THE soUTH's GREAT NEED, SAYS
 PROF. SOULE.
Improvement in Tennessee-How Millions are Being Lost in Alabama-Much Money
 to Be Made.

Knoxville Journal and Tribune
 Pro. A. M. Soule of the University of Tennessee returned yesterday afternoon from Birmingham, Ala, where he attend ed the meeting of the Live Stock Breed CTS Association, which was in session Monday and Tuesday of this week. Pro- fssor Soule had been invited to make an address on the subject of Beef Cattle in the South, and he spoke on this sub- ject Tuesday afternoon. r
 The association has heenzvery anxious for the Legislature of Ala bama to make an appropria tion for a department of animal husbandry at the University of Alabama, and they were anxious that members of the Legislature hear an ad- dress by Professor Soule on the subject. They want the department to be located at Auburn, and from the manner in which Professor Soule's address was received, 1t is probable that the appropriation will be made.
 The University of Tennessee experiment station is recognized as a leader in agri- culture and live stock industries in the South. The fact that no support has been received from the State and the work has been done on small funds attracts at tention.
 When seen. by a Journal andT ribune reported, Professor Soule said: ''rhe great need in the South is live stock. The lands are wor nout for agricultural purposes, and live stock will prove more profitable than agricultural pursuits in the main. As a result of the agitation which has been given this question in Tennessee, twenty-five pure bred sires have come into East Tennessee, also many fine dams The same is true in Middle and West Tennessee. It is resulting in attracting a great deal of attention in other sections. Tennessee has heretofore ranked low in stock breeding, but an improvement has come, The success noted is educating the people of Tennessee to deed the bi-pro- ducts of the cotton plan to stock

That estimate seems too optimistic
In Ohio the weather has been quite
