When were fireships first used?
In the sixteenth century. Among the
most formidable contrivances of this
kind ever used was a freship to de-
stroy the bridge of boats at the siege
Of Antwerp in 1856. The first use of
them in the British navy was in the
engagement with the Spanish Armada
July, 1888.
How and where did the expression
"pork barrel' originate?
The expression originated in congress

men. At one time farmers butchered
much pork and sailed it away in bar
rels. AS the winter advanced and
some farms ran out Of pork they were
invited by others to share their pork.
In this way the pork barrel was some
times abused by those who purposely
neglected to salt away enough. And
in any case the pork thus acquired
came easily. The congressman appar-
emily saw similarity between free
pork at home and the way in which
the United States treasury was raided
when the appropriation bills for rivers
and harbors and public buildings came
before congress.

Before the banquet Col. William C.
Dufour received the following tele-
gram from Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo:
My inability to attend the farm loan
board hearing at New Orleans today
and the banquet given in honor of the
board this evening gives me the
greatest disappointment. Pressure of
official matters here and other en-
gagements made it impossible for me
to accompany the farm loan board on
its present trip. | send you cordial
greetings and best wishes

established, as we hope they will be
in the early part of the coming year
will confer upon farmers of the country

production and encourage farm own
ership by making it possible for men
of small means to become owners in
stead of tenants of FARMS"

Farm Demonstration Work
to Be Continued on Same
System as at Present

onstration work that has been employed
in Alabama during the past year will be
used again during the next IL months I'M
der the action taken by the state board
OF agriculture today at it's annual meet
ing in the office of the commissioner Of
agriculture. The board was well pleased
with the results obtained by the meth
DDS of the last year, and decided, with
out a dissenting vote, to continue them
in effect. The principal feature is the
cooperation maintained with the United
States government, whereby the state
pays part of the compensation of a
county demonstration agent and the fed
era1 government the other part.
Under this system Alabamas counties
are divided into three classes according
to the number of cultivated acres they
contain. First-class counties are allotted
SIS per month for the demonstration
agent; second-class s62. 50, and third
class, $50 OF course. the board reserves
the right TO distribute this sum in a
county so that it will effect the most
good The Alabama law appropriateS
SIS 900 annually for farm demonstration
purposes. and this fund is handled under
the guidance of the state agricultural
board.
