Alabama Strawberries Famous
For strawberries and other small fruits
Alabama furnishes majority of what is
placed on the local market. Cullman, fa-
nous throughout the entire country for
its Strawberries sends many ear loads
here each spring, as do a number of
towns in the miduIe and southern Dor-
tions OF the state. Blaekberries and rasp-
berries the former used to a great extent
for canning purposes. both grow profusey.
Raspberries are cultivated to a large eX-
tent. but baclSberries need and are given
very little attention The mountain sec
tions of the state furnish blueberries,
which the also used in large quantities
Tor canning purposes.
Peaches are raised throughout the en-
tire state. but despite this a large nhmber
OF crates are shipped here annually from
Georgia These arrive within a few hours
after picking. and are the finest in the
world. Birmingham gets an advantage
over the cities of the north and cast by
reason of the fact that peaches may be
picked after ripening and then placed ON
the local market while they are still in
excellent condition. Peaches shipped to
the north and east from either south
Alabama or Georgia are generally picked
before ripenins in order that they will not
decay before reaching the ultimate
consumer and the flavor in this case is
not nearly so good.
All in all, Birmingham probably enjoys
as good a market as any city of its size
in the world. It's people are used to good
food and the commission men have found
by long experience that they will have no
other kind.

BROKERS HAVE BUILT
UP A FINE BUSINESS

/ A most interesting and typically mod
ern business enterprise is that of the
factors and brokers who distribute the
food products of the country among the
Wholesale and retail dealers.
The business is a typically modern one
because it is only few years ago that
it was thought necessary for every manu-
facturer OF food products to keep en-
ployed a big staff OF travelling men to
see to the distribution of his wares. But
under the new system the trade is car
ried on quite differently, much more sat
isfactorily and far more economically.
There are numerous brokers and fac
tors established in Birmingham To handle
the wares of different manufactures of
particular brands and kinds of food
stuffs throughout the region of which
this city is "A center. And, ON the other
hand the big manufacturers of this city
and territory have other brokers and fac
tors in all the other arge cities of the
country to dispose of their product to the
wholesale and retail dealers
IL for example a merchant in New York
say, has a large aud developing trade
for his certain brands of food stuffs lie
| does not as of Nore send high priced
| travelling men here TO do his business for
! him. but he connects with a broker in
! that sort of goods whose intimacy with
the region and whose experience in the
| local trade is of inealculable value in the
| selling of the product In this way
through the use of factors and brokers
| IL is estimated that the great manufac-
| turers sell twice as much of their pro-
| duce as they would if they employed an
outsider and at the same time save them
selves much responsibility, organization
and consequent expense.
| Some of the largest of these brokerase
| houses IN the south are located in Br-
mingham and between them all they are
| able to supply the people of Birmingham
and its vicinity with every variety OF
everything to eat. Z ne brokerage bust
ness in its relation TO foodstuirs has be-
come one of the most enterprising and
rapidly growing enterprises of the Magic
City.

CHOICEST FOOD
0bTA|NAbLE ON
LOCAL MARKETS
Birmingham's Location a
Big Asset in Getting
Fruit, Poultry, Etc.


Birmingham markets provide the best
and purest foods that the world affords.
other oities may have larger markets
than those of this city but it would be
hard to find one anywhere that offers
more diversified variety of foods or
that deliyers them in better shape.
The location of this city has much to
do with the fine quality Of It's markets.
Local truck gardeners furnish the greater
part of the green stuffs during the regu-
lar season. while in the late winter and
cary spring south Alabama sends ear
load after car load of early vegetables
for consumption in this district. Al other
seasons Florida products are received in
large quantities The comparative short
distance from Birmingham to the Land
of Flowers gives local people the very
best of Florida grown vegetables while
they are still fresh.
For fish and oysters there are few bet
ter markets in the country than Brming-
| ham, excepting. of course, the coast
| towns. Mobile and Pensacola oysters are
received in large quantities within twelve
or fourteen hours after they leave the
oyster beds. and all sorts of fish from the
Gulf of Mexico are delivered here in quick
time, many of them still being alive Oh
their arrival on the local market
| The north Alabama rivers also give
Birmingham people quite good deal of
fresh fish. although not as many now
as in former years.
Poultry Raised Here
| Much of the poultry and produce on the
Birmingham markets is raised within a
radius of so to 100 miles of the city and
so great is the demand for native poultry
! that the Chamber of Commerce aud other
civic bodies are advertising the possibili-
ties of this section to the chicken faneiers
| and truckmen of the world. The majority
of the poultry shipped here is from Ten
| nessee. Thousands of Turkeys from the
| Volunteer state are also shipped here
every year. Tennessee poultry IS extreme
ly popular throughout the north and east
but here again Birmingham has an advan-
| tage as the fowls sent here are only on tbs
road for a few hours, and are conse-
quently in better shape than after hard
trip of three of four days as is exper-
fenced when they are sent north.
The greater part of the meat and beei
ON the local market is shipped here. Only
| a small per centage of its native beef
as the cattle tick has not been completely
eradicated as yet and until this Is done
the western beef will continue to be tn,

ments. through the light textured De-
kalb fine sandy loan, TO the heavy Wa
bash and Conasauga clays The depth
of the soil material varies from a few
inches in the rougher portions of the
county to many feet in the case of the
Huntington, Decatur and Hagerstown
soils
In topographic position the soils
range from the level Huntington silt
loan to the mountainous rough stony
land and the knolls and ridges of the
C1arksville stony loan. As already
stated, the Dekalb series is derived
from the carboniferous rocks, the silly
and sandy members occurring where the
topography is smoothest and conditions
for the accumulation of comparatively
deep, fine-textured soil most favorable.
Among these carboniferous rocks are
found irregular knobs, narrow droughty
ridges and long rough shaped valleys.
Other Different Loans
The Clarksville loan owes its origin
mainly to the Fort Payne ebert forma-
tion of the lower sucarboniferous and
to the cherty inclusions in the Knox
dolomite formation of the lower silu-
rian. The greater proportion of this
type occupies the cherry hills and ridges
northeast of Birmingham between Red
mountain and Sand mountain. ending in
mountains of rough stony land farther
north.
The Upshur stony loan is derived
from the Clinton iron ore of the Red
mountain formation, which, upon
weathering, gives rise to a soil along
the exposed narrow ridges.
The Conasauga clay and certain
phases of the Hagerstown soils ee de-
rived from the flatwoods or Coosa shales
of Canbrian age. which are character
lied by shales and interbedded lime
stones of nearly vertical inclination.
The Knox dolomite and the Trenton
limestone contribute most largely to the
formation of the Decatur and Hagers-
town soils occupying the Jones and
Opossum valleys, though in the case Of
Hagerstown stony loan more or less
Of the stony material comes from the
cherty formations giving rise to the
Clarksville stony loan.
The Huntington silt loan, Hunting
ton gravelly loan, and Wabash clay
are alluvial soils derived from sedi-
ments deposited by streams at times

State Organized in 1917
In 1917 Alabama was organized as a
territory and in 1919 admitted as a
state. At the first session of the legis-
lature Jefferson county was formed
from the southern portion of Blount
county Since 1890, however as part
of Jefferson has been annexed to Wal
ker and a portion of Shelby joined to
Jefferson. In 1915 fort had been
erected near Old Jonesboro and colony
of Tennesseans had settled near Wood

from Tennessee. Kentucky and the

that he be released from custody as
