TMs is 1,365,000 bales more ^ than forecast from the July condition figures, the result of excellent growing conditions throughout the ' cotton belt during August. The ccndition of the cotton crop of ^:e Un'ted States on August .25 was ~3s.o per cent of a normal, the United States department ci agriculture^ crop reporting board announced at noon today in its .ourth- condition report of the season.

Following toe last condition report f in July the crop reporting board announced that the condition of July 25 forecast a yeild of 179 pounds of cotton per acre, which on the acreage reported July 1, viz., 36,960,000 would produce 6,616,000,000 pounds of lint, or about 13,800,000 bales c? 500 pounds gross weight It added that if an allowance of one per cent, be l ma Hp for a bandonment of acreasre.

The official figures of the crop reft porting board announce the equiva| ent in yield or 100 per cent, condition ' on August 25 as 259.7 pounds per acre. With an avearge of 36,590,000, making an allowance oi. one per cent, '.or abandonment, the forecast of yield as indicated from the Augu#t 25 condition can be obtained in points. This total of pounds may be reduced to 500 pounds gross weight T bales by dividing by 478.1 pounds, tue average net weight of such bales. Conditions by States.

I have read Secretary Baker's letf ', ter and Congressman Aiken's reply. t I am familiar with toe facts and would . state most positively that Congressman Aiken inserted in the Congress sional Record during the second session of the 5Sth?congress an extended speech in favor of foreign immigra: tion, as well as introduced a bill, H. R. 14S33, for the purpose of bringing foreigners to the State at' South Caro! lina and t'.:e South; failed to vote on : any one of the five roll calls during the - month of December 1912 when the splendid 60 page immigration bill prepared by the congressional im , migration commission, was up and passed, although he did later vote on a conference report and to pass over Taft's veto; was one or 17 to vote against the Pure Food Law, June 23, 1906, when no other congressman rom , the State voted against it and when ; nearly 100 southern and southwestern congressmen voted for the bill; and the like.
