HON. !. A. WILKINSON PROPOSES
PICTURESQUE PLAN OF PROCEDURES.
Commissioner of Agriculture Suggests

An interesting feature OF the work

paign' which Hon. J. A. Wilkerson.
Commissioner of the Department, hopes
soon to commence. The beginning of
the work was done in January, shortly
after Mr.. Wilkinson assumed his duties.
and its contamination depends largely
upon what the railroad companies of
the State will be able to do to assist
the movement, their endeavors being
now limited by recent legislation to re-
strict them in affording free service of
any kind.
The plans of Mr. wilkinson embrace
what once was picturesque1y called the
putting of Alabama on wheels. 1t is
proposed that a train, upon which the
Commissioner and experts in various
departments of agriculture, may travel.
shall make a tour through the state and
give practical demonstrations. In this
work the Commissioner would have the
cooperation OF experts from the De-
partment of Agriculture in Washington.
Mr.. wilkinson said yesterday that no
definite news of the proposition could
now be published.
A permanent exhibit of the products
is planned by Mr.. j. A. Wilkinson,
Commissioner OF Agriculture and Indus
tries. The specimens for the exhibition
are already being collected and 1t is
hoped that a room In the Capitol can he
secured for the exhibition.
More than 200 specimens of the woods
of Alabama have already been received
and several vegetables have been pre-
servd In alcohol. Mr.. Wilkinson said
Yesterday that he though the exhibition
could be made most attractive and that
it would be advantageous to the inter-
ests OF the State.
