Prof. P. G. Holden, director of tho farm experts. returned to Birmingham yester- day, after having spent three days in north Alabama with the crews now con ducting the crop campaign, and stated that he had never seen better attendances at campaign meetings.
 +There is keen interest everywhere In the campaign" said Professor Holden. "The farmers of north Alabama attend the meetings in surprising numbers, and they show the best spirit of cooperation imaginable. They seem perfectly willing to learn the new ways and practice them. of the campaign"
 Monday the crews will work Madison and Colbert counties. while their general schedule for the rest of the week is given above. At the end of the present week they will practically have covered all of the counties north of Birming- ham. The following week the campaign will be carried on in the belt of territory between Birmingham and Montgomery, as north and south points, and from one side of the state to the other.
 Reports from the crews yesterday were to the effect that in Etowah county they found the first community yet discovered
 in the campaign which Is absolutely self supporting. It was in the neighborhood of Hoke's Bluff and 1t is stated that not a bit of canned goods shipped in from the north was to be found at the country stores or in the farm houses. Prof. ]. w. Beason of Meridian, whose father was once mayor of Gadsden. and member of the Alabama legislature. has joined the crop diverslfication forces, being one of Mississippi's bess known crop experts. Other workers in the campaign in north Alabama are William James of Mont gomery, an authority on farm manage ment and animal husbandry in the employ of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and F. A. Miller of Etowah, Tenn. an ex- pert on horticulture and entomology, also in the employ of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company.

Petitions to set aside an order of tho Alabama Medical society in ref erence to the revocation of a certificate to practice medicine in the state of Ala bama was filed In the city court yes- terday by Dr. r. L HaRler and the hearing of the merits of the case was set by Judge John IT. Miller for Feb ruary 20 in the courtroom of the third division of the court.
 The petitioner alleges that on March s7, 1891, he graduated from the Med ical College of Alabama and received therefrom certificate which was duly filed in the probate court. authorizing him to practice medicine in the state.
 He further states that on August s1. 1910, a trump" court was held ny Dr. W. II. Sanders as chairman of the board of medical examiners of the state of Alabama at which the qualifica- tions of the said pr. Hagler to prac- tice medicine were revoked and from which decision the petitioner. through his attorneys made an appeal to the circuit court He also contends that the appeal is stlll pending.
 He represents that on the 1tth day
 
 der was filed in the office of ]. r. Stiles, judge of probate of Jefferson county, as follows:
 Montgomery. December II. aa1i
 To Whom It May Concern--At meeting of the board of medical ex- aipiners held in Birmfffghah1 on Au- gust 31, 1910. 1t was ordered by the said board that the certificate of ouaI- ifications of Dr. F. L. Hagler to rrac- tice medicine in the state of Alabama be revoked and said certificate was revoked by order of the board.
 .'w. IL SANDERS, M D. Chairman of the Board of Medical
 Examiners"
 The petitioner. Dr. Hagler, contends that the above order Is null and void, having been made under sections 1887, 1888, 1889 of the code of Alabama hay ing reference to unprofessional con duct, which he contends is unconsti- tutional in that the board had no power to summon witnesses or swear the same, that 1t had no power to set the time or place of hearing of com plaints and that its rulings were with out authority of law.
 He concluded by praying that the court grant an order to Dr. Sanders to show cause why the ruling of the board of examiners should not be held null and void and to Judge Stiles re- quiring him to certify to the rulings of the court
 Judge John II. Miller granted l hear ing of the merits of the case ana set the date for February 20, at which time all the matters connected with the case will be gone into

GRANDMOTHER OF SAM FOLEY IS 135 YEARS OLD, HE SAYS

 lived in Shades valley for a great many years. Mir. Foley plans to have a birth day celebration, at his home in May, and mentioned yesterday that he intended to have Mrs. Brock present.
 Mrs Brock is 135 years of age said Mir Foley. ''She was born in 17s0, and re- tains her faculties remarkably well, l am to have a little afafir at my home in May. and l intend to bring her to that. Although I have not seen Mrs Brock for good many years, at the same time I hear from her occasionally. She is in good health and apparently enjoys life in her way. l will perhaps be com pelied to bring Mrs. Brock into the city in an automobile ambulance on account of her age and inflrmity but I believe she will be able to enjoy the party with the younger folks She lives in Shades valley and has lived there most of her life.''
