Montgomery, Ala. Nov. 2O.-The report
az the Alabama Demurrage and Storage
Association. formerly the Alabama Car
Service Association, for the month Of
October shows that 70.03S cars were
handled by the railroads belonging TO the
association. an increase OF S552 cars as
compared to the number Of cars handled
the month previous, and 3.7O2 cars as
compared to the. number Of cars in Oc-

The number Of ears handled last month
is the greatest number Of cars handled
by this association since April, 1907. be-
fore the depression set in, the number
during April. 1907, being 71,21.
Railroad traffic is a barometer as to
the improving conditions throughout the
country, and the fact that the number
Of cars handled has gotten back TO the
number of cars handled before the de-

From the Southern Field.
The hen. some one says, ought 10 be
established as our national bird. She is
certainly the bird which contributes most
70 the welfare and enjoyment of our peo-
Pile, and as a wealth producer to the farm
ers OF the country she is as fine an asset
as they possess The figures show-well'
no matter what they show: the estimated
value Of the annual production OF poultry
and eggs in the United States is simply
stupendous. 1t would build a double track
railroad from the Atlantic TO the Pacific.
Every portion Of the country contributes
something 10 the vast aggregate. No
portion is so admirably adapted to profit
able poultry raising as the South. and no
other region should lead it in the sum to-
tai OF the product OF the poultry farms
and poultry yards. Wherever attention
has been given 20 the development Of the
poultry business in the southern States II
has had pronounced success.
VIII Pay on Any Farm.
The opportunity lies in man. communi-
ties for the establishment of poultry farms
end for paying the closest attention 10 the
chicken as a side issue on all the farms.
The South itself is the best market for
poultry. Its great consuming centers are
all too poorly supplied. Some Southern
poultry and eggs now find market in
the North. but the amount is not large
enough 20 Offset the shipments which
steadily go from Northern States TO
Southern States
There is a demand I'm the North, espe-
cially IN the winter months. which would
take largely increased shipments from the
south. The market OF the West Indies
and of Mexico makes a steady demand
upon the ports Of Mobile, New orleans,
and others which must be supplied m
great part from the Northern States. This
is not because the South is not the best
poultry raising section. but because the
Industry has not been developed as Il
should
Rhode Island may have the honor of
supplying the White House table each
Thanksgiving with an especially grown
turkey, but the finest turkeys which reach
the Washington market are from Virginia
and Tennessee; and the C&rolinas. Ala

produce just as fine turkeys and the finest

in part many Northern markets with their

Success in Alabama.
Just outside Mobile, Ala, Mr.. r. l..
Mcbride. a merchant In the city, has a

900 grown chickens. which he keeps for
their eggs alone. For the past five years
