experiment station, and the pigs were all purchased from farmers who live within few miles of the station. The animals were no better In quality than the aver age hogs of the state, but practically all of them carried some improved blood, consisting of Poland China, Berkshire and Duroc Jersey crossings.
 The condition of the hog raising indus try in Alabama was set forth in a pre- face to the bulletin, follows:
 ''The people of Alabama are large meat consumers, but small meat producers. It Is well known that large proportion of the meat used in this state is shipped in from other states. It should be known, also, that this imported meat comes from states which do not have as many natur al advantages for pork production as has our own state. So far, the farmers of the state have failed to take advantage of their own favorable circumstances. The most of the imported meat comes to us from northern states-states that do not have the advantage of long grazing sea sons, mild climate and cheap shelter. On account of the long grazing season, the mild climate and the cheap shelter, this state can make pork as cheaply, and no doubt more cheaply, than it can be made in the north.

.ALDR|CH'S FINANCIAL IDEA.
Great Association of National Banks
TO Control the Currency of the
Entire Country

Washington, D. G, Jan. 8-Senator
-Aldrich's plan for currency reform be
came publicly known for the first time
esterday, when IL was laid before the
National Monetary Commission. It pro-
poses a great association of national
banks TO be called the Reserve ASSo-
citation Of America, and which will be
the fiscal agent Of the government,
hold it's deposits, make it's diSburse-
ments, buy and sell bills of exchange,
discount commercial paper and issue
circulating notes. 1t could not be call
ed central bank Of issue. the senator
declares, and he says there are well
founded objections to such an insti-
tuition
The capital of the reserve associa-
tion would be 100000 900 and would
be held by national banks, which
would become members in amounts
proportionate to their capitalization.
1t would receive deposits of such
banks and rediscount their commercial
paper when safeguarded by certain
securities.
The United States would be divided
into fifteen financial districts and in
each would be located a branch of the
reserve association. Such branches
would be composed of local associa-
/ tions of national banks; not less than
ten banks would compose each associa-
| tion. The banks would elect directors
! of each association, directors of local
associations would elect directors in
| branches and directors in branches
would elect directors to the board of
the central organization, which would
have headquarters in Washington.
y governor over all would be ap-
/ u
States and be removable for cause.
| There would be forty five directors. On
! the boards of the branches and the
! central organization there would be
certain numbers of men not bankers,
representing Industrial. commercial,
| agricultural and other interests of the
| country.
