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, 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 ORLEANS COTTON The following were tne ruling prices in the exchange today: Tone steady; middling 12 5-16, steady. Last Prev. Open.

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. • COTTONSEED OIL MARKET Open. Close.

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.

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, by states, with the revised figures of the de partment of agriculture, showing the area picked and the yield per acre In pounds last last year follow: 10-year 1012.

WASHINGTON, June 2.—Consterna tion reigns today among senior officers of the navy arid pleased anticipation among junior, for the “plucking board’’ goes into session to cast about for the victims for compulsory retirement. Five captains, four commanders, four lieutenant commanders and two lieuten ants are slated to walk the official plank. The “plucking board” consists of Rear Admirals Ward, Southerland, Knight, Winslow and Fletcher. The hoard today called on the bureau of. navigation for the record of all officers in the service, and these records, in great measure, will determine the victims. The, list will not be announced until the next meeting of the board, June 30. New Jury Commissioners (Special IDispatch to The Journal.) MONTGOMERY, Ala.. 2.-—Louis B. Fa-rley and George A. Thomas, of Mont gomery, were appointed jury commis sioners of Montgomery county by Gov ernor O’Neal Saturday to succeed Hart well Douglass and J. A. Thompson, re signed. 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.

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. QUESTION. 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. ANSWER. 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.

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. , • yyw nave always wanted—sent to J an V none y to us—not even f-l e P_°- , -- lt -u_ lt you prefer open faee or taunt- * °r Rente’ alze. and — — -* uam a *28,4)0 sold watch, paj „ ~a watch is yours.

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.
