Not if she is a real suffragette, because that means that she has a free and intelligent mind, not to be dominated by any one else.'
 Do you think that woman should have to remain the wife of husbandette when she finds she has one?"
 Tt is her own fault, or mistake, at least. if woman marries a husbandette. It proves there is some flaw in her judgment. l think the woman who finds hus- bandette on her hands should pick up bravely the social and philan- thropic and intellectual duties with , in her reach, and work and wait. Then if real husband comes along the mistake should be relegated to the divorce court" concluded Miss Sutton, firmly.

ID APPOINT FARM
 DEMONSTRATORS Agent Will Be Named To- morrow or Wednesday IS IMPORTANT WORK From 30 to 50 Demonstration Farms to Be Established in Jeffer-
 son-Supplement Fund
 Is Needed
IS IMPORTANT WORK
By WALTER HARPER

A local agent for farm demonstra- tion work in Jefferson county will be appointed tomorrow or Wednesday. The local agent will take up the work inn nediately.
 The importance of this service, es- pecially In Jefferson county, cannot be appreciated by the general public. The department officials of the federal gov ornment and their representatives in Alabama have delayed introducing the work in this county until a clear view of the needs and the amount and char acter of the work necessary could be had.
 The great and growing demand for foodstuffs for the Birmingham market calls for maximum of local produc- tion. The energy and thought of the Birmingham district has been centered on the mining and manufacturing in- terests and the agricultural opportu- mites of the community have been sore- ly neglected.
 Indeed it Is believed by majority of the people of this section that Jef ferson county in the main is unfit for the growing of any crops to a profit able degree. But the recent soil sur tey of the county shows that we not only have surprising variety of fine soils but the county offers some ex- ceptional advantages in truck grow ing, dairying and stock raising. Fruit growing Is also one of the important undeveloped industries.
 The average Birmingham citizen will be surprised to know that there are upward of 150.000 acres of improved farm lands in Jefferson county with about double that amount arabic and possible of profitable cultivation.
 
 the United States agricultural depart raent has done wonderful work in the south during the past few years in increasing the yields of corn, cotton and other crops. The nature of the work is just the name indicates
 Every farmer in a county where Il local agent has been assigned who is willing to cooperate is made a demon stration farmer. He sets aside a cer- tain part of his farm to be cultiva ted and managed under the direction of the local agent who uses the latest methods that have been developed by experience, long study and actual re- suits by demonstrators and experts all over the country.
 The local agent in Jefferson county will establish from 30 to 30 demonstra- tion farms in various sections of the county All the farmers or growers in the community of each demonstra- fion farm will have the advantage Of instruction, observation and the lec- lures that are given on the regular demonstration farms.
 The local agent makes regular rounds If the farms to watch development and instruct in the scientific methods. He announces his periodic visits ahead of time and all the farmers and others interested in each community are noti- fed and invited to be present on the farm with the local agent.
