 We cannot grow alfalfa in Butler county without special preparation of the land, but we have an abundance of native grasses and 1t is my opinion that Butler county can be made one of the banner cattle counties of the state," said MT. Long.
 There is no reason why Alabama should not raise as fine cattle as any state in the union and just as cheaply.' rhe growing of food stuffs is the great est problem, and that should be an easy one in Alabama with our great variety of soils and agricultural possibilities." E |

Work on Coosa Progresses


 Work on the improvement of the Coosa river so as to make it navigable the year round is progressing rapidly, according to information received in this city. ano M Lankford, who is now in charge of force of workmen who are making the final borings at Blacks bluff, Is quoted as saying that work will begin on the dam at Horseleg shoals within three months.
 Within about two weeks MT. Lankford and his 21 assistants will move down the river to Eight Mile Rock, thence to Livingston, where they will continue their investigations These borings are for the purpose of ascertaining the depth neces- sary to go before a good bottom can be obtained the object being to extract cores and send them to Washington, where they are analysed.
 The question at issue seems to be whether to locate the dam at Livingston or Horseleg shoals. It Is said that if the dam is built at Livingston it will cost about $900000 more than If built at Blacks bluff, owing to the increased amount Of land to be flooded and the height of the dam. Livingston Is about J2 miles from Rome, and if the dam IS built there it will be about 15 feet high, while 1t will be only 12 feet high if built at Horseleg The people of Rome are said to prefer the Livingston site. however, because of the long stretch of slack water and the fact that the building of the dam there would relieve another swift place on the river between Livingston and Horseleg.
