Washington, January 2.-fSpecial1- -
Statistics for products for Alabama are
presented In bulletin soon to be issued
by Director Durand of the bureau of the
census. department of commerce and Ia
bor. 1t was prepared under the super
vision of John Lee Coulter, expert special
agent for agriculture.
The returns for live stock products OBJ
tanned at the census of 1910, like those
for crops relate to the activities OF the
calendar year 1909. 1t is impossible to
give q total representing the annual pro-
auction of live stock products for the rea-
son that the total value of products from
the business of raising domestic animals
for use, or slaughter, cannot be calcu-
lated from the census returns.
Dairy Products
The number of farms in Alabama re-
porting dairy cows on April 10, 1910, was
2o39ss. but only 164,33s reported dairy
products in 1863. That there should be
this difference is not surprising. Doubt
less some farmers who had dairy cows in
1910 had none in 1909, while other farmers
neglected to give information for the pre-
haps because the farm was then in other
hands. Dairy products in general are
somewhat less accurately reported than
the principal crops. This is particularly
the case as regards the quantity of milk
produced. The number of farms which
made any report Of milk produced during
1909 was 16019i (somewhat less than the
total number reporting dairy products),
and the number of dairy cows on such
farms on April is. 1910, was $4,000. The
amount of milk reported was rs, 72S, 900 gal
Ions. Assuming that there were the same
number of COWS in 1909 as in 1910, this
would represent an average of $50 gallons
per cow In considering this average,
however, it should be borne In mind that
the quantity of milk reported is proba-
bly, deficient and that the distinction be-
tween dairy and other cows is not always
strictly observed in the census returns.
BY reason of the incompleteness of the
returns for milk produced, the census
bureau has made no attempt TO deter
mine the total value of dairy products
for 1909 For convenience a partial total
has been presented comprising the re-
ported value .of milk and cream sold as
such and sold on the butter-fat basis and
the reported salue of butter and cheese
made whether for home consumption or
for sale. The total thus obtained for 1900
is Sc, 396 900, which may be defined as the
total value of dairy products exclusive Of
milk and cream used on the farm pro-
ducing.
Only about ene-twestieth of the hlillI
reported as produced by Alabama farm
ers in 1909. was sold SUCH The butter
made on farms in 1903 was valued at
5,65S000.

consulted mostly of potatoes and other
vegetables, forest products, and hay and
forage
The value of crops in 1909 was a71 per
cent greater than IN 1899. this increase be-
ing no doubt due in part to higher prices.
There was an Increase of 7s per cent in
the total acreage of crops for which acre
age was reported; the principal absolute
increases We're those in the acreage OF
cotton and of hay and forage. and the
principal absolute decrease was that IN
the acreage of cereals.
Vegetables
In 1909 the total acreage of potatoes and
other vegetables was ,567 and their vail
ne s9,S43,0oo. Excluding potatoes and
sweet potatoes and yams, the acreage of
vegetables was d9,i6S and their value
cidedly greater than in 1899.
cidedly gerater than in 1899.
Small Fruits
Strawberries are by far the most fn1nor-
tant of the small fruits raised in Ala
cama. The value of the strawberry crop
in lsSa was $1G0.026. The total acreage
of small fruits IN 1899 was 1902, and in
1899, 761. an increase of St.9 per cent The
production in 1909 was 10000 quarts, as
compared with $4,000 qu&rts in 1s99 and
the value was $i65,3S6 in 1909, as compared
with $54097 in 1899.
Orchard Fruits
The total quantity of orchard fruits pro-
6uced in 1909 was 2,476000 bushels. valued
at S,Sl9.000 Peaches and nectarines con-
tributed considerably more than one-half
of this quantity: apples and pears most
of the remainder The production of
grapes in 1909 amounted 10 1,523,OOo
pounds, valued at $751; ,3S6; that of nuts to
$4,000 pounds, valued at $37,9S6: and trop-
ical fruits produced in 1909 were valued
at sS6 121.
The production of all orchard fruits to-
gether in 1909 was 1912 per cent more in
quantity than that in 1899, while the pro-
duetion of grapes decreased decidedly.
The value of orchard fruits increased
from $477O00 in 1899 to $l.Sl9O00 in 1909,
while that of grapes decreased from $751;
Se1 in 1899 to $S1 1856 in 1909. 1t should be
noted that the values for 1899 include the
value of more advanced products derived
from orchard fruits OF grapes, such as
cider. vinegar. dried fruits, and the like,
and may therefore involve some duplica-
ton, while the values shown for 1909 relate
only to the products in their original con-
Gition.

