TEXAS CROPS IN POOR SHAPE Federal Report Reveals Farm Conditions AUSTIN, Aug. 13. (P)-Cotton and corn were urgent need of rain on Aug. 1, with the indicated production of those crops still above last year's production, the monthly crop report of Carl H. Robinson, senior statistician for United States department of agriculture here said today.
Cotton was at a critical stage the report said. general rain followed favorable weather conditions could improve the crop while continuation of the dry weather over the northern half of the state could easily couse deterioration. Corn reports varied from good in portions of the south and southeast, to near failure in the severe drouth areas of the west and east. Most of the corn was ripe but late corn needed rain urgently. 4,496,000 Bale Crop Indicated production of cotton was 4,496,000 bales compared with 3,940,000 bales a year ago, equivalent to 61 per cent of normal.
Corn production was estimated at 64 per cent of normal or a crop of 000 bushels and an averaged yield of 18 bushels per acre as compared with 86,127,000 bushels last year. Grain sorghum was estimated at 59 per cent of normal, with the total production 46.368,000 bushels, practically the same as last year. Prospects were poorest in the important northwest counties, and the crop would benefit from a soaking rain. Rice was reported as 82 per cent of normal and the estimated production 8.200,000 bushels as compared with 7,524,000 bushels last year. Tame hay, deteriorating in the last month, was 65 per cent of normal, far below the five-year average.
Production was set at 000 tons, this indicated yield being the lowest since 1918, with the exception of 1925. A year ago 744,000 tons were produced. The alfalfa condition was estimated at 68 per cent of normal and seed production was expected be short. Other Crops Rain was needed for the broom corn crop in the northwest, but the indicated yield of 1,320 tons was slightly above last year when 1,200 tons were produced. Western peanut acreage was in need of rain, and the condition was the lowest in 15 years, again excepting 1925.
Indicated production of sweet potatoes was 6,780,000 bushels, against 7,384,000 last year. The condition of pecans was much better normal, was still too early to forecast accurately, the final production the Due to the cold winter, citrus fruits showed poor condition and there was no increase in bearing acreage, but to. freezing of small trees. Quality was expected to be good. The commercial peach crop this year was a near failure.
With have moved, whereas 569 carloads ments about over, only, 21 went out last year and 278 carloads the yea: before. Pears promise about 50 per cent of a normal crop of 325,000 bushels, against 455,000 last year. Apple and grape production promises to be smaller than a year ago.

"If the committee is of the opinion that my assistant did anything wong or unethical in that case, or failed to do his full duty, I will tender my resignation.

ALLRED CHIDES a HIS OPPONENT ORANGE, Tex.8, Aug. 13.
(A)- James V. Allred of Wichita Falls, candidate for attorney general. panned his opponent, R. L. Bobbitt of Laredo, incumbent, in a speech today because he did not carry Hill county, where he was born and reared, in the first primary.
"In his opening speech at Hillsboro my opponent said if the rest of the state voted like 'old Hill county' he would be entirely satisfied with the result." Allred said. "If every county in Texas had voted like his home county, I would have led him by over 62,000 votes instead of the 30,000 that I bested him. He is the only state candidate that I ever heard as far back I can look who couldn't even carry as his own home county.

Both are strong vote-getters. Bulkley furnished the greatest surprise of the primaries by winning a substantial victory on his platform of dry law repeal. In the general election, he will face Senator Roscoe T. McCulloch, a dry Republican who appointed to office, and whose statewide strength is an unknown quantity. The overwhelming renomination in Arkansas of Senator Joe T.
Robinson, the Democratic leader, was virtually a foregone conclusion. He will be re-elected for sixyear term without opposition." The nomination of John T. Bankhead in Alabama, who defeated Frederick I. Thompson for the Democratic nomination means that he will face Senator Tom Heflin in the November election. The latter must run as an Independent, having been ruled off the primary ballot for bolting Al Smith in 1928.
Bankhead is an able lawyer but his conservative policies will make him a good target for Heflin to shoot at. especially his record on Muscle Shoals. Heflin will seek to show that his opponent was tied up with the power interests trying plantab off the government's huge The Norris victory was particularly significant because the old guard had been gunning for him since he bolted President Hoover to support Al Smith in 1928. Likewise he had the opposition of the power trust, which smarted under his success in keeping Muscle Shoals out of their hands for the past 10 years. Charles W.
