Rain in the latter part of August rotted potatoes in some sections, hampered the maturity of corn, and flooded lowland cotton fields. The drenched soil also prevented farmers from plowing land tor winter wheat crops. Potatoes are doing well in the northeast but in the middle Atlantic state and Ohio valley rains have caused "wet rot” among the tubers. Too (severe mois'jlire also damaged the late tomato crops reports to the department said. Tobacco and corn were the only crops benefitted by rain. The corn crop, however, has now had sufficient moisture and needs dry warm weather to hasten maturity.

SPAIN AGAIN OFFENDED BY LEAGUE COUNCIL Delegate Absent From Meeting Os League Council With Foreign Ministers U. S. RESERVATIONS ARE DEBATED TODAY Geneva, Sept. 2—(United Press) — i When the league council met today ' with foreign Minister Benes of Czecho-Slovakia presiding. The con- i splcuous absence of the Spanish delegate increased apprehension that yesterday’s rejection of the Spanish claim for a permanent sea! on the council would hasten Spain*s withdrawal from the league. It was understood that Spain soon will advise the secretariat of its intention of disinteresting itself from the council's activities. Informed observers believe that Madrid will await both the council’s and the assembly’s formal confirmation of refusal to give Spain a permanent seat before actual withdraw- ) al. however. It was reported that Quinones De! Leon. Spanish delegate who for years I had reserved a suite at a Geneva hotel in advance of the league gathering. has omitted, for the first time, to make such reservations. Geneva. Sept. 2 — The United States senate’s reservations to the world court were debated by the conference of courtisignatories here today, the last half of the fifth reservation being the first major subject of discussion. On behalf of Poland M. Rostworowski, law professor at the University of Cracow, insisted that tihe reservation should be accepted in the same spirit as the others, namely that it was intended merely to give the United States tlie same equality as council members and also guarantee, against an advisory opinion being i given against the United States with out the latter's consent. He held I that this position was just. o To Attempt New Record -Por Continuous Driving Fort Wayne, Sept. 2—ln an effort to break bis own world’s record for endurance driving, as well as the local record hung up by “Cowboy" Seeley, of Oklahoma, two years ago.

Cal., Sept. 2. — (United Press) —Along with a gift of his $200,000 estate to the University of California, William H. Smyth, noted inventor and philosopher of this city, attacked the present educational system he hoped his gift would benefit. In announcing donation of his eighty acre estate to the school, Smyth contended the methods of education are al! wrong and. like Topsy. "just growed." He said that instead of preparing the rising generation for life, college ■ training as meted out today has no value whatever to the average college graduate. “The college and university of today lias a tendency to torn out animated jumbled indexes, not trained human beings,” he asserted. "Educational ideas are bound to undergo great changes and the hope for the future rests in science and a scientific training." o East Buffalo Livestock Market Receipts 1200, holdovers 378. weak to 25c lower; lights off; most 200 lb down, mostly $14.75.@14 85: 225 to 250 lbs [email protected]; 250 to 300 lbs [email protected]; 300 lbs. up $12.25@ 13.00; packing sows $9.50© 10.51); cattle receipts 300 steady; good 1100 lb. fc>ers $10.25; medium grass steers and heifers $7.50<fD8.60; reactor cows $3.004K>4.50; calves receipts 50; a/ound steady; top veals $16.50; Speep receipts 300. weak to 50c low- !; top native lambs $14.50; culls 10.60011.00. i
