AGRICULTURE IN
 THE CANAL ZONE
Report Is Made on the Haphazard Methods Employed By
 the Natives

Washington, November 27.-(Speciall Agricultural possibilities of the canal zone" is an interesting report soon to be published by Secretary Wilson. In order that the value of agriculture along the zone might be determined and how agricultural conditions could be improved, Secretary Wilson ordered IT. H. Bennett of the bureau of soils, and William A. Taylor of the bureau of plant industry to visit Panama and examine it's agricultural conditions.
 Agricultural operations in the canal zone," states the report, "are confined mainly to the meager efforts of the native and West Indian population and are restricted to patch farming. The production of the local staple products, principally tropical vegetables and fruits, rice an6 corn, is little in ex- cess of the actual food requirements of the operators. The greater pro- portion of these farms, although oc- cupying the smoother slopes of the larger valleys and never aore than five miles in a direct line from the canal, are isolated and inaccessible, owing to .he broken topography ana the absence of good highways They are reached only by narrow, winding trails, at no time passable for vehicles and of en well nigh or quite impossible for horses. Few streams have been bridGed outside the immediate vicinity of the canal and such little effort has been made to keep open the trails tha.

a rider is forced to dismount fra- quertly ill order to pass under the low oVerhar ging growth or to lead ms horse across streams with dinicuit banks. During the wet season travel on foot is nearly as rapid and often more comfortable over the trails or the steep hill country where the path like 'camnos' climb and descend steep. rocky slopes, cross streams flow ing through narrow, gorgelike valleyS, and wind along the gentler, though ire quently boggy slopes. Natives mako surprisingly rapid progress over these difficult trails, either afoot or horse back. Travel through the dense tropi- cal growth is impossible except by way of recently cleared openings
 "Vegeta5le gardening is carried on quite successfully al various points along the line of the canal by Chinese, wEo employ the most efficient cultural methods at present practiced to any considerable extent. The products or tEese gardens are sold in considerable quantity at the market places of all thr important towns of the canal zone. Americans obiect to the insanitary meth ods of fertilization and handling and seldom use Chinese grown vegetables.
 cultural methods followeds by the natives are most primitive. Flowing is never attempted; in fact, the only plowed field seen outside the commits sion experimental gardens was that of an American. The cachete and sharp ened stick comprise the farm equipment of the native canal zone farmer. West Indians have in some places taRep up small farms hear the settlements 1'nfi the Panama canal and are gra a- about the same crops as are pre- by the natives.

FLAG CHRISTENING
 A BEAUTIFUL EVENT

J The world social moves on despite the weather in Birmingham. This has been proven on several recent occasions, and no better proof could have been given than yesterday afternoon at the ceremonies attendant upon the flag raising at the Country club. There were many reasons why one might have staid away, the most cheerless of chill damp afternoons, the fact that Monday is rather taboo for the performance of social offices, having been relegated to church society meetings, shopping and such necessary but certain ly not exhliratng things; and lastly the fact that the club rather than an indi- viGual had assumed the role of host, and no one persons delinquency could cause especial discomfort. All these things were against the flag raising, but the fact that the club as an Institution is intensely popular caused other draw backs to be ignored and representative so- ciety to attend in astonishing numbers. One could but wonder how great throng might have gathered had the weather been suspicious.
 The flag raising and tea were thorough ly delightful No private affair this win none has been more thoroughly enjoyed. large number of gentlemen laid aside business and spent the closing hours of the afternoon enjoying the freedom, the delightful camarderie and the lovely sur roundings which have always made the club the favored meeting place of so- cety. At o'clock the new emblem was hoisted on the lawn in front of the club house. tThe pole, tall enough to be seen from a great distance, was first deco rated with the Stars and Stripes. Att tached to cord by which it was run up was a parcel. the contents of which were niystifying to the throng gathered on the club piazza. As the parcel ap- preached the top of the pole 1t exploded, and as red, white and blue ribbons and stars were released to fall in shower of patriotic color, the great flag bearing the club insignia unfurled and foated in the wind, lengthening, stretching and cur

KubeIik's Masterful Violin RcnditiOns
 Delightful to Hear

J<ubelilx's genius has been epoch making in the history of violin playing, his whole style of performance being strikingy orig inal But novel as are his feats of vr- tuosity, his immense hold upon his au- diences is chiefly due to his impressive in- dividuality and the passionate warmth of his playing. And every one who has ever heard him play, every lover of music, will be interested to know that the fla nous Bohemian violinist has entered into an exclusive agreement to make records for the Victor.
 The first of the Kubelik records have just been issued with the December list of new Victor Records, and three num- bers, "Pierrot's Serenade," "Zapateado' and "Perpetuum mobile'' exhibit well his firm, pure and beautiful tone, his admir- able technique and the amazing ease and freedom of his playing. It is indeed for tunate for present-day music lovers and for posterity that satisfactory reproduce tions of the art of this young virtuoso have at last been made.
 The Victor Red Seal offerings also in clude fine interpretation by that favorite contralto, Jeanne Gerville-Reache of Schumann's "Ich grolle nicht," which many critics consider the composers $ noblest song. John Mccormack sings "Macushla," delightful little Irish ballad of the type which he sings better perhaps than any tenor now before the public. An amusing air. "Nord- Express" from a popular German operetta, is sung by All bert Ress, and with Otto Goritz this ar tist gives a splendid rendition of fa- nous scene from Segfried. A charming old English ballad, My Pretty Jane, is beautifully sung by Evan Williams, and there are other fine renditions by Aims Gluck, Janet Spencer, Emilio de Gogorza and Herbert Witherspoon.
 The other contributors this month are Robert Hiliard, who gives dramatic record of scenes from his greatest sue cess, "A Fool There Was" Agnes Kim ball, q dramatic soprano of unusual abil- ity; Lucy Marsh, the Victor Light Opera company; Reed Miller. and the Trinity choir. which sings two Christmas nun Lers.

PROSPECT OF Big CROP
PUTS The PRICE down
Americas Has 10000 Bales
Over Date 1910

Americas warehouses are ten thous-
and bales ahead of receipts at this date
last season, fact which would indi-
cate a big cropop, locally, this year,
despite reports of a contrary nature
as to crop shortage. These may pc
true in a measure, but in the aggregate
the goods are in evidence.
Already several farmers have mar
keted as many bales to this date as
they made last season. and are not yet
through picking cottou in their fields
=. Up to the Goth the local warehouses
here had received 5000 bales, against
400 bales the same cate last year. Oh
course, the fact that the present croT
is several weeks earlier than last years
may explain this great disparity il
receipts.
The ginning plants report an excess
of receipts over last year at this date
and are operating on full time in or.
der to meet the demands upon them
1t is such that the great bulk of the
crop will be gathered in one genera
picking, as there is comparatively lit
tie cotton to open at later date.
Excessive receipts have tended Z
