Washington, July 2.?Cotton prouction
this year promises to foe the
mallest crop of the last quarter of
century, today's forecast by the
)epartment of Agriculture placing
at 8,433,000 bales, or nearly five
lillion (bales smaller than last year's
rop and nearly eight million bales
elow the record crop of 1914. This
ear's acreage is 28.4 per cent smallr
than last year's.
The acreage this/year is the smallst
since 1900 and never before, acording
to the Department of Agriulture,
has there been so great a
hange *from one year to another in
creage as there has 'been from last
ear to this year.
The condition of the growing crop
as not in 20 years been so low on
une 25 as it was this year. All secions
of the cotton "belt have been
ffected. It is due, according to
overnment experts to an adversely
ite, wet spring, and to the presence
f boll weevil in large numbers.
Hwirn* fcrt the linfnvnrahlp rnridi
?w ??? ?'
ions of April and May and to other
iscouraging factors, shortage of
Brtilizer, and unsatisfactory price,
bandonment of planted cotton acre?e
has been greater than usual east
f the Mississippi river, ranging
rom five per cent in North Carolina
ad Mississippi to as high as 10 per
snt in Georgia. West of the
[ississippi abandonment has been
ght. The abandonment was taken
ito consideration, the crop reportig
board announced, in its prelimi y
estimate of acreage.

WIILMINGTON MAN
TO HEAD SEMINARY
The State.
The second president of Columbia
Theological seminary will be the
Rev. John M. Wells, D. D., at present
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church at Wilmington, N. C. He succeeds
the Rev. Thornton Whaling-, D.
D., the only president the institution
i has ever had who resigned recently
to ibeome professor of theology in
Louisville seminary.
i The board oftrustee s of the semi:
nary met in Atlanta yesterday and
i there received word that Dr. Well?
who was offered the place at a meet
ing held in Columbia during com|
mencement, would accept. The news
j came to Columba last night in a
telegram to the Rev. Hugh Murchi|
son, D. D., executive secretary of
j the "seminary. At the same time it
was learned that a professor of theoI
logy to succeed Dr. Whaling, who
| held this chair in adRdition to his adj
ministrative duties were selected,
I . . V ' , 1 ..
out nis name was witnneia pending
advices as to whether he would accept.
tilizer license tags compared with
last year, show to May 31 for North
j Carolina about 65 per cent and to
i the close of June in South Carolina
40 per cent. Alabama 46 per cent.
Mississippi 40 and Texas' 33. Special
returns to the agricultural department
indicate only amount 55 per
cent as much as last year in North
Carolina, 50 per cent in South Caro[
lina, 42 per cent in Mississippi and
Tennessee, and 15 per cent in Louisiana
and Arkansas and compared
with the usual only 49 per cent in
Georgia and 32 per cent in Florida.
" Thus, said the bureau's statement,
all indications point to a reduction
in absolute 'quantity 'of fertilizer
purchased much greater than
the unprecedented reduction in
acreage of cotton, and this is confirmed
by the figures quoted showing
lessened use per acre. This lack is
refleected in the relatively low condition
of cotton, which is almost ten
points below the average condition
at this date. The quality is generally
reported as lower than in previous

MATERNITY BILL ]
i DIVIDES WOMEN ,
Washington, July 2.?The Shep- 1
pard-Towner bill, pending before .
the senate, has divided the women '
: of the country. The militant suffra!
jrettcs, which have acquired headquar 1
ters, called the "Watch Tower," 1
! overlooking the capitol, insist that 1
! the bill be enacted. The anti-suffra- ]
gettes are conducting a bitter fight
1 against the bill which they say
would promote "birth control and 1
free love." , ' 1
' That statement, Senator Kenyon 1
of Iowa, in charge of the bill, chal- *
' lenges. He thinks that inasmuch as '
; the congress has voted $25,000,000,
to Columbia "bandits'* it might
" vote $1,000,000 per annum for the
:: women of the country. He says that i
mand. At that he might be mistaken, j
Senator Reed of Missouri has en-j
tered his protest against establish-'
' ing a government bureau to super-j
sede the women of the country in the
" business of rearing babies. He opi
poses the government "taking charge
of the famDy life of the country." >

The bill, if it is enacted, and it j
has the support of the cogressional

proposed welfare department, to be
