It is probable that the city and state officials of the other cotton states, through which the delegates will be taken on a special train, will extend similar entertain ment. The delegates, on their arri val from New York, in Washington, will meet the president and other Government officials. The Southern Cotton association, the Farmers' union, foreign and do mestic _,pinners and representatives of the various cotton exchanges, will attend the convention, and it promis es to be thle most important of its kind ever held in this country. President Jordan opened his tour of the cotton bel: today at Garner. N. C.. and lie will speak at Raleigh on the 20th. Speaking of crop condi tions. he said: "Cotton has begun to grow, but its condition is not nearly so good as in former Julies. It got a late start that it hasn't been able to recover, and it is now 30 or 40 days late. The fact that it is growing is receptive, and to realize how bad conditions are, the crop must be compaxed with past July conditions. "The stand is universally bad, and in many sections it is being chopped out. The boll weevil and insects in the southwest section of the belt have made it impossible to make a full Crop. In his speeches. Mr. Jordan is urg ing the farmers to make their ar rangements,for a slow movement of the crop-as sloy a one as is consis tent with tihe highest possible price. Mr. Jordan wi-ll begin his tour of Texas early in August. WOMEN AS FARMERS. Success of Some Who Have Taken Claims in the Northwest. New York Tribune. In the great Canadian Northwest, where the erswhile wilderness is wav ing with golden grain and towns are springing -up over night, not a few women 'have gone to seek their for tunes alone. A homestead grant of 160 acres is free, and any "head of a familv.'' man or woman, may secure it upon application to the Canadian government. Usually, of course, the applicant is-a man, but occasionally a woman essays to make her fortune on the prairies without masculine aid. Miss Marie Gilroy, of Saska-tche wan, is one of the most famous wo man settlers of the west. She put her last shilling into a prairie farm and spent seven years in a hand-to-hand tussle with fortune, sitting on her own binder, cutting her own grain. handling the plough in the furrow and doing stable duty. In 1906 her holding excited' the admiration of a young Englishman, and Miss Gilroy was induced to hand over lock, stock and barrel to -him for the round sum of $13.000. Today Miss Gilrov is tour ing Europe on the proceeds of her original $2,000. Mrs. McGilvray, who came to the Canadian West 20 years ago with six small children, is another prominent woman farmer of Saskatchewan. Be ginning almost penniless, her 160 acres of homestead have now grown to an 800-acre estate. and her children are settled around lyer in comfort and affluence. Salonre Wertman came with her husband and little family from R.us sia, and soon she, too, was a widow. She still kept on "trying to earn bread,'' as she says, and 16 years af ter her absolutely penniless start she stands on one of the successful land owners of Saskatchewlan. Mrs. Ferris is known as the "wo man farmer'' of the Portage Plains. Left with a family of young children, she has managed her farm most suc cessfully since the death of her hus band. She comes from Belfast, Ire land, and when she arrived in Western Canada with her husband 32 years ago they had no capital at all. She now has an estate of 760 acres, and her 2 sons are settled near at hand, each the owner of section and a half of land-about 500 acres. Mrs. Grant has a beautiful farm on the banks of the Canadian Killarney in Southern Mantioba. Three years ago she went there from Scotland with her ,:-nn a yrong- man just out of col le'e. and her dauwliter.
