NEW YORK, June 2.—Cotton opened steady
at a decline of 3 to 17 points on lower cables
over the local holiday and favorable weather
reports from tse south. There was considerable
covering in advance of the government due at
midday, but offerlugs were heavy and the mar
ket sold off to a net loss of 7 to 15 points
^during the early trading with October and De
cember contracts breaking through the 11c
level.
• The market became comparatively quiet after
the first half hour and prices ruled fairly
steady at a net decline of some 6 to 7 points
pending the government report. Tliq official
condition of 79.1 proved a shade under general
expectations and prices immediately rallied with
October contracts selling up from 10.98 to 11.17
or about 12 points above Thursday's closing..
After selling about eight to fourteen points
net higher on the bulish condition report, the
cotton market became ocparatively quiet but
ruled very steady and within two or three
points of the best.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
NEW ORLEANS, June 2.—Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of 6 to 9 opints on
lower cables and an extremely favorable weather
map. Dry and warm weather was noted all
over the cotton region and telegrams and letters
that came in from the belt over Sunday stated
that the new crop was making great progress.
Trading was restricted by the fact that the
government’s condition report was due at 11
o’clock. Moderate selling for short account was
in evidence, but there was little buyiug for
account. The end of the first half hour prices
were 7 to 10 points under Friday’s close.
The market was dull but fairly steady until
11 o’clock. At that time the trading months
were 3 to 5 points tinder lost Friday’s close.
The condition figures of 79.1 per cent of the
normal were well under average expectations
and causd a buying wave and a quick rise in
prices. Bulls made no effort to press their
advantage, else the advance would have been
wder. Tme buying was chiefly by scared
shorts and sent . the trading months 7 to 14
ointe over the level at 11 o’clock and 4 to 9
points over Friday’s last quotations. At noon
the market was dull at a net rise of 4 to 5
points.

NEW YORK COTTON LETTER.
NEW YIRK, June 2.—Lverpool was disap
pointing and the several private repo'rts re
ceived early, which were favorable, caused*
general selling. The mapority of operator*
expected a report of around 83.5, and when
it was posted at 79.1 there was a wave of
buying. The ring was evidently short and there
was cobfclderable short covering and catching
stop orders. On the advance, however, sev
eral of the larger operators were prominent
sellers, which checked the advance. Thos sell
ing the market figure that conditions have
been so good since the report was made up that
it justifies a lower market. However, it is
very probable that with a short interest in
the market and with such a lower port, we may
look for a further rally.—Anderson.

WAYWARD & CLARK’S COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, La., Jun*» 2.—The peace
pact between Turkey and tbe allies was signed
at London, but so far has done very little to
relieve the tension in Europe. The fact that
this action was the result of pressure checks
the prompt return of confidence; besides war
like news of impending conflict between the
allies continues to come from the Balkans. THe
acute weakness of the European stock markets
reflects the character of feeling and consols this
morning show a further decline.
Liverpool shows weaknes and since New York’s
close on Thursday, futures are about 5 lower
than due on old and 3 on new crops. Spots
4 lower, sales 8,000. Weather conditions over
the holidays were very good, warm weather,
warm nights, and good scattered showers most
ly in the eastern states. Indications are for
partly cloudy weather in the upper half of the
belt, probably a few scattered showers, fair in
the lower half of tbe belt, continued warm
over the entire belt.
Te market lost about 6 points in the early
trading on the unfavorable Liverpool, good
weather, good crop news and weakness of the
stock market, but there was no selling pressure
of consequence and new crops held steady around
11.12 for October prior to the bureua publi
cation.

BUREAU REPORTS COTTON
CROP CONDITION AT 79.1
This Compares With 78,9 Last
Year, 87,9 Year Before, ,and
Ten-Year Average of 79,9
(By Associated Press.''
WASHINGTON, June 2,—The newly planted
cotton crop of the United States showed a con
dition on May 25 of 70:1 per cent of n normal,
the United States department of agriculture’s
crop reporting board announced ut noon today
in tile first condition report of the season,
which always is looked forward to with great
interest by Cotton growers, textile manufacturers
and .cotton dealers. This condition, compiled
D’Onj the reports of the correspondents and
agents of the department’s bureau of statistics,
compares with a condition of 78.9 per cent on
May 25 last year, 87.8 per cent on the corre
sponding date in 1911, 82.0 per cent in 1910,
and 79.9 Per cent the average condition for
The, past ten years on May 25. The generally
favorable growing conditions throughout the cot
ton belt since the planting of the crop had
caused much speculation as to the condition
of the plants and resulted In unofficial esti
mates ranging from 79.8 per cent to as high
as 85 per cent.
The area planted to cotton this year also
has been thp subject of much speculation in
cotton circles, but the department of agricul
ture’s official estimate will not be issued until
July 8, owing to the pasage of the law last
year which deferred this annual report from
June to a month, later. Unofficially the area
planted this year is. estimated by the most
conservative at an Increase over the 34,283,000
acres picked last year. These unofficial esti
mates range from a 3 per cent increase upward.
A 8 per cent Increase in the acreage planted
would indicate an area of about 35,311,000
Comparisons of condition on May 25 of this
year, last and the ten-year average condition,

