COMMISSIONER WILKINSON URGES
 "CORN BREEDERS'' TO ORGANIZE

Hon. J. A wilkinson. State commis- sioner of Agriculture. believes the farmers of Alabama have 1t within their power to double the amount of corn raised by them. This can be done. he thinks. without increasing the acreage or to any great amount the work done on the crop.
 The Commissioner devoted consider able thought to the problem, and be- lieves his statement can be realized by the corn producers of the State within the next tour or five yaars by the sim pie process of carefully growing and selecting the seed to be planted.
 "I do not know just the best means of arriving at this much -to- be- e-desired end" sad MT. Wilkinson yesterday. but I am rather inclined to the belief that the formation among the farmers of some sort of Corn Breeders Asso- ciation, similar in plan and organiza- tion to the cattle and hog breeders as- sociations and the horticultural socl- ety, would be found to be the best means of awakening tie interest of the farmers of the Sta.e in. the necessity tor larger crops from the corn lands

 There are farmers in Alabama who devote themselves to the cotton crop with every possible attention. and Sdo not let slip by d single opportunity. to improve the crop of that product who pay practically no attention to their corn Why, one man told me, not long ago, he had excellent ,orI It was the same kind that his father used to raise during the war, Now l maintain that with the same quality and vigor Of soil, that man could easily be raising today, had he selected his seed in the rigpt manner, quadruple the crop on ...e same ground his father did forty years ago"

IMPROVED MEMORY

The memory and other important functions of the brain are greatly in- fiuenced by the condition of the dlges- tive organs
 This may seem strange to persons who do not stop to realize that every new cell in the brain is made up from the food that Is taken into the stom- ach. because every thought wastes cells which have to be replaced by others.
 When the prope- food is used and fully digested, so there's no fermenta- tion and poisonous waste manufactured in the body. and the new cells are built in as fast as used up. the brain be- comes clear and memory Is sure to be improved

DON'T TOUCH EVIL
DOsTER SAYS ANTT-PAsS BILi.
 FALLS SHORT.
Vice-President of Alabama Press Asso- citation Declares Organization VIII Not Be Hurt if Measure
 Becomes Law.

Senator Howard Doster of Autauga County, who is Vice. President of the Alabama Press Association. yesterday gave out an interview in which he said the refusal of the Senate to permit the newspapers to sell their space for transportation, would not seriously af- feet the newspapers of Alabama or the Alabama Press Association.
 Senator Doster says further the 1 newspapers do not want free passes.
 He says, too. that should the courts | hold they can not accept mileage for transportation, no law can prevent from selling the space and using the money to purchase mileage.
 In full the statement of Senator Doster on the situation follows.
 The bill passed Monday. prohibiting the Issuance or acceptance of free passes excepts from It's operations all agents and attorneys-at-law of the railroads. Under this bill, as passed by the Senate, the railroads can ap- point as many local attorneys. adver- Using, industrial and immigration, etc. agents over Alabama as they see proper, ana issue to them free passes, and 1t will be impossible to secure the evidence they are not bona hde enl- ployes of the railroads.
 q contend that local attorneys and agents. who occasionally represent the railroads, and who derive very httle of their income from the rallroads,
 should not be permitted to ride on free passes. Knowing the position "f the Governor during the campaign on this question. of giving passes to rail- road attorneys and others who influence legislation. went to the Governor ana urged him to use his influence 10 m
 ciude all in the operation of the Dill who did not actually derive a lveli- hood from the railroads. This would reach the root of the evil Of free passes I had, previous to the conVen- ing of the Legislature, prepared blli to this effect, but did not introduce 1t, as understood one had been pre- pared which met the views Of the ad- noinistration. voted for the Lusk bill. because I felt it was a step in the right direction, and because l believed a half loaf was better than none at au' though I believe if the railroads choose to eo strictly by the letter of the bill and not it's spirit, 1t will not reach the root of the evil as was intended.
 .Tt will not seriously affect the newspapers or the Alabama Press As- sociatIon The newspapers do not de- sire free passes. Should the courts hold they cannot accept mileage Tor ndvertisiR. no law can prevent them from selling the space and using the money to purchase mileage It will be only question of little more book keeping. The people must know the railroad schedules. and the newspapers v,ilI continue to advertise for the rail roads. The Alabama Press Association naatIne will be held in the Capital Cttv this spring or summer. and will be largely attended It will continue to grow and prosper in the future

of course. be planted with the very beg. quality of seed.
 After the corn arrives almost at ma turity. the farmer passes through tht patch, and carefully observes the most promising stalks. Some may grow tct high, showing that particular plant z inclined to devote too much of its growth to the stalk. to the detriment of the ear. Other stalks may be dwarfed. All such should be de-taa- seled, the tassle being cut of with knife. before arriving at a stage where the pollen may mix with that from the more perfect specimens.
 When the ears have matured. the farmer can go through the patch again, carefully selecting the stalks which seem to have grown to the best adv&n- tage. and select the best ear from each, being careful not to take more than one ear from any one stalk. nor 10 take an ear from a stalk that does not grow at least two ears. All these ears can he carefully prepared and graded by the farmer at his graRary. Possibly he that will pass a critical examination. These perfect ears are laid aside Cor another trial the next year.
 Tn such manner as this" said Mfr. Wilkinson. ''it Is possible to secure corn that will bear at least two ears to ev- cry stalk within a very short time. and those familiar with the corn fields of the State know that general improve ment 10 even that standard would be great benefit to the farmers.
 T regard the raising of the standard of the corn fields as of just ae much importance as the raising of the atand- ard of hogs or cattle. The stoekmen do not consider any amount of trouble too great to obtain an improvement in the grade of tnelr livestock. and win cross and recross their breeds to get aa near perfection as possible. It Ia in that way that the standard of hogs has been raised from where, a few years ago, 1t was almost impossible to produce 6 porker that would weigh more than 150 pounds. to the present time when 1000 pound porkers are not uncommon.
 The process of corn breeding Is s-st the same in principle as that of stock breeding to raiEe the standard
