that of committee rooms. There should

It is. that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be it's
grief to discover. in the height Of its

spares the suffering; she is a veritable

those who seek her aid. In the years

success of the Williamson plan of
growing corn. Il that plan gains
a firm foothold in the results of next
fall. it is not a bit wild to antici-
pate a severing of the relations that
have existed since the war between
the cotton fields of Alabama and the
corn fields of the northwest. Hosea
Pearson writes from Shelby county:
Unusual interest is manifested by the
farmers in the preparation of land to
be planted to corn. At least 80 per
cent of the Shelby county farmers will
experiment this year with the Will
hanson method" S. P. Rainer of
Bullock says: Our farmers are TAX
ing more interest in preparing their
lands for corn than I have known
them to do in years. Two-thirds are
planting from one to ten acres on
the Williamson plan" These reports
show how general the movement is.
and also how hopeful 1t is.

said a man from one Of the smaller mu-

THE use of a road machine with the
high buggy wheel is the practical solu-
ton of the present needs over good, bad
and Indifferent roads, across streams.
This type of automobile, costing from $500
to 500, has already been in use here. A
friend of mine has used such machine
for few months, and has Travelled
throughout all parts Of Jefferson county
on business, and has covered over $500
miles without a cent of cost for repairs.
Now, 10 machines costing In the aggre-
gate $4,000 would save the feed and loss
in the use of 80 horses about $1,000 per
annum, for be 1t known that the loss by
injury and death of horses will very
nearly average this sum annually, not to
mention the feeding. The item of time

Director Seymour, Of the bureau or

fishes reports on corn planting re-

an increase in corn acreage, extend
ing in some counties to 30 per cent.
And many farmers in the reporting
counties have adopted the William
son method with its deeper ploughing
and it's fertilizing Of the growing
plant.
These reports lead one to imagine
that Alabama may, the weather per-
hitting, grow this year her own corn

Period Of Recovery

The increased consumption of all
steel products, rails alone excepted,
is widely and safely sregarded as a
sign of recuperation, even beyond the
reports of bank clearings, railroad
of which are OF a favorable nature.
Even copper shares are advancing.
There is a quickening of activity in
nearly all mining and industrial af-
fairs, and as soon as the railroads
see that they will have big crops to
move no doubt orders for rails Will
also come in. The size of the years
crops can be pretty clearly foreseen
in about two months, and perhaps by
that time the steel corporation will
be- glad to reopen it's Ensley plant
Iron has long been considered a
barometer of general business, and the
demand for foundry iron is improv-
ing and is today keeping the furnaces
busy. The improving markets of iron,
fabricated steel and copper are Great
ing in all other industries and in all
branches of business a cheerful and
confident feeling. All begin to feel
that the period of recovery has actual
ly been begun and that it will go on
until normality is attained to.
Building operations throughout the
country continue to be conducted on
an almost unprecedented scale. Aside
from winter wheat there is no pres
ent reason for expecting other than
large harvests. The government re-
port as to winter wheat is not con.
elusive, for favorable weather and an
increase acreage in spring wheat
may make good any loss that may oc
cur in winter wheat. All In all the
prospect today is more encouraging
than it has been at any time since
the occurrence of the October panic.
