SETTING EXAMPLE IN
TALLADEGA COUNTY
Boys Alfalfa Clubs Suggested as Re-
suit of Work Achieved at Well
Known Negro School
From the Tailadega Mountain Home

From the Talladega Mountain Home.
After a visit to the farm of Talladega
college and seeing its magnificent fields
of alfalfa and hearing from t. j. Larkins,
the manager, the possibilities of the crop,
the ease of its cultivation and its profits,
the question naturally arises, why not
Boys' alfalfa clubs" along with the corn,
tomato and pig clubs.
Talladega college is one of the leading
negro schools of the country, and its ag-
ricultural department is second to no
other line of its work The crop of al
falfa which is now attracting attention
consists of 10 acres 1t is growing on land
Of average fertility and is three years
old. Last year six cuttings were taken off
the crop and the average annual yield
per acre was six TONS although part of
the land produced eight tons. With the
sale of alfalfa at an average price of SIS
ton, that the crop is one of great profit
is conclusive. The college has its own
rock grinding machine and pulverizes
lime rock together with bones for the al
falfa lands. In growing alfalfa the main
expense Is in the initial work of the prep
aration of the land. With the crop grow
ing, the future is one of taking reason
able care and cutting the profits off the
land every few weeks. Mr.. Larkin has
made the offer of giving to any farmer
innocuating material for as much as five
acres and in addition he will be glad to
have anyone interested call upon him and
get the advantage of his experience in al
falfa, and he further states that when
possible he will so to the farms and show
how to perform the work.
A practical demonstration is being made
at Talladega college of the only sure
method of boil weevil prevention, and
that is the production of food and dairy
crops. Growing on the farm are Russian
harry vetch, soy beans and rape, along
with oats, corn, garden truck, etc. Fields
of rape in rotation practically feed a
large herd of pure bred Duroc Jersey
hogs. While the writer was on the
ground a prominent citizen of a neigh
boring county was there buying pigs for
breeding purposes. Two large silos insure
green food all the year for large herd
of Jersey cows, which are so handled that
not bit of stable manure is lost A
dipping vat for tick eradication Is on the
ground. Farmers offered its use
for the cost of dipping, 10 cents an an
imal.
With the crops that are grown at this
farm the ground is undergoing enrich
ment all the while. Actual demonst1a-
ton is going on in practically all the
crops that the agricultural experts tell
us must be grown to beat the boil weevil,
and only short respite has Talladega
county from the cotton pest.
The word of the town farmer" is often
scoffed at, but what he sees with his
own eyes and is told by men who know,
must be believed and that is the case
Of conditions here referred to. A visit
ITO the farm of Taladega college Is well
worth the time of anyone, and at all
times those who wish to inspect it have a
welcome.

Huntsville, April 9o.-(Speeial) )-Herbert
Lyman of Boston, treasurer of the Merri-

interview here today that agitation of a
reduction in the tariff has made business
unusually quiet In the textile world. Mr..
Lyman said reduction of the tariff will
cut down the profits of all cotton manu-
factories and he anticipates quiet mar

not expect any such conditions to return

Addresses the Senate
In addressing the Senate upon his BILL
making it unlawful TO publish details or
crimes and accidents In the District of
Columbia" ETC., the senator among other
things said:
The newspaper is great and powerful
influence in a free country like ours
where the press is free and untrammeied
That influence may work fer good or evil.
Ine publisher CT a newspaper takes upon
himself responsibilities of the highest or
der. He may make his publication an
influence and support for the very best in
public and private life. /, finds it's way
into the homes of the people and may be

hood, direct the STEPS Of the young to a
higher standard of purity and righteous
ness, elevate citizenship. inspire young
and old to better understanding of the
obligations of citizenship in a free repub-
lie like ours, and higher and more un-
selfish patriotism. Such should be the
mission Of every publication"
If the senator had concluded his address
with these remarks, every newspaper in
the country would have pointed its finger
at its own collective person and say
t1of rfsl,
ator fully. But he does not. He proceeds
to point out the things in detail that a
newspaper should not do. In discussing
the claims OF newspaper men that they
furnish this kind of news" "details of
crimes, trials OF a sensational nature, etc.)
because the people want it and will nave
IT," the senator said:
Who Is Responsible?
But assuming that the greater number
of people really want their papers TO pub
lish such stuff who is responsible for this
depraved appetite for deleterious and
hurtful news? The men who publish the
newspapers SHOULD seriously ask them
selves that question and act accordingly
In this sentence the senator has placed
the responsibility for the creation of the
appetite of toe public for sensational
news upon the newspapers. He has pad
died out into pretty deep water. The most
sensational yellow newspapers of the
country are not the most popular, and
certainly WELD the least influence with
the public. They have the least influence
and power in molding the public mind, -
and after once winning a reputation for
'sensationalism" the news published in
their columns is always looked upon with
a certain degree of suspicion by the pub
lie.
The senator specifically pointed out the
Beatty case, and declared that the mere
mention that such a crime had been
