Morgan, president of the I 1'niviM'sity of Tennessee, and who has 1 made several tonrs of tho cotton belt j on investigation for the department ' of agriculture. One of the principal subjects cover- | ing the recommendations is the fight against the boll weevil. To'overcome | its ravages it was said to he of first 1 necessity to mature the largest possi- I hie crop in the shortest possible time. ' To accomplish that end the ectton I council's recommendations include: | Selec tions of well-drained, fertile j soils; if possible, only land capable of producing, with reasonable fertiliza- | tion, at leant half a hale per acre. Preparation of a good seed bed liher- j ally fertilized. Planting of good seed of improved, i i early maturing variety, recommended I for the locality by the state expert- 1 ment station and department of agriculture. i lauiiiiK "i seeu or a single variety by entire communities and counties.

Washington.? Kconomie conditions throughout the country are swinging back to 1!I20 levels, according to the survey of current business during Oe- . toiier issued by the commerce department. "The clearing up of the bituminous coal situation," the survey said, "has enabled the steel mills to increase their operations, hut the unfilled ordere continue to gain. Production oi doiii imumtnrms and anthracite coal show further increases, but the transportation situation, with a record postwar shortage of cars, is still a limit ing factor, not only lor coal hut steel, building materials and other products for which the demajid has increased. "Dwindling stocks, delay in transportation and Increased wages clue to labor shortage, have combined to raise prices to a marked degree. The volume of business, as reflected in sales of mail order houses, chain stores and in bank clearings and debits, continues to increase and expand to meet these conditions. This has resulted in a r'se in interest rates and a fall in bond prices. Widow Will Be Given Pension. New York. Although Mrs. Frances Stevens Noel Hall, widow of Itev.

EXPL7?Q ^ALABAMA 480 MINERS ENTOMBED WHEN AN EXPLOSION OCCURS IN WOODWARD IRON MINE. FATE OF 215 IS UNCERTAIN 125 Men In the Mine When Partly Whe^ked by Dust Explosion Removed Hours Afterwards. , Birmingham, Ala.?Seventy minora were killed and sixty injured some of them seriously, in a dust explosion in Dolomite mine number 3 of the , Woodward Iron company, nine miles from this city, which trapped 480 of the workers beneath the surface, according to an official statement issued here by D. E. Wilson, treasurer of the company. Daniel Harrington. United States mine rescue official stationed here, had previously sent a message to- the Pittsburgh station, estimating the dead at 50, with at least that number injured. State militia Is gradually assuming charge of policing the district surrounding the mouth of the pit and it was stated that martial law might he called to avoid congestion about the mine, owing to the influx of the curious. According to Troasurer Wilson. 1 many of the injured were already > at their homes after receiving first ! aid treatment at the mouth of the I mine, their hurts being only of a I minor nature. Company physicians j worked at top speed in emergency hos- j pitals established on the ground at ' the mouth of the mine. Mr. Wilson stated that the miners j believed to have been fatally injured ; had been removed to the Elizabeth j Duncan hospital at Rossenier, near the ' scene of the accld' nt. The fate of 213 others entombed , in Number 3 mine was regarded as ! uncertain by rescue crews who aug- j metited their force for exploration of all entries of the pit. One hundred and twenty-five men out of the total of 4S2 in the mine when it was partly wrecked by a dust explosion, were removed late In the day from the pit by means of a mtm-way connecting ! mines Nos. 2 and 3 of the Woodward company. Fifty of the men were hp- j ported injured, a few seriously. Fifty men, mostly white. were caught under the wreckage of the j three "skip" cars which plunged at j great speed when they broke loose ! from their moorings on the tipple j 1100 feet above. Rescue crews found mangled bodies and a score of injur- I ed men entangled with twisted steel and splintered wood.- The men were skilled workers, many of them sub- ( foremen and electricians employed in \ the underground "yard." ! i Rescue workers reported that the i number of dead would run high, ft ' being believed that many of the re- t mnining 21 f? unaccounted for would , I be found dead or injured. Fire, which followed the explosion, j hindered the work of rescue, and was j believed to have beeii responsible j for many deaths. The injured aniong . the first men rescued were removed: I to Bessemer hospitals. As the work of rescue progressed. ! reports brought to the surface grew ; less hopeful. One squad of workres ! reported seeing bodies "strewn all i along the main passageway.'' As darkness came. women and j children, white and black, crowded closer about the mine anxiously waiting in common sorrow word from the pit. The injured were being removed by rescue crews, while undertakers' assistants were preparing for removal of the dead found In the entries nearest the man-way. No attempt at identification of the dead or seriously in jurco uad tieen attempted, the work of emergency relief claiming first attention. All the doctors and nurses in the community had been marshaled l to care for the wounded. | i The American Red Cross aent a t corps of nurses and assistants to the i scene of the disaster. Ambulance i companies armed with lung motors. . joined the rescue crews, whoso op- | ' rations were directed by Kd Flynn. head of the Tennessee Coal, iron and , Railroad company's safety department. | and Frank H. Crockard. president of ( the Woodward company. , Officials of the company directed , that every effort should be made to , identify the dead and injured, in order to relieve the suspense of the , hundreds of families In the camp. < At the company's office la was j stated that out of 475 men who check- < ed In for work, 40ft were underground , when the explosion occurred. : Big Price For Strawberry Plant.
