May Remove The Quarantine On
 Cattle At State Fair Exhibits

raised with profit in a tick infested sec ton.
 "The United states government. in or der to encourage the exhibit Of better and purer breeds of beef cattle at the Ala bama State Fair, is willing to remove the quarantine restrictions against entry of cattle from the clean district
 "It marks progressive step in the management of your State Fair officials that they nave taken up this matter with the United States department of agricul- ture and with the compliance with cer- tain disinfection and other Restrictions. it 10 allow cattle from the free area to come to the Alabama State Fair for exhibit.
 T understand that one large cattle breeder in the north anticipates bringing four carloads of fine Herefords. Short horns, Aberdeen-Angus and other pure breeds to your State Fair. This should greatly stimulate the beef cattle indus try in this section. and your fair officials deaerve great credit for their activity along these lines
 Dr. Galt went out to the Alabama State Fair grounds with Secretary Chaffee of the State Faif association, and the mat ter vas gone into in it's every detail, and Secretary Chaffee stated last night that he felt certain that proper arrangements would be made by which cattle from any section of the country can be exhibited at the State Fair this year. He stated that last year the swine exhibit at the Ala bama State Fair was the largest of any in the south, and he had hopes that the some could be said for the Alabama State Fair this year, not only as regards swine. but also regarding the beef cattle and dairy cattle exhibits.

pr. Sid Galt, veterinarian Inspector United States department of agriculture, was in the city yesterday in conference with the Alabama State Fair officials. re- garding the removal of quarantine restric- tions against cattle coming to the State Fair for exhibit from outside the quar- antine line Dr. Gait said yesterday in discussing tine matter;
 There is no reason why the Alabama State Fair, with the enormous attendance it is attracting should not have one of inc largest beef cattle exhibits in the south. with the boil weevll appearing in ,be southwest of Alabama and it's rav- ages across the state being as certain as fate, 1t tehcoyes everyone interested sin the upbuildiog of our states resources to do all they can to encourage diversifica- tion of crops and increased interest in live stock production.
 "Alabama at present has very little beef cattle to exhibit, and the only way to stimulate interest in this very profitable industry is to attract exhibits from out side the quarantine lines. Such exhibits uill stimulate interest in live stock rais- ing. With the eradication of the cattle tick there is no reason why Alabama should not derive great profit from the raising of beef cattle. We have the pasturasc practically the year round, we have tho cotton seed by-products and everything else that goes to make beef cattle profitable. What is lacking, though, is the pure breed which will manufacture beef at a profit Mongrel cattle can never make beef witn profit to the producer, and in fact no pure breed of beef can be

ALLEN OBJECTS ID THE DATA OF REAL ESTATE EXPERTS Committee Appeared Before the Board of Revenue
 Yesterday BOARD OVERRULES ALIENS OBJECTIONS State That If They Deem Informa- tion Necessary That Real Es-
 tate Men Will Be
 Called Upon

committee of local real estate men visited the board of revenue yesterday to offer that body expert data upon the increases in property taxes recently an- nounced by Capt J. V Allen. back tax commissioner of Jefferson county. That the board should not allow the real estate men to see his assessments was the position taken by Captain Allen, who said the increases were reason able.
 The session from start to finish was replete with dramatic moments Mir. Allen said itswas not intended that he should submit his lists of raises to committee from the real estate ex- change. He said that the proposi- tion was entirely unealled for.
 w B. Leedy, Spokesman for the com mittee, stated that such a service had been rendered the other back tax com missioner by the real estate men of the city and he could not see that there could be any objections. The members of the board of revenue heard short talks from Robert Jemison. Jr.. Robert McDavid, James Bailey and other well known real estate experts, who said the increases should be care fully weighed before being dock keted and that it was purely free serv- ice they wished to offer the board.
 The board of revenue agreed with the members of the committee in a measure stating that the object of the visit was misconstrued by Captain AL len. Commissioner Going went far enough to say that he had gone over a rather complete list of the increase and could not tell whether they should be dock eted or not. The other members of the board expressed a desire to get the information of the real estate men.
 The visit of the real estate men to the board of revenue was finally closed by the board announcing that if any information was desired at a later time they would feel that a call on the real estate men would be entirely consistent. The board, after the visit of the real estate men, worked away at the increases In executive session or since Captain Allen filed the $25.- 000,000 increases.
 The chances are that the board will complete the investigation this week and will then announce which of the increases are just and which, in it's opinion, are too high.

The nutting season is here, and
with 1t comes mad desier on the
part of some people to pound
thei rtuhmbs. A nut cracking
block is the device that relieves
human kind of this burden. The
block can be any size or thickness.
just so 1t is thick enough to per-
NIT the sinking of few holes of
different sizes to hold different
size nuts.
The nuts are then placed In
these holes and hammered at
will. Another feature of this
little aid to sunny dispositions Is
that the nuts are cracked in much
better form for eating.