fourth represent estimates.
The number of fieeces produced in 1893

Poultry Products

The total number of fowls on Alabama
farms on April Is, 1910. was o,o2S,00o. OF
the 221, ,4s2 farms reporting fowls 36.679 did
not report any eggs produced in 1909. and
90, 593 did not report any poultry raised in
1909. The production of eggs actually re-
ported for the year 1909 was 19.626,000 doz-
ems, valued al 81, ,321 900. According to The
Twelfth census reports the production of
eggs in 1899 was IS, 779,0O0 dozens. the val
ue being $1s26,00o. The latter figures,
however, are somewhat in excess of the
actual returns at that census. because
thew include estimates made to cover
those cases where the schedules reported
fowls on hand without reporting the pro-
duction of eggs. In order to make the re-
turns for 1909 comparable with those pub
lished for 1899 similar estimates have been
made the method of estimate and the JUS
tifcatjon therefor being substantially the
same as in the case of WOOL The total
production of eggs in 1863, including these
estimates. was 22,235o0O dozens. valued
at So. .762, 900. The total production OF roul-
try in 1909 including estimates made on
the same basis as for eggs, was l., $4,000
fowls valued at 3,16S 600.

ANOTHER HIGHWAY
FOR THE PASS CITY.
Dell Potter, of Clifton, Says
the Southern Highway
Will Surely Come.

Ell Paso is going to be on the South
ern National highway, from Washing
ton to the Pacific coast Dell NJ Pot
ter says so, and Potter is the champion
good roads booster in the country. He
has been talking good roads and trans
continental highways for years. He
was a pioneer in the work and has
never stopped since he commenced.
Weighing over 200 pounds and having
10 pounds of energy for every pound
of flesh, he is a genuine heavyweight
in road matters.
Mr.. Potter is en- route from his home
at Clifton, AriZ, to Asheville, n. C.. to
meet good roads delegates from all the
southern states and plan for a, south
ern good roads convention at that
place. 1t will probably be held shortly
after the Inauguration so the delegates
can get the advantage of the inaugura-
ton rates While he is away, he will
visit the governors Of most Of the
southern states and get them to name
delegates to the convention.
This convention will plan the route
for the road through their respective
states. Mr.. Potter carries the pledges
of FL PasO good roads enthusiasts that
they will support the highway. He
asked them to see that Gov. ColQuitt
appointed a proper proportion Of FL
Pasoans as delegates from Texas to the
congress. Texas will be entitled to 20
delegates. The Texas delegates will
decide what towns the road will touch
in this state. After each of the states
has decided upon the route, then con-
gress viii be asked to appropriate
money for the route that will be open
all the year" Mr. Potter has given up
the Ocean to Ocean highway plan be-
cause there were many diSagreements
over where it would run and because
also that the Old Trails association has
planned q historic cross country road
over almost the same territory, which
would interfere with the Ocean TO
Ocean road He is now working for the
Southern highway, which has been in
contemplation for some time, and
which. he says, he is certain will be
built. He did not ask FL PaSo to en-
dOrse any route for this road west of
here; he says he Will take care of that
part Of it in Arizona and New Mexico;
he merely asked FL PasO to endorse the
project and ask to be included on the
route This the FL PasOanS did.
The FL PasOans met Mr.. Potter at a
dinner in the Paso del Norte last eve
ming. Z. NJ Hurd, q personal friend of
Mr.. Potter, received the news that he
would be here and invited a number
o. good roads enthusiasts in to meet
him. There were present: G. +. Hawks,
Claiborne Adams o. II. Baum. Z. L.
Cobb. r. H. Rinehart J. D. Bukey. G.
A Martin and Mr.. Hurd- They dis
cussed the Southern highway idea with
Mr.. Potter and promised him their sup
port and the support of FL PasO in Sc
curing it Mr.. Potter left at $3.50 for
the east
