SOIL SURVEY OF
 CHAMBERS COUNTY
Advance Report Now in hands of Senators and Representatives,
 for Distribution

Washington, August IO.-(Special. 1.-The advance sheets of the official soil survey of Chambers county, Alabama, have just been issued by the United States agricu- sural department. The survey was made by Howard c. Smith of the federal de- partment and D. H. Avary of the state department of agriculture of Alabama
 The advance report is now in the hands of the state senators and Congressman Hefin for distribution.
 The summary of the report is as fol- lows:
 .'Chambers county lies in the eastern part of Alabayha, along the Georgia line. It lies in the extreme southern portion of thelPiedment plateau and has a range in elevation from 800 to SS5 feet, with an average probably between 700 and 75o feet above sea level. The topography varies From rolling to very hilly.
 Drainage is. afforded by the Tallapoosa and Chattaheochee rivers, the latter a na,igable stream. The drainage of the county on the whole is very good.
 .'Transpotraton facilities are excellent, no part of the county being more than 10 miles distant from a railroad. The
  though abundant road material is readily accessible
 "The climats1is exceptionally mild with rainfall ample and well distributed, and favorable to wide variety of staple and special farm crops A long growing sea- son of 233 days allows the harvesting of two or more crops on the same field in one season.
 ''The citizens are composed largely Of native whites and negroes. According to tine census of 1910 the county has a popu- 1ation of 36056. Labor is supplied chiefly by the colored race. Wages range from 60 cents to $1 day, or SIP to $15 month, with board.
 ''The county is well supplied with schools, and has rural free delivery and telephone service. One-fourth of the farms sare operated. by owners the ball ance by tenants. Land values are in creasing. : Cotton and corn are the chief prod Ncts, and the agriculture is based upon the one-crop system.
 'The soils range from sandy loams 10 very heavy clays. They are residual, derived from the underlying rocks of the Piedmont plateau, or alluva. represent ing degradation products of these rocks

LAWS WILL BE
 STRICTLY ENFORCED
Game Commissioner Wallace Issues Instructions to County
 Wardens

Montgomery, August 10.-(SpeciaD-State Game and Fish Commissioner John H. Wallace, Jr., has issued to the game and fish wardens of the various counties of Alabama instructions relative to enforc- ing the provisions of the game and fish laws. He impresses upon the wardens be tolerated and a strict watch should be held on all those who are likely to violate the bag limit.
 MT. Wallace states that reports re- ceiyed at his office indicate that there is more game in Alabama than has abound ed here in the last 25 years, and only by the vigorous and active enforcement Of the laws can the ground which has been gained be held.

reworked and deposited by the streams.
 "The residual soils, which occupy the uplands. comprise members of the Cecil and Durham series. The Cecil stony clay and Cecil clay loam are well adapted to the growing of cotton and corn and other general farm crops. They should be used for these crops under a proper system Of rotation.
 "The Cecil stony sandy loam, Cecil sandy loani, and Louisa slate loam are well adapted to peaches. early apples, pears, figs, and to scuppernong and other grapes suited to the climate There is the same need for rotation and diversifca- tion of crops as in case of the types al- ready mentioned.
 "The Durham coarse sandy loam Is eS- peeially adapted to peanuts and water melons and. other crops liking a light textured son. It can be used for certain staple crops by proper management.
 ''The aluvial soils are included in the Congaree series. They are of small eX- tent, but so widely distributed that nearly every farm contains enough to produce the home supply of corn, sugar cane, and vegetables. In many cases a profitable trucking industry could be built up or these soils.
 "The pasturing of hogs, goats and sheep would be highly profitable on the exten- sive areas of land which are at present nonagricultural.
 There Is general need for the introduc- tion of systematic crop rotations and the diversification of farm products in order to restore the soils to their original pro- ductiveness which has declined mainly through loss of organic matter. In this connection the importance of winter cover crops cannot be overestimated.
 ''The percentage of waste land occupied by scrubby undergrowth, meandering streams, and gullies is on the increase Active steps should be at once taken to protect the fields from eroson-the chief cause of the increase. At present at least one-siXth of the county can be classed as unproductive soil''

