HORSE TRADING and
CULTURE OF COTTON
Wlll be the Main Features Of February
Trade Day. Saturday
the Srd.

A meeting of the Trade Day
Committee was held last Friday
and it was decided to devote the
coming Trade Day. Saturday, Febru-
AIRY 3rd. to horse trading and the
Cotton Raising Question.
This is the season Of the year
when all farmers should get in
position to do good farm work and
the committee thinks that a great
many trades could be made at the
February meeting. It is requested
that all farmers who have stock to
sell or trade. bring it in on that
day. 10 addition to the trading
and selling which is expected to
be made to the farmers. the COM
mittee is making an effort to get
buyers from away to buy stock
Fifty or sixty letters have been
written to livery men in the vest
ern part of Alabama. from which
the committee hopes to get some
good results 1t is also suggested
that the farmers bring in the cattle
and other live stock. which they
wish to exchange for horses or
mules. The committee hopes to
have general swapping day on
Saturday. February 3rd The
morning will be devoted to trading.
and in the. afternoon there will be
talks Oh Cotton Raising.
The last meeting. the January
Trade Day. was very interesting
and the farmers are convinced that
they can raise cotton provided they
follow the three essential rules, j..
e.: Thorough preparation of the
soil; End, plant early. using an
early variety of seed; 3rd. go after
the weevil the minute he shows
his head. Try to Kill all the live
weevils and after that endeavor to
destroy their young by getting rid
of the punctured squares. What is
needed most is determination to
make the cotton and success will be
assured. Watch out for full pro-
gram in another issue.

WILL TRY TO BETTER
TELEPHONE SERVICE
Secretary Couant Getting Information
There Is Lots Of Room for
improvement.

Secretary F. o. Conant, of the
Board Of Trade. among his other
duties these days, is busying himself
in an effort to see If some new
plan, equipment or condition can
not lie contaminated whereby the
city uf Brookhaven will secure bet
ter telephone service. One of the
most prominent plans he has under
cons deration and which he is en-
deavering to get all the informa-
tion possible on at present is what
is called the "fiashlight system :"
AS the matter now stands this
means an increase in cost of teIe-
phone services so per month for
the business phones now costing
SITS and So 90 for the residence
rates instead of $l.65. the amount
now paid.
The Leader thinks that all Brook
haven will almost unanimously
agree on one thing that the city
is entitled to better service than it
has been getting. Whether it is
the fault of any of the several
managers of the past few years.
the operators or lack of them-in-
experience or the equipment, it is
immaterial to the patrons of the
telephone company. The service,
except on occasion, is not what it
should be.
The public is paying for prompt,
efficient phone service, and is en-
titled to it.
Complaint is and has been
general and any move that will bet.

provement in the equipment or
otherwise, viii be welcomed by
those who have to use the hello
wires.