partment of agriculture, showing the area

joint Si era Cmiteraat3oiniafl Pomfitry
December 1st to 7th, 1913
A T a recent meeting of the exe
cutive committee of the
Southern International Poul
try association arrangements were
completed for holding its third an
nual exhibition December 1 to 7,
at the auditorium-armory, where
the two past successful shows were
conducted.
This association has done more
to help the poultry industry of the
south than any one thing that has
ever been connected with the poul
try work in this section of the
country. This association was or
ganized to work for the benefit of
the industry and the breeders
throvghout the entire country, and
not? ing has been left undone or
will hereafter be left undone to
build up this industry and have it
appreciated as it should be. There
is n^ one thing connected with the
south’s welfare that needs the sup
port and attention of the public so
much as does this line of work,
and it is a hard matter to get the
people to see the necessity of this
and a harder matter to get some
one to undertake to do the wjrk
or get up the money absolutely
necessary to successfully conduct
such exhibitions as are a t^nefit to
this country.
There are but few people who
know it, but Atlanta cooped at the
Southern International Poultry as
sociation show last December prob
ably the fourth largest numbfer of
fowls ever cooped under one roof
in the Unit3d States, and it demon
strated the importance of this work
being carried on In the interest
that people are taking in this work, and it further shows that if the work is
kept up and enough people lend a helping hand towards this work that
it will mean millions of dollars to the south. The poultry industry rep
resents a billion dollar industry. One of the biggest things connected
with agriculture and one of the most important because it helps a larger
number of people than any other one line of work that can be done to
wards feeding the nation. It has also been an uphill business to get
enough people together or to raise sufficient funds to conduct such a show
as the country really needs. It costs money to successfully operate and
handle a large poultry show and have every detail connected with its
success carried out as it should be and this work always falls on a few
people and usually the ones who are willing to do the work and see the
necessity of it are not financially in a position to give it the support that
it should have.
It is no trouble for Atlanta to raise $50,000, to $100,000 to put on an
opera or an automobile show or many other popular enterprises of enter-
trainment for the people and they usually subscribe money readily, but
there are but few people who realize that when they are helping conduct
a large poultry, show in this country that they are not only helping to feed
the mass of people and helping to assist thousands of people to do Some
thing that will help make a living for them, but in addition will be help
ing themselves as well and helping the state to build up something that
is sorely needed. It is impossible to get the people to see this work in
this respect, but nevertheless it is a fact and if the people could once be
aroused to the necessity of this and lend a helping hand and support this
industry as it should be and as it is done in most other states outside of
Georgia, in a few years the people would realize in dollars and cents the
value this work, would be to our country.
At a recent .meating fourteen breeders who were enough interested in
this work to see the necessity of tt carried out subscribed and put up $50
each as a guarantee fund to finance this next show. It will require six-
teep more to have sufficient funds to successfully put on such a show as
the association desires to do this year. The association is incorporated
according to the laws of Georgia and has paid up stock to the amount of
over $3,000. It required over $8,000 to conduct the first show, and about
the same amount for the last one. Even with this enormous expense the
last show paid expenses with the exception of about $400.
The third annual exhibition, if propertly supported and this amount
that is wanted, $3,000, Is secured, this show can easily clear a nice dividend,
and in addition build up something that means more for the south than
can be estimated; in dollars and cents. The stock in this association can
he had at $10 per share, and those who are interested should at least own
one or more shares, and those who are not interested except in tbe wel
fare of our country should by all means lend a helping hand and sub
scribe the remaining amount that is necessary as a guarantee fund for the
next show. If this can be done the management will show to Atlanta
probably one of the greatest poultry shows In December that will be
cooped during the season of 1913-1914 anywhere in the United States.
The field is open in the south for this work. A few people realize this
and will leave nothing undone to build this industry to where it is justly
entitled, and every one who is inclined to help in any way possible should
get in correspondence with the secretary, Mr. T. M. Poole who can be
found at his office, 51 Inman building and will gladly co-operate with all.
He will be glad to have any suggestions from any who are interested in
the great work. Nothing will be left undone to push this
work for all it is worth from now on as Mr. Poole realizes the
importance it is to this country. The people of the south realize that we
must pay attention to something besides cotton. We cannot afford to fall
behind every year from $20,000,000 to $35,000,000 in debt for food products.
Georgia would soon be bankrupt if this state of affairs continues. It gets
worse every year, and must be corrected, and nothing will do more towards
helping bring about a change than to give the poultry and dairy industry
in the couth the necessary support that it should have, and only through
these public exiiihitions can this work be done.
It is a duty that you owe as a citizen of this state to help in every
way possible in this line of work. Some interesting matter can be had ■
in this respect by either calling on —- - __
or writing T. M.; Pooie, secretary, 51

