The November overnment esti-
mate of this year’s cotton crop
has dropped from the October fig-
ure. It now looks as though this
year’s United States cotton crop
will turn out about 11,845,000
bales. That’s a little more than
80,000 bales below the October
estimate. It’s about 100,000 bales
less than last year’s crop. But it’s
almost 2 million bales less than
the 10 year average for the crop
from 1928 through 1.937.
This year’s lint yield was cut by
the hot dry weather in September.
But they are turning out an aver-
age of about 234 pounds. And
that’s only a pound and a half to
the acre less than last season. The
the j average 1939 yield will be the
highest on record.
But favorable weather condi-
tions in some parts of the Cotton
Belt and less favorable conditions
in others have caused yields to
very considerably from one area
to another. Compared with other
recent years, yields are turning
out considerably smaller than aver-
age in Alabama. They’re about
average in North Carolina and
Georgia. And a little above aver-
age in Mississippi, Tennessee and
Texas. They are considerably
above average in the other im-
portant cotton growing states.
Cotton has been picked early
this year. The open, dry weather
made it possible for farmers to
pick cotton almost every day. And
ginnings up to November 1st run
up to a few thousand bales over
the 10-million bale mark.
Gi*ade and staple of the new
crop-at least on cotton ginned up
to November lst-have not varied
greatly from last year’s crop.

“In spite of increased popular
education on the cancer problem
during the last decade, many false
ideas regarding this disease still
persist. Too often such conceptions
are the basis of delay in diag-
nosis and treatment. Obviously,
figures cannot be compiled, but
it can be stated safely that a fair

vaccines, colored lights, patent
medicines, pastes, salves and diets
are valueless. (10) Quacks and
their super-claims, through false
hopes and delayed diagnosis,
cause many avoidable cancer
deaths but do not effect cures.
(11) No warning comes from pain.
In the early stages and in the pre-
cancerous condition, there is no
pain or conscious health impair-
ment. The one exception is bone
cancer.
“With a full appreciation of the
above facts and the prompt seek-
ing of medical advise when there
are signs of cancer, it is conceiv-
able that many thousands of deaths
from this cause could be prevent-
ed.
“The danger signals are any
lump in the breast or other part of
the body; and persistent sore,
particularly on the face or mouth;
any unusual discharge or bleeding
from any part of the body, such
as vominating of blood, passage
of blood from the bowels, or un-
usual bleeding of any bodily pas-
sage, especially after middle age;
and chronic indigestion. Procras-
tination in the face of any of
these signs is dangerous and may
even be fatal.
“It is true that any one of these
symptoms may be caused by a
condition other than cancer; how-
ever, this fact is no excuse for
delay in diagnosis, so that prompt
