OF AGRICULTURE.

AS time passes we realize more
and more the Importance of bit
ter knowledge by the farmers of
modern practical methods in farm
practice. We see our population
increasing without proportionate in
crease in production We see the
various enterprises other than farm
ing demanding labor and, by their
thorough organization and manage
ment, increasing the producing ca
pacity Of the labor they employ so
that they can afford to pay prices for
labor that are prohibitive to the
farmer who fails to intelligently di-
rect the labor on his farm to increase
its producing capacity propOrtionate-
".
In the past, and at present, too
many of our farmers, while they APP
plaud the splendid system, thorough
understanding and organization Oh
the working force in public institu-
tons, act as though it were not worth
considering in their own business.
Now. brother farmer, we must real
ize that to be a success farming must
be given the same thorough organi-
cation, the same attention to detail
necessary in other lines Of work If
we hope to succeed.
We have had an unusual season
this year for growing crops While
the rainfall has been about up to
the normal and ample for the grow
ing of normal crops, yet it has been
irregular and we have been unpre-
pared to conserve the moisture that
has fallen, and our unpreparedness
has cost us dearly.
Since ] have been connected with

been emphasizing in every way
could the Importance of deep pillow,
ing, turning under vegetable matter,
subsoiling. thorough pulverizlng,
keeping a dust mulch on the land
during the growing season and a COW
er crop during the winter season
Those who have done so have had
a decided advantage over those who
have not. They have conserved
their moisture, they have made avail
able plant food in their soil, they
have prevented their land from
washing, and just in proportion to
the extent they follow those direc-
tions will their advantages increase.
We have some striking examples

simple things suggested. There Is

FIRST LONG RUN OF
MINE RESCUE CAR IS
H|GHLYSUCCESSFUL
Driven 1870 Miles Yesterday
on Trip to Tuscaloosa and
Nesbitt Returns Great
ly Pleased

The test run to Tuscaloosa yesterday of
the specially designed motor car attached
to the local rescue station of the bureau
of mines was extremely successful. The
six-ton car was driven 13o miles over all
kinds OF roads without the slightest trout
BILE. The most serious accident of the
day was a jammed foot throttle which
was easily remedied.
C. H. Nesbitt, chief mine inspector of
Alabama, expressed keen satisfaction
over the preliminary test. The car has
effectually proved it's worth, he said.
Il was particular to pick out a hard
run for the first long trip of the car.
said Mr.. Nesbitt last night after he re-
turned, because I wanted fair sample
OF what the car would do. 1t has amply
justified all our expectations, and in my
opinion has solved the problem of getting
helmet men on the ground at the time
of a disaster. Within a radius of 81
miles with this car / can put 10 men on
the scene within two and a half hours
after the explosion.
THE car has demonstrated that IL will
go anywhere it will be necessary to take
It, and at good speed, too. 1t is pos
sible to generate 40 miles an hour with
the cars engine, which is some feat
with a machine which weighs six tons.
The party left Birmingham yesterday
morning shortly after o'clock with Chiel
Nesbltt In charge, and II. NJ. Harris a
the wheel. The direct route to Tusca
loosa leads through the mining towns OF
sumpter. Johns, Adger. Abernant and
Yoande, where the mine rescue car and
It's occupants received a warm welcome
from the miners. The trip was without
accident until Hardcastle was reached
when the foot throttle was jammed and
considerable time consumed in repairing
1t. The party took things very easily,
as no attempt was made for any speed
records. Consequently the car reache

rousing reception had been planned
in Tuscaloosa for Chief Nesbitt and his
men but their late arrival disarranged
plans. They were entertained at lunch,
however, and shown as much of the city
as possible during their brief stay. Great
interest was expressed in the work Chief
Nesbitt is doing, and he was cordially
invited TO return to Tuscaloosa when he
could stay longer
The return trip to Birmingham was
without incident, although by moonlight.

CHAMBER WILL Be
MORE CONSERVATIVE
Directors Yesterday Heard
Reports on Auditorium,
Jail and Other Subjects

If the members of the Chamber of Com
merce support the board of directors, of
which there apparently is no doubt what
ever, a new and strong policy OF con-
servatism, It is believed. will soon be in
augurated by that organization. Indica-
tions of such a change were noticeable
latter the directors monthly meeting yes
terday, although no official announcement
has been made.
There appears to be a strong disposition
on the part of the board to adhere closely
to policy of concentration In the work
Of the chamber, and 1t is believed that the
tendency hereafter will be. to exercise O.
greater care before giving financial sup
port to any project 1t would appear that
in the future the policy of the chamber
will be largely that of Investigation and
Endorsement or condemnation of move
ment as the case may be, leaving 1t to
those more closely interested in 1t to do
the active work and raise funds IL such
be included in the proposition.
This, however, is not to be taken as in
any way applying to the standing COM
mittees of the chamber, the activities o.:
which are to be as extensive as hereto
fore. and with the same support from the
board of directors. A definite announce
ment along these lines is expected Off
cially within the near future.
At the board meeting yesterday four
new members were elected as follows: T.
S. Washburn. J. w. Worthington, Jesse
NJ. Marsh and Bromfield Ridley.
New members were discussed. and while
no campaign of the band wagon variety
is to be staged, committees from both
the chamber and the Board of Trade are
expected to get active in a quiet way and
secure some new members before the first
of the year.
Chairman Paschal Shook reported upon
the status Of the auditorium movement
and upon motion of Robert Ewing the
special auditorium committee, of which
Mr.. Shook has been chairman, was con-
tinued in order that it might corporate
and aid the city commission In any way
the latter body desired until the audi
torium was actually completed. Upon
motion of Robert Jeniison, Jr., a rising
vote of thanks was extended to President
Harding and Chairman Shook for the sue,
cess of the auditorium movement under
their supervision.
Chairman w. M. Drennen of the COM
mittee on city and county affairs re-
ported that several conferences had been
held with the board of revenue in regard
to removing the county jail, but that
nothing definite had been done and the
committee asked for more time. 1t is re-
ported that the board of revenue as n
body favors the erection of a skyscraper
office building on the jail site with the
jail on the top stories. There is a strong
public sentiment, however. against any
bond issue on any Improvement in the
jail as long as the fee system Is In oper-
, alton.
