SCIENTIFIC FARMER
WILL BE SUCCESSFUL

Admission, June 5.-That the destrrc-
ton of weeds in the cultivation OF
crops long considered by all farmers
as the chief essential in successful
farming, is merely a secondary consid-
Grafton, and that the outstanding o!
the moisture in the soil should be the
prime object. is the opinion of Prof.
L. N. Duncan of the agricultural depart
ment of the Alabama Polytechnic in
stitute and an attache of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington.
Professor Duncan came to Admission
to make an address Saturday afternoon
before the Calho County Farm Boys
club, at the solicitation of ]. Roland
Turner agent for the cooperative and
demonstration work of DR.. S. A. Knapp
in this city who also delivered an adj
dress at this meeting of the club.
Professor Duncan stated without hes
itation that the college farmer has ar
rived, and no longer. he says. is the
man who possesses scientific knowledge
of agricultural meth DDS denoted as u
book farmer" In every section of the
south, he says, scientific agriculture Is
being encouraged, and he said that the
experiments that are now being mada
with corn through the organization OF
boys clubs In every section of the coun-
try is but a preparatory measure for
greater development in connection with
other crops

PAVING FINISHED
AT ALICEYILLE

Alicevflle, June ESPECIAL 1.-The work
of the street paving was finished yester-
day and the city now has 10000 feet of
concrete sidewalks with six crossings.
This has been under construction for the
last few days. and the city is now con-
templating the installment of the water
works and the electric light system.
Messrs. Maxwell and McGehee Of Tusca-
loosa are the contractors and promoters
of the work At a recent mass meeting
the aldermen and three representative cit
liens who composed committee on the
question reported the matter favorably.
Their recommendation was to the effect
that the town grant the water works COM
pany a 10-year franchise and agree to
subscribe for the city's use certain
number of arc lights and fire plugs. The
funds for this are to be raised by special
privilege taxes which is the only special
privilege tax required Of the merchants
and other businesses by the town at pres
enc.
The representatives of the town an
promoters are to meet again In the near
future and sign up the necessary papers.
This, however, will have to be author
lied by the city council, but since the
council was on the committee which made
these recommendations 1t is believed that
they will order the tax levied and the
systems installed.
A baby show was held by the ladies of
Presbyterian church for the benefit of the
church, in which little Miss Mary Ellis
Proctor received the prize for the prettiest
baby girl and Master Newton Gardner
Fitzpatrick for the finest boy. Much in
terest was taken in the contest as there
were 90 babies registered. A box supper
was given that night and neat sum
realized.
MessYs. Cunningham. Heard and Calm
OF Meridian were here yesterday to attend
a stockholders meeting of the Allcevill0
OH and Manufacturing company. The
proceedings of the meeting have not been
obtained.

that some settlement be agreed upon that
will bring the company and its former
employees back together In harmony.

ed equally every man. woman and child

ago. Compared with year ago, there
was on June 1 $14oOo,0oo more money In
circulation. and yet, strange as 1t may
seem, the per capita was a cents less
