farmer pays as much attention to the business side of his industry as does the grower of alfalfa, corn and cot ton. Many a poultryman or truck grower makes as much money on 20 acres as does the average husband man who cultivates 300 to 1000 acres.
 Ten years ago there was scarcely as many as thirty truck farmers in Jefferson county. Today there are about two hundred and the number will increase rapidly from now on. Every trucker who has come here from the north has been fine ad- vertisement for Alabama. Real estate agents who make a speciality of sell ing small farms in the section directly tributary to Birmingham are now crowded with inquiries.
 The Chamber of Commerce has farm committee which was quite ac- tive two or three years ago. If this committee would bestir itself once more it could assist very materially in the number of homeseekers of truck farming experience settling in the Birmingham district.

JUDGE GARY,s HOPE

From the PlItSDuTS DlSpatcn.
 Judge Gary's address at the opening of the meeting of the American Iron and Steel institute at Birmingham opened by recognizing the unsatisfactory condition of the iron and steel business; but de- clared that all the indications point to better business during the next three months than during the past three. and that for the larger future he believed the expansion of the iron and steel business would be beyond the limits of imagination.
 Everyone knows that the iron and steel trade is at present tagging and unsat tisfac- tory. Judge Garys remarks on that point, therefore, convey no news. It Is his faith in the future that is important. If everyone concerned in the trade can be brought to share that faith. the greater part of the distrust and limitation Of the business will be promply removed. Yet both the larger considerations of the wealth of the country and it's ability to sustain its manufacturing interests on the national scale, and the minor details of orders coming from foreign countries. to keep our factories operating. corro5orate Lis optimistic view of the future. The revival and expansion of the trade is certain to come; but it will come sooner in proportion as the faith and confidence In the future expressed by Judge Gary is shared by the people at large.

National Politics Two Years Hence

National Politics Two Years Hence It used to be that when the republi- can party was defeated the leaders quickly rallied their forces and looked forward with confidence to an early return to power. But in 1912 republi- can defeat was so crushing that the Grand Old Party" has not been able to recover as a national organization. If the opponents of the democratic party are ever to win again in pres idential election it will be by progress sives and old liners or standpatters uniting, and a coalition seems to be difficult of accomplishment.
 There will be a few more republi- cans in the Sixty-fourth Congress to be elected today than there are in the Sixty-third Congress, but that fact will not be the result of any revival of the party once so powerful. The gains that the republicans make in certain congressional districts will be due chiefly to local causes.
 The democrats will have large majority in the new House of Repre- sentatives and majority of twelve or more in the Senate. If the people of this country were not satisfied with the democratic policies q the Wilson administration many con- gressional districts that are now strongly dernecratic would go by de- fault. Legislation has been of a very positive and far-reaching kind, and President Wilson has administered to the duties of his high office with statesmanlike ability and unflinching courage. What has been done has been for the benefit of the people in gen. eral. It may be assumed, therefore, that large majority of the millions of voters of the United States are more heartily in favor of Wilson than they were even when he was elected two years ago.
 The democratic victory today, mid way between presidential elections, will mean that the democrats will sweep the country again in 1916. As the democratic legislative programme has been, in large measure, carried out, there will be comparatively little for the next Congress to do in the way of constructive work. The demo- cratic party will doubtless grow in popularity during the next two years, and no matter how much effort at getting together there may be among progressives and republicans nothing can prevent, humanly speaking, Wood row Wilson being his own successor.

one of the most prominent men in
 the German army is Field Marshal
 holmar won der Goltz, who is at pres ent the military governor of Belgium. He Is over 70 years of age and has been connected with the German army for more than half a century. The field marshal was born in Prussia in ls43, and traces his descent from a Goltz who was marshal of France in the reign of Louis XIV. He entered the German army in 1861, took part in the Austrian and French wars and later became instructor in the mili- tary school at Potsdam. He was sent to Turkey in 1883 to recognize the Turkish army and spent I2 years there. In 1910 he returned to Turkey and again tried to put her army in fight ing trim. The poor showing made by the Turks in the Balkan war is said to have damaged the field marshars pres tige somewhat. and 1t is rumored that but for his apparent failure in making good soldiers out of the Turks he would now be chief in command of Germanys armies. It is also said that another factor which has initiated against the field marshal is his un- popularity with the Kaiser. However, he has been steadily promoted to his present high rank and Is considered one of the ablest military authorities in Germany. He has written a book on military affairs which would have as- sured his fame. the critics declare, had he done nothing else. In his youth he wrote romances to help support his widowed mother. He is famous builder of Qualifications. The forts at Koenigsberg and the defenses along the Vistula were planned by him.