QUESTION.
Greensboro, Ga.
I enjoy your department in The
Journal and .now come to you for
advice. Have been attempting to
produce a new breed, of chickens, a
cross between the Buff Orpington
and the Frieslands. Have now some
of the most beautiful birds. When
. the young chickehs first get in
feather they are . pretty enough for
millinery purpose. Have four hens
and one male. Lost some by care
lessness when my health forbid me
to care for them. Ha,ve a lot of
young ones. Do you suppose any
fancier would like to purchase the
enterprise and pay me the worth
of them? Of course, I would want
a nice price, for there is money in
them, I am sure. If you could in
terest some one, would be willing
to pay you for the trouble if sale
was made. Could have them in con
dition by early tall, as the plumage
is not good on the hens that have
been sitting. My health and want
ing to put our oldest child in col
lege only prompts me to offer them
for sale, as I feel sure they would
be a good enterprise to bring in
money. Qr, would you consider the
proposition yourself and produce a
famous chicken for America?
A READER.
ANSWER.
If you would advertise your chick
ens and give a good description of
their superior merit it is likely .you
could find a buyer for them. I could
not use them myself, as I only
keep the three leading standard va
rieties and would not like to take on
any others. However, I am confi
dent your chickens are handsome
and could be made profitable. Some
one may be interested in them if
you will let the public know you
have them by advertising them in
The Journal, as. ypu suggested they
would be valuable for their plumage.
water will usually do the work.
Some times the second application has
to be used, but not often.

Greenville, Ala.
Please tell me how long after
chickens Have been dipped for lice
before they can be used for food.
Thanks for the expected favor.
MISS O. H.

There is more or less odor from
dipping for two or three months
afterward, and it is not a good
idea to dtp your chickens that you
wish for table use.

QUESTION.
Satillo, Tex.
I am a new subscriber to your pa
per. I am coming to you for some
information. I lost a Art® cockerel
a few days ago, and have a pullet
now in the same fix. They get
stiff in their legs and droop around
a day or two and become stiff all
over and live a day or two in that
fix. They eat hearty as long as they
live. I have been feeding them
corn and oats soaked over night In
boiling water, and shorts two parts
to one of corn meal. I have some
Silver Laced Wyandottes that I
intend to pen and would like to
know what to feed them to get
the best results. My fowls have free
range.
Thanking you in advance, I am,
A SUBSCRIBER.
ANSWER.
It would be imposisble for me to
tell you the trouble with your
chickens. Very often they will get
out of condition, and especially
when they are orb a free range
caused from eating something that
does not agree with them. But, in
your case it appears to be rheuma
tism that has effected your two
chickens. When they get In this
condition it is best to kill them as
they are never as a rule worth
much afterwards, j It; will be best
for you to use wheat bran with
the corn meal instead of shorts.
The feed would then be nearer a
balance ration. , •

QUESTION.
Eufaula, Ala.
The questions asked and answered
in your paper artU-very Instructive
and interesting to fne.
I have a question and it is this:
What is the cause. treatment
for limber neck?
I have a fine Barred Plymouth
Rock about four months old that is
peculiarly effected. Eats, keeps
fat. At night and often in the day
down and twists his neck. When I
take him up or he is handled his
head falls. I would like to know
of a treatment. All of my other
chickens are well. I only have
the B. P. Rocks and they are beau
tiful.
MRS. C. P. D.
, ANSWER.
Limber neck is caused from eat
ing putrid matter and will kill In a
short time any chicken that gets
it. Turpentine given in soft feed
will cure limber neck if given in
time. Your chicken evidently has
some nervous effection which has
caused the trouble.
Conkey’s Limberneck cure is best
thing to use, as it acts quickly
and counteracts the poison, but tur
pentine is next best thing to use.

and rubbing on the fluff, under the -
wings and a small amount on the
neck this will run the insects off.
Apply only a small amount as it
will blister if it touches the skin,
and dangerous to use on young
chicks.
Do not put any of this mixture on
any setting hens, but dust them
witft good insect powders.
During the summer or during any
warm day chickehs can be dipped in
Bee Dee Dip or any other good dip,
which will not only kill the lice but
will kill the nits.
