Already much good has been accomp-
lished In Alabama and still greater bene-
fits should follow.
Alabama is just entering new era of
agricultural activity. The northwest is
filling UP, and there is a decided move
ment of farmers to the south, 1t may be
expected that this movement to more
equabe climate with all the other adj
vantages offered in the south will be
even more active than the movement of
former years to the west and northwest.
The cheapness of the lands In the south.
together with their surprising productive
ness under expert tillage. will attract
in time the best class of immigration
from the great northwest and Canada.
The great variety of products that may
be raised on the soils of Alabama is one
important factor that will attract good
farmers when they are rightly informed
on the subject. The publication Of the
soil survey reports will be one of the
chief mediums through which our advan-
tages will be made known.
Beauty spots in Birmingham?

THAT REMINDS ME
Bilngsy Reads Paper Alabama Soil Survey Before
Horticultural Society-Great Possibility for the State
Workingman Asks Some Hard Questions
BY WALTER HARPER.

At the annual meeting of the Alabama
State Horticultural society, which closed
its sessions at Bessener yesterday, c. FL.
, Blilingsley. clerk in the Alabama de-
parhnent of agriculture. read a paper on
the work of soil survey in Alabama. The
paper gave some very interesting facts
ana suggestions along this important en-
terprise.
Since the spring of l9g7. when the Ala
barna legislature authorized the state de-
partment to cooperate with the United
States government in the survey of the
soils of Alabama. four parties of men
have been at work continuously in the
state Half the expense is paid by the
state and the other half by the federal
department
In this time Is counties have been COM
pleted and Ave other counties are being
surveyed. This, including 10 counties pre-
vicusiy surveyed by the government, will
make a total of 30 counties in the state
which will have been surveyed and
plated.
The soil survey is of inestimable value
to the farmer who desires to improve his
crop and increase his yields 1t enables
him to become familiar with his types OF
soils and he is thus able to determine the
best methods for their improvement and
care.
The soil survey is usually followed by
expert demonstration work, which is un-
der the direction of the state and federal
departments.
