eighty per ctut have been made to stata

On the subject of agricultural financ
ing, Mr. Meyer declared this "must le
based, first of all, upon the fundamental
facts of American agriculture and,
second, upon the existing economic and
financial structure of the country.
Longer term financing to meet the noevu
of more gradual marketing of agricul
tural products has been shown to be an
"absolute necessity,'.' ho said.
Although the view seems to be held in
some quarters that paper in order to
be liquid must have a sixty or ninety
days maturity. Mr. Meyer said it had
been shown during the past year that
long time papcr may bo more liquij as
to security than short time and that if
there was any differentials between? the
liquidity of commercial ' paper and that
based upou staple, non-perishable agri
cultural commodities, properly -warehoused,
tho latter is decidedly more so
under adverse conditions. '
"While it is important," Mr. Meyer
continued, "to safeguard the federal re
serve system by proper restrictions re
garding eligible paper, it is equally Im
portant, t safeguard the business of the
country, by , avoiding discrimination
against paper which may "iitoiifrly be
regarded as eligible. ."We must-not over
look the fact that while the system has
greatly euhanccd the desirability of eli
gible paper, even though that paper may
be as satisfactory in every respect from
the standpoint of security." '
The true friends of the' federal re
serve system, Mr..Meyet said, are those
who arc willing to sec' its machinery ad
justed along sound lines to meet ehangod
conditions. Those who defend ' ' its
every act atrd policy and who stand for
the immutability of its present law and
tNT7nl!itions," he sail. "may be as harm
,is those who ar,e "extreme in their

NEW YORK, Oct. 1. Ueports
the cotton crop for the month
September are not favorable, and
dications point to still another cut
on
of
in-
in
yield. Aeeordiinf to the latest' returns,
gathered under an average, date - of
(September 24 estimates of percentage
condition have been lowered 7.3 to 52.5
)er cent. This figure, which represents
the opinion of more tan 1.00(1 competent
the opinion of more than l.tfoO competent
morei. -compare with 44.7, the,, low
record figure established a year ago and
a JO -year average of 02.4 per cent.
Septetnlier, 1920, per cent condition
was estimated at 03.9, 50.8 the vear
lieforp and 68.1 in J918. It is', in
fact, tho lowest level, with the excep
tion of last year, in more than 20 years,
ulthough not the largest drop. At this
time1 in 1921 per ' cent condition had
fallen 10.4; the year before there was
n decline of 8.7 per.ceut, and in 1919 i
8.1 per eent In view of tho above. ' I

It has again U-cn necessary to re
estimates of production, and a con-!
Edition of 52.5, following the govern-!
ment s method of eaculatiou and using
the government acreage, of 34,852,000,
indicates it- possible yield, under normal
conditions, of approximately 10,53.1,600
bales. This, compares with last year's
actual yield of 7.85.1.641 bales, 13,4;i9,
500 bales in 1920 and lfi,134,930 bales
in the banner year of 1916.
Other private estimates of cotton con
dition range from 49,0 er cent to 52.4
per cent. .
An examination of the foregoinjr
shows losses,' were far less drastic, than
last month. ' For instance, Oklahoma
condition declined 12 per eent, against a
previous loss of 20.4; Mississippi, C.."
against 15.7, and Texas only 6.8
against 15.3. Next to Oklahoma the
largest reduction was Tennessee, which
fell 11.1, with Arkansas a close second

REAL STORY' OF TURKISH

Cries Of Christion Refugees For Water

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 2.
(By The Associated resa.) r "The
cries of the CVhristian refugees of

met by a Turkish lash," said Dr.
Esther Lovejoy, of New York,
president of the American Wom
en's Hospital, who has just return
ed here after a week's survey in
the atricken city. Dr. Lovejoy
declared that the world has not been

'There are atill several hundred
thousand Christians in Smyrna and
the interior, whose Uvea are in
peril, for the time limit of their

'Only .providence knows what ther

them are pushed into the sea.
Women stand waist deep ia the

" Turkish soldiers are systematically
robbing the men and wrenching rings

Britain's Recession From Neu
tral Controversy Was
What Saved Day.
KEMAL IS UNRESTRAINED.
New Difficulties Await M
British At Armistice CS
ionrerence. 4
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 2. .
(By The Associated Press.) With
. an armistice conference definitely
'fixed for tomorrow at Mudanin, ;
the peril of. war between Great 1
Britain and Turkey appeared less
menacing today.
Great Britain's recession from "
the neutral zone controversy caused
no little surprise and disappoint-
- ment there, but it waa generally ad
mitted that this step waa the only
thing which could have stayed
Mustapha Kenul Pasha's hand. It
it pointed to as another evidence of
England's extraordinary patience
and earnest desire to avoid war.
Up to the time of the issuance
of Brigadier General Harington'a , -;
temporizing note, Saturday night,
the situation looked extremely cri- '
; tical. It is now conceded that his
tact and tolerance, coupled with the
timely arrival - of reinforcements
from England, prevented the Turks
from striking at Chanak. -
The situation Saturday afternoon - ,
was so strained that a break aeem
edw inevitable. The British bad ' '
orders to defend Chanak at all costs
as the Turks were slowly envelop- y '
ing the Dardanelles citadel.
Saturday morning the Turkish ,
forces were increased by 1,500 ca
valrymen, and everything indicated
the beginning of a hostile move. i
New difficulties await the British
at the armistice conference. It ia
known that 'the Keamliats will insist
upon the British withdrawal from
the Asiatic shores of the Darda
nelles and the immediate exacuation
, of Thrace by the Greeks.
They, will probably also demand the
right to cross the straits to pursue the
Greeks as woll as guarantees against the
use of Turkish waters by Greek war
ships and transiiorts. The presence of
Greek war craft at Rodosto furnished
