citizens here this afternoon. Mr.. Seed

friend to the different school interests
of the state, and would exercise his
powers to curtail expenditures within
the limit of the revenues. His speech
was well received and literally ap-

MANY INQUIRIES RECEIVED
ABOUT ALABAMA ALFALFA LAND

The Alabama Land congress has had
a number of inquiries, principally from
Kentucky, regarding alfalfa lands in
this state, which, it is stated, are the
direct results of the purchase by J. B..
Haggin of some 5000 acres in Greene
county for the raising of alfalfa for
the Elmendort farm, near Lexington,
of which he is the owner. 1t is believed
that this purchase is destined to have
very far reaching effect on the rails
ing of alfalfa in this state and this
fact will induce the Alabama Land con-
gress to devote considerable time at the
meeting in November to the discussion
of the whole subject of soil building
crops.
The soy bean has taken a firm hold
on the coast counties of Alabama and
the management of the land congress
announces that experts will go into the
advantages of this crop and some as
tonishing results will be presented. It
is claimed that the oil from this bean

ing that the city health officer and
chief milk and meat Inspector had lost
the confidence of the public, thai they
had proved themselves grossly ineffi-
ciont in the conduct of their offices
DR.. j. N. Nader, a member of the Mo-
Medical society, asked at the regu-
lar meeting of the society that the
organization request the resignation of
the two city officers.
DR.. Madlers motion was seconded by
DIR. j. 7. England, former county phy
slcian. who expressed the belief that
many of the. indignities heapcd upon
the Medical society growing out of city
health conditions had been brought
about by the inefficiency of the two

Two of the most efficient members of
the band of the Alabama Boys Industrial
school are Emmet and Elmore Brooks the
diminutive twins, who beat the snare
drums
These two little drummers are the SEN
sation of the band wherever they go, or
wherever they appear. In addition to
handling their sticks like veterans they
play traps, bells and other accessories
that fall to the lot of the drummt.-
Neither of them is as big as a minute.
but they handle their parts with an ease
and nonehalance that calls forth the
envy of the small boy and the admiration
of the adults. They are from Mobile.
where their widowed mother resides. They
are learning the tailoring trade, and ere
already adopts with the needle. They are
general favorites and are quite an acquisi-
ton to the band.
The band will render a finely selected
programme at the third annual junior
track and field championships of the

will prove as valuable as cotton seed
oil, while the meal is said to be even
more valuable as feed for cattle and
hogs and for fertilizer purposes.
Experts on all crops will be in at
tendance and 1t is believed that some
of the most valuable data as to what
is actually being done in Alabama will
be before that meeting, thus giving the
state the highest class of publicity.
There was received this week at the
headquarters of the land congress an
other sample of vetch, raised on the
farm of r. II. Lambert, in Wilcox coun-
ty. that measured five feet This is an
other leguminous crop of exceeding val
liable qualities as a soil builder and 1t
is claimed that this will grow on any
soil in the state and that it is worth
more for fertilizing than many tons OF
commercial fertilizer.
County delegations for the Novem-
ber meeting are coming in to the head
quarters of the land congress quite
freely and it is stated that every county
in Alabama will be represented, while
the majority of commercial bodies thai
are active will also be represented.