Truck Farm Activities

In the cotton states every year marks an increase of interest in truck farming. Around Norfolk, Va, for tunes have been made since the war on the growing of vegetables for the eastern markets. For many years Florida has had large trucking in- terest, but only in the last three or four years have Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana been in- eluded in the states in which truck ing rose to commercial importance.
 For three years past Alabama has been pushing ahead steadily in hor- ticulture as we'll as in large farming Mobile and Baldwin counties are fill ing up with thrifty truckers, and nc better section in the whole country for the farmer can be iound than in Dorth Alabama.
 Every truck farmer within radius of sixty miles of Birmingham has prospered greatly. The cultivation of vegetables for the market has come to be as scientific as the cultivation of the big crops. The intelligent truck

New Chief of England's Navy

John Arbuthnot Fisher, Baron Fisher of Kilverstone, who succeeds Admirable Prince Louis of Batten- berg, as first lord of the admiralty, is said to be the idol of the British fleet. Prince Louis was no figurehead. On the contrary he was one of the ablest men in the navy. He had, in fact, an exceptionally fine record, but the pub lie felt that he was pro-German in his sympathies and therefore misfit. A clamor was set up against him and his resignation was the result. Lord Fisher is regarded by many naval officers as a second Nelson. He is great organizer and the efficiency of the present navy is credited to him, for he it was who reshaped it and brought it up to the most thoroughly modern standards both in armament and discipline. In his new position he will be to the navy what Lord Kitchener is to the army.
 Fisher is now upwards of sixty years of age, but he is the picture of robust health. One of his peculiarities is bis extreme reticence. He long since won the sobriquet among his naval associates as the "Silent Man of the Sea-" In career of long years he has never spoken or written word for publication.
 He had retired from active service in the navy and was not seeking further preferment, but by common consent he was the one man needed to direct Britain's sea fighting; and a sense of patriotism moved him to ac cept the high place he holds today. The British public now breathes freer.

Thinks Glynn Will He Elected

T believe that Governor Glynn, who is now filling an unexpired term in New York. and who Is the democratic nominee to succeed himself, will be elected" said Judge Oscar R. Hundley. who returned from the east yesterday after an absence or two weeks.
 When I first arrived in New York city the election of Whitman, the republican rominee seemed well assured, but Glynn has been gaining rapidly, and his chances of election are certainly bright If the re- publicans had kept the religious issue out of the campaign whitman would have had an easy victory, but after the re- Egious issue was injected the situation changed.
 From all accounts Glynn has made an excellent record In the governors of flee. That counted for something, of course. and the strong backing which President Wilson is giving him is worth much. But Whitman is strong and pop ular and if he had confined his campaign methods to legitimate issues he would have swept the state.''

The south,s ProsperIty

''While it is true that the cotton south has suffered somewhat on account of low prices of the staple. due to the European war, this section will soon be enjoying genuine prosperity again." said Milton F. Ashton of New York.
 'I was in Georgia about 8 month ago and I heard business men say that cotton would sell as low as cents before Christ mas. No one talks that way now. I am told that it did get down to 6le cents, but it is now around cents, and it is Q safe bet that with the opening of the Liverpool and New York cotton exchanges on the 18th of this month the price of spot cotton will be 71a cents if not 8. I am not con nected with the cotton trade, but as a business man, especially interested in the prosperity of the south, I naturally feel a concern in the cotton situation.
 'The south has made wonderful strides since I first visited this section 10 years ago. It is prosperous today, despite the tt ttmporary depression in the cotton mar ket. I feel safe in making the prediction that by this time next year the farmers and the country merchants will have for gotten they ever knew what depression vas This will be so, at any rate, If a small acreage is planted in cotton in the spring of 1915 and an increased acreage planted in corn and oats and a very large 8 acreage turned into pasture for beef cat tie, which in time will be one of the south's great agricultural resources"
