' k Un August 25-Zb will be held inl Ureensboro an Jnter-etate Uinven-rto tion of ' the" Farmers' Co-operative and Educational Unions of North Carolina and Virginia,, the-.object being to urge Nthe farmers to pool their tobacco. - It is expected that between 1,500 and 2,000 farmers will be in attendance. ' , , ,." The meeting promises to be one of the most important ever held by the farmers in this State. Owing to the poor crop of tobacco this year the farmers believe that they can get good prices for what tobacco they raise, if they wiH only hold it for these prices, forcing the tobacco trust to" come to terms", as it were. It js understood that the farmers are in hearty sympathy with the proposed move and will be present to manifest their desire to each oth er, t . i Charles S. Barrett, president of the National Farmers' Union, will be present to urge the adoption of the proposition Hon. Jool B. Fort of Adams, ' Tenn., will" also make "ad dresses before the convention. ' Price of Tobacco. There is much -speculation now among the tobacco men as to howlo- bacco will sell the coming season. To bacco farmers are of, course, more In terested in this question than buy era, as they are more directly affect ed. It has been our opinion for Some time, and we see no reason for changing how, that prices would be better this year . than for a good many years past. ' As a matter of fact, iu the face of tw Bhort crops tobacco would nave sold high this year, if there had been no distur bance of the business, on account of legislation and lawsuits. It may be that the American and Imperial Com panies will proceed to buy as if noth ing had happened: In fact these companies are already buy ing - on those markets which have opened up in the South and and we are of the opinion, thai matters wilU be ar ranged that they will continue pur chachasing tobacco as usual. From reports received last week prices on opening sales were at least fifty per cent higher than they. f were last year. - It has been stated by4 those who know that the quality is not so good as last season. If these prices should continue bright tobacco will sell high, and Wefeelieve that the . average bri the entire crop for some years will sell high.; . ; r In this connection we would warn tobacco farmers to market their to bacco in good condition. ' Pon't tush it to the market too last, j Handle it carefully, and see that it does not damage Souther Tobacco' Jour nal. ' :yi'-,-':Si:ii-p Bow a Juror Was Lost.

Speed of Eipreis Trains Creatly The Scientific Americaa is much Interested in things scientific, and, as aviation falls within this scope, it frequently gives much space to the doings and the deeds of the airmen In its last issue it discusses the "amazing progress in aviation" that is now taking place on this mundane sphere.

The drought of 1881 was notable, prob ably the most severe -in this section at least, since the civil War. "; The opinion has been expressed that the drought this year is as bad as that of 1881. This writer; doesn't know how the rainfall of the present year compares with that or. JSSi, as weather stations and records were not so common nor so well kept then as now; but we are-or '-the opin ion so far as this section is concern ed, that the present drought, gener ally speaking, is near so disastrous as that of 1881. . Vs ; ' The modern method of farming, especially deep plowing: .shallow! cultivation and the , conservation of mosture has enabled the crops to stand the drought much better than they 'would under the methods of farming extent in 1881. . . But the drought this year is severe in spots only, While there is a general short age of rainfall it has been sufficient in most localities to make good crops if the moisture continues sufficient while the crops are maturing this month and next. In some localties crops are almost a failure if those conditions are as bad as in the noted dry year of 1881 ' But , those locali ties are comparatively few. : ? ,! . d;Our recollection is -that the drought of 1981 was general at least; there were few if any favored spots and the crops failure was Almost general.

He said he would meet nis wite ana daughter over there and take a motor trip through France.-' "I want to forget all about business," he said, "and have a chance t,b w,orry a little." Asked for an explanation, he said he hadn't had a chance to worry for twenty-two years, that he had "been too busy." Life is a burden to many people be cause they worry so.

Do not rob yourself of a little rec reation. No matter what excuse one offers, a day, or a few days of re laxation and rest from thecontinuen grind of whatever occupation one follows,, is imperative.

VERY FAVORABLE. The Situation as Viewed by The . Memphis Commercial ' :-: Appeal: ' CONDITIONS ' IN TENN. Bo:l Worms, Caterpillars and Other Insects Affect the Outlook and Blight is Feared. Too Moch Moisture In Some Sections Memphis, Tenn. The Commercial Appeal says: Crop reports are less uniformly fa vorable than heretofore. ' Excessive rain has fallen in the Mississippi Val ley States and in Oaklahoma, while North and South Carolina have suf fered from drought and shedding. Boll worms, army worms and cater pillar have in many counties in Tex as, Mississippi and Alabama and the excess of moisture for the season makes some of the planters fear fust and blight and an excess of plant growth. These conitions make the situation rather less satisfactory; but the outlook is still excellent, as the damage from these trouble has not been heavy. . The plant has grown large and seems very healthy in all states save the droughty districts of the the two Carolinas and a little portion of northern Texas. It has taken fruit well and if the present crop set on the stalk is matured the yield will be a large one. "'. ' ' ' ' Picking has been delayed by the abundant moisture supply and the crop will not move as early as ex pected in the central and eastern states for this reason. Boll weeyji damage has been very slight up to the present and, the crop in the infested districts promises to turnout well. .'. . - ' A gradual ' return to dry, warm weather is desirable. Decline in Condition of Crops. -: Washington, A tremendous de cline in the condition of crops, gen eral throughout the county and trac eable to drought nd -intense heat, occurred during the last-month; as indicated by official figures! and esti mates made today in - the Monthly Crop Report 'of the. Department of Agriculture.' ' 7: :,v - - : '?. The report today is the wort, as to general crop conditions, that the de partment has issued for any single month since 1SJ01. 1 ; The area most seriously affected extends from New .York and Penn sylvania, westward to Rocky Moun tains, embracing all of the great corn, wheat' and 'hay.; producing states in the country. In the South ern States, with the exception of Virginia and North Carolina, ample rains served to maintain generally favorable conditions throughout the past month.' These conditions th s far continue to be favorable A k Condition in the Pacific North- weastern States are regarded as ex cellent, although during July that territory suffered from a brief, but excessively thot period. , - The figures contained in the report indicate a material slump 'in the prospects of all;crops.