life. He delights to drop in at the Metro politan and play a game of chess This is his favorte indoor diversion. In for mer times he was a cribbage expert. but the constant recital of Fifteen two, "a run of three" and "one for his nobs, ' got on his nerves and he took to chess He flirted with whist but the game was too speedy for his deliberate way of passing life.
 The only fad of which MT. Underwood is accused is golf. He not only delights in swatting the littte roughened ball be- cause it was made. by the rubber trust, but because it makes him feel younger than he looks, which is going pretty far. He takes little interest in other out door sports. Automobile racing and such giddiness is not for him.
 MT Underwood is a frequent patron of the theatres. He has built up a reputa- tion for being a model husband by al- ways taking his wife. He keeps fairly well posted on stage affairs, knows the good plays and keeps track of the lead ing stars,

After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, VIC read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child face was as fine and clean as any little babys face.

MIR. UNDERWOOD IS NEWEST 4ARR|VAL" New York World Devotes
 Page to Him IS NATIONAL FIGURE Points Out That He Is Second Only to Wilson Among House Mem
 bers As Choice For
 President
lIS NATIONAL FIGURE

The New York World of last Sunday man Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama. The article occupies almost page and contains a number of interesting photo graps of the popular Birmingham citizen. The article reads as follows:
 A new statesman from the south has arrived. Oscar w. Underwood or Bir- mingham. Ala, has won national repu- tation in a few months, although he has been in the nations service as a member of the House of Representatives more than sixteen years, since March 4, 1895. Priding himself on party regularity, he has thrice supported William J. Bryan for the presidency and yet this last week in defense of the south and of his per sonal honor, he dealth the peerless leader" a blow which many observers be- lieve has deprived the Nebraskan of the power to make more thanba futile effort to regain the saddle
 What manner of man is this who has been so slow to receive general recogni- ton and then to have his party policy, party leadership and personal probity in- dorsed so enthusiastically by his asso- ciates in Congress and by their we'll wishers outside? If you would know. read what follows for 1t tells who the man is, what he is like, what are his characteristics
 When Oscar Underwood deftly opened the swinging doors for the entrance of William J. Bryan to the Ananias club he automatically reached the zenith of hts public career It was the capsheaf on a structure of less notable achievements. It brought him fame, gratitude and cheers. It denoted the arrival of MT. Underwood. He emerged from the class ification of commonplace legislators and became dominating leader of the demo- cratic party. More, he entered the list of those suggested as presidential possi- bilitis.
 For Is weary years MT. Underwood has been slowly climbing the shaky and uncertain ladder of popular re- nown. He plodded and worked and used his opportunities. He depended on study and the foundation of facts and figures rather than situations and cll- maxes. His rise was not like that of the rocket or the fountain. It was the slow, steady upward advance of the broad lake. fed by subterranean streams.

Denver, Oct. 9 l9ll:-Members
Of the state highway commission
have jsst returned from a trip ACROSS
Tie sssas. and while away mach time
was spsst in the inspection Of new
rnsses planned ON both the eastern
snA western slopes. According 10
saaosncements made by the CON-
nsssioa. plans have been made which
il 10 believed will insure the bsild-
iAG Of . good road from the stste
line west 10 Salt Lake City 10 con-
DeC4 with route across the state.
The rosds leading into Colorado from
tho east are in fair shape, and the
great thing nov 10 to have a good
rosd leading westward through Utah
The question was taken up with
people OF Grand junction and all
other polnte and also with Utah state
officials. The plans proposed call
for the commencement OF the work
in connection with sach a road i'm
mediately. and surveys will first be
made. When these are completed
active work Of construction will be
commenced, and there seems to be
little doubt but that by the time a
transcontinental road is built across
Colorado. Utah will have a good
road into Salt Lake City. This will
enable automobllists wishing to
make the trip across the country &c
pass through the Rocky Mountains
in Colorado, where some of the
grandest scenic points on trans
continental trip can be found.
Data is also being gathered by a
committee of the Colorado Good
Roads Conference Association re.
Sarding the proposed transcontinen-
tai roads across the state, and theil
report to the Pueblo convention in
January will probably be one Of the
most interesting TO come before thai
body.
