SESSION URGED - INCOTTON CRISIS North Carolina Governor Ap- peals to Hoover, Seeing States’ Curb Plan Vain. By the Associated Press. SHELBY, N. C., August 26.—Gov. O. Max Gardner of North Carolina yester- day termed State legislation compelling it of ootton as unsound without some binging agreement with foreign growers and called upon Presi- dent Hoover to convene an immediate session of Congress to consider the cot- ton crisis. Gov. Gardner called the cotton situa- tion a “national affair and not merely s sectional and State matter.” North Carolina, he said, could b2 relied -upon to support any “intelligent and effectual International Commodity. “Cotton is not merely a sectional crop confined to the South, but is a na- tional and international commodity. It is grown in America and in at least 12 foreign countries. Last year the United States produced 13,753,000 bales and forelgn countries produced 11,724,000 bales. Shall the South grow no cot- ton in 1932, and the foreign countries u.,g a harvest? “It is my judgment that before any Governor calis a special session of the ture, and as a condition prece- dent thereto, the President should call Congress into immediate session and lay before the States and foreign govern- ments that grow cotton the absolute mecessity for unified action and con- “Nothing is more unsound than State Jegislation compelling abandonment of cotton growing in the South without some binding agreement with forelgn growers. The several States can make no treaty without foreign growers. That s solely the function of the Federal Government.

Isolation of caleiferol, a substance tely twice as potent in the | prevention of rickets as anything hith- erto known to science, has been report- ed to the British Royal Society from the National Institute of Medical Re- search. i 1t is a crystalline substance obtained by vacuum distillation of products of the frradiation of ergosterol. This uet to be physically quite erent from vitamin D, normally present in irrndiated crgosterol and which is credited with giving that sub- stance its high anti-rachitic qualities. Some evidence was found that this mew substance may not be present mormally, but that it is produced by | the action of heat on ergosterol. An- other view is ihat the long-wave irra- diation of ergosterol may produce two | eompounds, of which this is one in al- | most pure form.

NG ADDRESSES MEETING AT NEW CHINA WHEAT DEAL FORESEEN BY M’NARY Most Important Duty of Farm Board at Present, Says Senator, Is to Get Rid of Surplus. By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Oreg., August 26.—Sen- ator Charles L. McNary, chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, said today he believed negotiations for the sale of 15,000,000 to 25,000.000 buskels of wheat to China probably would be successful. McNary declared it to We the most important duty of the Federal Farm Board at present to get rid of the surplus of wheat, the weight of which is pressing down the price of new wheat. In the proposed sale to China, Mc- Nary saw more than elimination of a price depressant. “It will have an important effect in helping to supplant rice with wheat in the diet of the Chinese,” he said. | “I believe the same might be accom- plished in India. Thus it would benefit the farmer in the future, creating a new market.” Nominated for Congress. SAVANNAH, Ga., August 26 (P).— Homer C.
