The lands in the W est, said MT. Henderson, are now being set tied and 1t was necessity which drove the cattle and sheep raisers to seek new fields. South Alabama, which, in the past has only been noted for Its adaptability to the pine tree culture, now bids fair to become garden spot in fact because of the knowledge that these lanos can be util- ized in the production of food stun, such as wiu conduce the rearing of cattle and sheep.
