cludcd In these segregations. Many
valuable asphalt deposits have been
discovered ON allotted lands near
the city. one of the largest Of
these deposits Is owned by New York
and Philadelphia capitalists and W

Their company, known as the Buck

western part OF the county. great
iron boulders are numerous and stick
up high out OF the tall prairies

that these boulders were picked up
by an iceberg and carried south
In an ice flow In the glacial period
and these iron lands were not valu.
able enough to segregate as mineral
lands. They were classified as graz
ing and agricultural land. and as
such were allotted by the Indians.
But men who dispute the theory
of the government = agents and be-

boulder country are exceedingly valu-
able, induced the Indians to iile their
surplus In the boulder district. These
surpluses have been bought up by
individuals and companies Nho claim
there is more iron In this district
near sulphur than there Is In the
mountains around birmingham.
The soil. climate and altitude of
Murray county and OF that portion
OF other counties tributary to Sui
phur are ideally adapted To the grow
ing OF cron. cotton, wheat. oats. rye
and barley. All these crops yield
enormously. The greatest OF all the
forage and hay crops IL alfalfa. From
three to Ave cuttings are grown per
year. Alfalfa grows luxuriously upon
the highlands as well AS upon the
low lands. Blue grass and the clio
vers are being experimental with.
Tests are proving that climate. soil
and aititdue are ideal for the growing
OF these hay for forage plants. Fancy
bred horses, cattle. hogs and poultry
