘No. 1 shows the lat
tice work down, and No- 2 shows this raised, which makes it easy to
pour the feed in and is always in Its place and will fit when let down.
This is the hopper used in all our pens, and I have found that It saves
a lot of feed by using a hopper ot / ; e

Very truly yours, (r
R. C. Shuford, 40 Howell Mill road.
Atlanta, Ga.
I want to ask you a question, which
answer through The Journal, as it
may be of benefit to others.
I have a few chicks hatched off and
they get along all right until they are
four or five weeks old. Then I notice
in the morning when I go to attend to
them that one or two are droopy and
have full crops—food does not seem to
digest. They live for about 24 hours
and die. They are brooder chicks, in
cubator and hen hatched, and I use
Purina chick feed and plenty of green
stuff grit coarse and charcoal.
Have been struck *by white diar
rhoea and lost several, but after using
Conkey’s white diarrhoea remedy have
not lost any more.
ANSWER.
Your chicks have indigestion, and
as, at the time you name, they are
getting a new coat of feathers, it is
very easy to upset their digestive or
gans. It would be best for you to re
duce some of the grain feed and feed
them, at least once per day, a mash
feed. Also, see that they get plenty
of water before they go to roost at
night. Do not allow them to be
- crowded at night Use some liver med
icine or tonic in their feed.
A. C. E.. Atlanta, Ga.
I bought White Wyandotte eggs—.
paid price for full blood—and the cock
erels have brassy tinge on saddle
feathers. Does this denote a cross?
Can it be bred out? Kindly give me
standard on this breed. Would this
tinge debar them should I exhibit
them at poultry shows?
ANSWER.
Wlitte fowls of all kinds have a ten
dency to brassiness, but there are so
many good ones now that are free from
this defect that it is throwing away
time to try to breed from the' ones
that show it too much. However, it
can be bred out. All white fowls
should be pure white, and the Stand
ard requires a cut of 1-2 to 2 1-2 in
each section where brassiness is found
in all white fowls. It would pay you
in the end, if you expect to breed
fancy show birds, to get some eggs
or fowls from a strain that was prac
tically free from this defect.
R. C. Cunningham, Orlando, Fla.
I hotice an article by you in The
Journal about fattening hens and
fryers. I would be glad to get some
inside information as to feed and way
of feeding for this purpose. Any in
formation would be greatly appreciat

poultry and sometimes we get in a
poor lot that have to be fed up.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
B. A. R., Atlanta, Ga.
• am having trouble with my chick
ens. They have something like a
corn on their foot and it swells up
and causes them to stand around on
one foot. Please give cause and
remedy.
ANSWER.
The corn on the bottom of the foot
of your chickens is caused from a
bruise, usually from flying down off
a high roosting place. -• It is best to
make them roost on the ground .or
straw to keep them rebruising the
place. Usually It Is impossible to
cure them, and it gradually becomes
worse, especially if you go to doc
toring or fooling with them. The
best remedy is to change their roost
ing place and give them either sand
or straw insteadr of the rough yard to
take exercis® in.
W. C. Logan, Headen, Ga.
In your letter in The Semi-Weekly
Journal of the 21st instant, you say
i in reply to Mrs. 'Walker: “We do : not
breed Brown Leghorns any more.”
lit appears you once bred them but
do not now. Please state in The
Semi-Weekly Journal your reasons
for not breeding them. I have bred
many different kinds of chickens but /
none that excelled the Brown Leg
horns for egg production.
ANSWER.
Our reason for not selling Brown
Leghorns is not because they are
not good fowls and are not profitable.
They are very profitable and one of
the most popular varieties bred to
day. We simply had a good offer
for our entire 1 lot of prise winners,
and as we wlshad to reduce the varie
ties kept by us we let the party (Mr.
Caldwell Porter, of Rome, Ga.), have
them. They are splendid fowls and
certainly do lay eggs, and are well
adapted to our southern climate.
ANSWER.
You have been very fortunate in not
losing any more chickens than you
have. You must expect to lose some,
and the hen referred to evidently died
with a broken blood vessel, or appo
plexy. The treatment you are giving
them Is all right and certainly will
produce eggs. The Barred Hocks re
ferred to, as long as they lay well,
you may rest assured are not in very
bad health. I do not think it is worth
while to try to doctor them. Possibly
a change in their feed might help
them, but as long as they lay, you
needn’t feel uneasy, for no chicken
can lay unless in good health.
Mrs. Z. D. Andrews, Lovejoy, Ga.
I am having some trouble with my
young chickens. Their eyes close, but
dont’ seem to be sore—no corruption
of any kind seems to form in the
eyes. The eyes close as if they were
asleep. If you can give me any In
formation as to the cause and what
will cure them, I will appreciate It.
I have the Crystal White Orpingtons
and Rhode Island Reds.
What is better for chickens, butter
milk or sweet milk?
ANSWER.
Examine your little chickens for lice,
and also for mites In the box
they roost at night. The indications
are that these pests are sapping their
life out, which will make them weak '
and lifeless and they will sleep their
lives away. Their eyes will close up
and they do not seem to have much
life in them when affected hy Insects.
I am confident that this is the trouble j
with your chicks, or they have not
vltaity enough to make them thrive. |
Sweet mik is better than buttermilk
for chickens, but it should always be
fed in a stiff mash with bran and cqrn
meal. I
PROBE OF SUGAR CONCERN

Hardwick Resolution for In
vestigation Will Be Ordered
by House Monday
BY BA.X.FK SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May X—Th«
Hardwick resolution, providing for the

CAM ARGO IS REPORTED
CAPTURED BY REBELS
MISSION, Tex., May 6.—Camargo, in
the state of Tamaullipas, Mexico, di
rectly across the border from Rio
Grande city, Starr county, has been ta
ken by a band of revolutionists, accord
ing to advices received here today. The
rebels, the dispatch states, attacked the
town yesterday afternoon aoid at night
fall were •in possession. Whether or
not any casualties occurred the tele
gram did not say.
Hereofore but little revolutionary ac
tivity has been reported in Tamaullipas
and the attack on Camargo is taken as
an indication of the spreading of the
insurrection to the south with Matamo
ras probably the next point of attack.
Because of the burning of th® rail
way bridge over the San Juan river
announcement is made that train serv
ice between Matamoras and Monterey
would be suspended.
At Maitamoras yesterday Madero was
cheered by a crowd of men enthused in
their celebration of May 5. The police

TRUNK CONTROVERSY
MAY BE compromised
CHICAGO, May 6.—Local merchants
and trunk manufacturers who have been
engaged in a controversy with the rail
roads over the plan to charge excess
baggage rates for long and bulky trunks,
Including the “wardrobe” trunks and
other “freak” shapes and sixes, have been
advised that the Trunk Line association
representing the roads east of Buffalo
have receded somewhat from jthelr posi
tion. The roads agree to carry trunks
free up to 45 inches in longeet dimen
sion.
The rule adopted for all the roads in
the country to take effect on January
1, provided 'for an excess charge for
ajl trunks over 40 Inches. Those who
are opposing the new restriction, there
fore, are hoping that the compromise ac
tion of the trunk lines will lead to a
reconsideration by the other territorial
passenger associations.
