when the perspiration had begun to flow
he signaled the house, and forth came a
tair maid with bucket of barley water,
just as it happens in the old stories of
the harvest field. Each man was allowed
big drink of the soothing and strengthen
ing beverage and told to hustle along and
finish as soon as might be, before the
threatening rain came.
Mr.. Wright saw to 1t that every stray
wisp of the precious forage was carefully
gathered, and then gave another high sign
to the house. At once a horn blew, and
recalled fond Slemories of the old days on
the farm to every cleaner IN the field.
After cleaning up. having carefully put
their forks away, the men were given a
farm dinner that rejuvenated their long
abused stomachs, and then were permitted
to smoke and tell their prize stories of
early stunts on other agricultural fields.
At the proper time they thanked Mr.
Wright profusely and with fine courtesy
then went home and doctored their Bills
tiers and began to plan ways and means
of reciprocatng. But Mr.. Wright is watch
ing them very carefully.

GROWS ENTHUSIASTIC

Montgomery. February 2S-(Special l. ter how optimistic it is, relative to the agricultural prospects in Alabama that will over-top the mark The state is just now getting in a position to show the world what it can accomplish in a farming way"
 AS an evidence of this, Commissioner of Agriculture Reuben F. Kolb, who made the statement, points out some of the constructive legislation that has all legislature. He thinks that every agri- cultural requirement meted out by the 1911 solons will go a long way toward putting the farm products on their high est plane, and toward upbuilding the re- sources of the state in every way.
 The appropriations recently made by the legislature are looked upon as indica. tive of the states determination to lend every protection possible to the agricul- tural interests. In all S52,000 have al- ready been appropriated; another $25,0O0 is expected to be allowed and numerous bills have been passed which look to the elevation of the farm movement.
 Of the appropriation which has so far been allowed $25.0o0 will be devoted to farm experiment work at Auburn and $27.G00 to farm demonstration work. The $25,OQ0 yet expected Is to be devoted to upbuilding the various state and county fairs. Each expenditure is a dove-tail in the other. thus furnishing a complete scheme that will boost agriculture in every section of the state. On tomorrow ~ the state board of agriculture will hold another meeting for the purpose of ap- pointing farm demonstration agents in the counties not now provided with such officials. It is the purpose of the board to have agents in every county of the commonwealth.
 Work of soil survey in connection with the government Is fast progressing, witl the result that more than half of the counties are already provided with sur veys. Commissioner of Immigration Lee Cowart, moreover, is working with the end in view of bringing 100000 immi- grants to the state within the next four years. an influx of citizens that Will greatly boost agricultural prospects.

MORGAN WILL HAVE LIQUOR ELECTION Walden Thinks That Will
 Be Next Move FAVORS DISPENSARY Wilhite Has Bill to Increase Pay of County Commissioners Which Is Opposed By Represent
 tive Walden

Decatur, February 2S.-(Special)-It will be either saloons or dispensares for Morgan county. according to the way or thinking of Capt. Dan Walden of New Decatur, one of the representatives to the state legislature, who is spending a few days at home with his family. Cap tain Walden made this statement in dis cussng the Parks local option bill:
 AS soon as the regulation bill is passed the Fuller law is repealed and there will then be no state law forbidding the sale of liquors in the Decaturs and in Nor gan county, hence local option election will be necessary" said Captain Walden
 Captain Walden further said that un- der the local option bill the voter would have the chance of voting either open saloon, dispensary or prohibition. But according to his opinion, the prohibition feature is worse than a farce; that the Parks bill gives thes saloon advocate the advantage, because there would be no law to enforce prohibition in the event the prohibitionists won the election. Con tinuing, Captain Walden said: The pro hibitionists will be compelled to take their choice between open saloons and dispensaries. In my mind the dspensary is preferable. It limits the sale, reduces the incentive to solicit trade, and gives the county, state and city the revenue that would go to the saloonkeeper. The regulation bill includes the Moody dis pensary measure, and is very strict. For instance, no whisky less than yeas old can be sold It must also be in spected and come up to the pure food reg ulations. In my opinion whisky of this kind can't be sold for 10 cents a drink. If we vote back saloons they are here for four years to come" Captain Wal den has been prohibitionist for good many years and is himself a teetotaler. He will return to Montgomery tomor- row.
