be shipped south. Even at this price they
should be profta Bile. as Yields of over 200
bushels per acre are often reported. Very

Cabbage should be more generally
grown. In July and August there is often
a scarcity, large consignments being

Strawhcrries.-The DeKslb and lime
stone soils are well adapted to straw
berries and blackberries, although few
are grown, and berries are imported from
the south and from Cullman county. The
price is always high and the culture of
these fruits would prove profitable Large
quantities of cantaloupes are grown and
marketed at profitable prices
Other vegetables.-Reets. peas, peppers,
cucumbers, kale, spinach and cauliflower
find ready sale and are well adapted to
the lighter sandy Dekab soils. Turnips
are universally grown a winter crop.

Playgrounds for Birmingham

the National Fairgrounds association.
declares that after a survey of Birming-
ham and vicinity he has come to the con-
clusion that there is no city in the United
States which has such possibilities for
the development of Fairgrounds and
recreation parks as this
As a result of his recommendations the
city commission is already going ahead
with the plans for at least II Fairgrounds
to be added to the already great list of
big parks with which the city is graced.
1t is probable that at least 5000
will be expended by the municipal govern
ment for the childrens Fairgrounds alone
1t is planned not only to establish the
Fairgrounds proper, but also to equip
them with shower baths. swings and
every other thing that a kid loves to

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR
TRUCK STERS AND FARMERS
IN THIS DISTRICT-HOW THE
MONEY is SPENT

Wanted-Men to grow $3,00o,0oo worth of
foodstuffs in the Birmingham district an
nuaIy. The local markets will purchase
every dollars worth. Land may be pur-
chased from $50 to $40 per acre, or rented
at from 81 to $40 per acre.
That 10 the kind of a want adj that
Birmingham might well put before the
world. This district is now sending more
than 100000 annually to other states Tor
foodstuffs A little more than S1,0000O0
is spent for hay, corn and oats, but al
most s2,O00000 goes for vegetables and
produce. all of which could be produced
here by intensified farming.
'sOne hundred men could make $4,000
each annually said prominent pro-
duce merchant a few days ago, "if they
would devote little study TO intensified
farming, and practice 1t in the Birming-
ham district
Il believe the local market is one of
the best in the world, and 10 years from
now it will be twice as good There
is every advantage that could be de-
sired in this section. Fortunes are await
ing the men who make the first move
ment in truck gardening on a large scale.
What Birmingham Buys
Experiments have proven that Irish and
sweet potatoes may be grown in this sec
ton as proftably as anywhere in the
world. According to the United States
soil survey both Irish and sweet potatoes
can be grown here in such a manner as
to produce from $50 to 200 bushels per
acre. The soil is adapted to their cul-
ture in every possible way.
Birmingham consumes about 100000
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

bushels of potatoes, which are grown
outside of the state. More than $Soo,0oO
is sent from the Birmingham district
every year in this one item.
That is only one example of what may
be saved to the Birmingham district an
nually if there were more truck garden
ers in this section.
What Soil Survey Says
That the soil of the Birmingham dis
trict will easily raise a majority of the
vegetables quoted above is a proven fact.
Witness the following extracts from the
United States soil survey:
Sweet Corn.-The demand for sweet
corn is great and two crops can be pro-
duced, the first being sold In June and
the second In the fall.
Irish Potatoes.-Two crops of Irish po-
tatoes can be grown in seasons of suffi-

THE FARM LANDS IN
ALABAMA OFFER A
BIG OPPORTUNITY
(Continued From Page Three,


investments on the American continent
are to be found in Alabama farm lands,
because Alabama stands only on the
threshold of her agricultural development.
The area of the state is S2,slso66 acres
OF this total there are 20,132,Sl2 acres
classed as farming lands. yet only $685.,
5s1 acres are attempted to be cultivated.
OF this latter amount it is safe to say
one-half of it under present systems. or
want of systems, is practically idle land
And these lands can be bought any
where from s12 per acre UP to s2o, which
price will buy lands that will produce in
money crops from 500 to $500 per acre
These figures are conservative, and they
clearly show that the cheapest and best
farming lands on this continent are here
in Alabama.

125 to 175 bushels an acre; the second is
expected to yield about 100 bushels. Only
one crop can be produced from southern
grown seed.
Sweet Potatoes.-Sweet potatoes sue
ceed well on all the lighter soils The
yield ranging from $50 to $50 bushels per
acre. Although prices are never less than
10 cents a bushel and often more than
81, only small patches are planted. There
is room for the farmer who understands
the crop and soil adaptation to grow both
kinds of potatoes on large commercial

zens will meet the commissioners
of the Verde Valley fair. on Au-
gust 10th, at Camp Verde, and
dates will be arranged to prevent

county seats named to secure the
cooperation of the northern tier
of counties. The dates for the
fair will be announced later in

In order to launch the under
taking successfully, members are
being secured very rapidly in
Yavapai county at $3.50. The f.
nancial success of the venture is
already pretty we'll assured.
