 abilities of the County.
TESTS ARE SUCCESSFUL

Washington. January 29.-(Special.)- Representative Underwood received mo- tice from the secretary of agriculture this morning that the department, upon his request, had authorized soil survey for Blount county, Alabama
 On October l the secretary will assign soil survey party to the county and the conditions of the soil and what 1t will produce will be carefully examined Rep resentative Underwood said this morning that the information gathered by the department officials through their survey will result in giving valuable informa- ton to fruit growers and give the county prominent place among the fruit grow ing counties
 The survey party will give particular attention to the question of fruit as from some of the desirable fruit soils that have been encountered in similarly situated areas in adjoining states.
 Just Returned From Texas.
 T have just returned from Texas, in- specting the tobacco that is being fer St chief of the soil bureau. department of agriculture. to Representative Underwood today.
 Il am very much pleased with the crop that we raised in Alabama last year. The appearance of the leaf was very fine and the aroma we have been seeking is pres ent I think the department will be fully
 
 is similar in all respects to the soil we picked out in Texas as approaching the best Cuban soil, for this Alabama leaf is Identical in appearance and quality, in cluding the aroma, with the Texas leaf.
 ''The crops are now being assorted for baling, but as they are Just being taken out of the bulk, they are still somewhat raw and harsh and need some time to mellow and age. We propose to let the crop lie in bales for four or five months before submitting it to the cigar dealers and manufacturers so that it will be some time yet before the department can issue any definite statement as to the re- suits of the experiments.
 Results Are Promising.
 
 promising that we shall send party back to Alabama to raise another crop so that we can learn all that is possible about the conditions there and the meth ods that will have to be adopted to make a uniformly good crop.
 'In the meantime, and before we are able to make a definite statement as to the results of our last crop, 1 think it would be undesirable for the public to plant crops of tobacco, for our experience shows us very clearly that the tobacco of good quality will have to be confined to two soils which we have indicated on the Perry county map as Orangeburg clay and the Orangeburg sandy loam, and the methods should be fully known and described by us think, therefore that it would be well for us to have another year at this work before any general planting is begun"
