Enthusia.m Among the Farmers

q have spent several weeks in Texas this winter and I am familiar with farming conditions in the south gen erally," said Newton H. Connolly of St.
 Paul, Minn., ''and l find as much enthusiasm among the farmers of Ala
 bama as there is in any part of the south. if not more.
 q made my first trip south about five years ago. was struck then with
 the lack of progress in most of the rural localities, but today the situ- ation is greatly improved. I find the farmers have been getting ahead fast have taken to inte0sive agriculture, and are greatly encouraged over the re- suits of last year in corn production. find among the farmers of Texas and of Alabama a genuine enthusiasm. This certainly means much for the future development of this great section. It means a back -to-the-farm movement and such a movement will be hailed with delight by our best economists Tiff not by the public at large"

Enhancement of Farm yalucs


 'The peach trees in the Tennessee val day or two ago. said J. K Powers of Florence. "The continued warm weather has brought forward the orchards and vegetation in general to such an extent that the freezes and frosts we are almost sure to have later on will cause serious damage. Alabama is great peach state, and our peach orchards are coming to be of great commercial value. If peaches pay in Georgia they will pay in this state practically as well, but everybody knows that there can be no such thing as lus- cicus peaches anywhere unless the sea- son has been something like ideal.
 Alabama is growing more prosperous every year, and intensive farmisg is going to make this state immensely rich. Farm land values have been steadily in- creasing all over the United States in the past few years, and in northern Ala bama today many conservative men are putting their surplus money into farms purely from an investment point of view. It is generally believed that for specu- lative investment few things are safer or more promising than a good farm bought for reasonable price today with view of selling it four or five years hence. that future farm values in Alabama will be on a considerably higher level than they are now.

DEFENDS THE H0USEFLY.
Expert Says II Warns That General
CLEANING Up Is Needed.

The housefy is of extreme value as
a danger signal to indicate the pres
ence of insanitary conditions. and IL
is these conditions, and not the fly it.
self, against which we must wage war,
according to DR.. e. Porter Felt, state
entomologist of New York.
The expert makes clear his position
on the fly question, saying:
Few people know much about the
fly controversy beyond the fact that
the housefly is a carrier Of the germs
of certain diseases, such as typhoid
fever, intestinal disorders and tuber-
culosis.
"The fly is mans good friend and
a necessity, so long as man tolerates
filthy or insanitary conditions. When
man as an animal becomes a clean pig
the flies will naturally disappear.
II do not see much logic in the cry
swat the deadly fly.' The cry should
be swat the insanitary conditions that
breed fies.' When man neglects to be
clean, nature provides scavengers in
the shape of flies to consume the dirt,
the refuse and the disease growing
matter.
II believe that If the housefiy were
exterminated 1t would tend to upset
the balance Of nature and result in
some other plague that might be a
thousand times worse than the flies
could ever be.
Similar things have happened be-
fore. The decimation of the coyotes
resulted in plague of gophers The
English sparrow was imported to de-
stroy the measuring worm, and now
people are wondering how to kill off
the sparrow, which has increased SO
alarmingly as to become a pest.
I'm the event of the disappearance
Of the househy there is the possibility
that the stable fly might become domi-
nant and inflict more serious annoy
ance upon mankind and be vastly
more efficient as a carrier of disease"

RELIEF FOR A
BOY MURDERER
No Pardon, Only More Freedom,
For Jesse POmerOy.
THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS IN CELL

Case Remarkable In Criminal History.
When Fourteen Years Old He Killed
Boy and a Girl-His Youth Saved
Him From the Death Penalty-Wom-
en- Urged Executive clemenoy.
Jesse H. Pomeroy, known for al
most four decades as ''the boy muir
derer" and held by an earlier genera
ton to be the most desperate criminal
abnormality Of the age, is soon to
leave his cell for greater freedom in
the state prison at Charlestown, Mass,
after having spent thirty-seven years
in solitary confinement.
Governor Foss, impressed by evil
dences submitted to him from many
sources of the great change in Pome-
roy's character, has decided to allow
the life convict to enjoy many Of the
liberties granted well behaved pris-
oners.
Pomeroy full pardon, and it is gen
orally believed no other governor ever
will take such action, but to give the
man who has inspired dread in the
hearts Of even his keepers ever since
the day when as fourteen-year-ol
boy he was thrust into punishment"
cell in the Charlestown prison any por-
tion Of the freedom enjoyed by tracta-
BILE convicts is considered evidence Of
a Transformation in the criminals
makeup.
Governor Foss' determination to do
what many of his predecessors have
refused to do in the face of prayerful
petitions signed by women in all parts
Of the country is set forth in a letter
he has sent to John Ernest Warren,
librarian of the American Dramatists'
club of New York Warren, who was
a playmate of Pomeroy, recently made
an eloquent plea in behalf of his life
reply made known that Warren's pre-
sentiment Of the facts had much to do
with his reaching his decision.
But Pomeroy's greatest champion has
been his mother, now a sad faced,
white haired woman nearing her seven
tieth year. Although denied even the
right to see her son and having to
accept the truth of the fact that he
was regarded all over the civilized
world as the most atrocious example
of wanton murderer, his mother new
er faltered in her faith in his innate
goodness nor forsook for a moment her
plan to gain for him his freedom. At
each holiday season, on Thanksgiving
and Christmas, as well as on his own
birthday, she has gone to the prison
with a big basket of good things to
eat, and it is she also who has kept
him supplied with current magazines
and books.
Pomeroy killed two children, boy
and a girl, after treating them with
barbaric cruelty. He inveigled other
children into isolated sections, stripped
them of their clothing, tied them to
trees or upon boards and then beat
them until they were unconscious. He
delighted in sticking pins into their
unconscious forms and cut them deep
ly with a knife. When this juvenile
monster, then fourteen years old, was
finally run down and captured he bare
ly escaped lynching. His youth alone
saved him from the death penalty.
