Every merchant in the city has made special preparations for the cam paign. Prices have been shaved as closely as good business would permit, and values such as never before faced Birmingham before Easter are offered today.
 The object of the Spring Dress-Up campaign is to teach the psychological effect of being well dressed, it being the belief of the advertising writers of Birmingham that a well dressed man is

A Silo is one Of the most essential
things on the farm. You may think
you can't afford a silo but you can't
afford to be without one. A silO should
be a part of the permanent improve
ments on every farm. There is no
doubt as to it's advantages. 1t is es-
Sential for the economical feeding of
live stock, and especially for the profit
able production of beef and milk. The
results of hundreds of feeding expert
ments conducted in the past ten years
with silage as part of the ration give
proof of its great vulue to the farmer.
A great many O4 our old methods are
wasteful. There will always be more
or less of the corn crop shocked in the
field. but corn left exposed to the
weather loses fl ON % to 80 per cent
of its feeding value. Why waste the
crop after you have grown it, when you
can put it in silO and preserve it with
all its Succulence?
The SilO combines more good things.
pointing to greater profits, than any
other building on the farm.
There is very little loss in feeding
sllage. When you feed the fodder 10
the cattle, there is great deal of loss.
Cattle refuse to eat the stalks ard
they are wasted.
The acids and the juices in the ST.
lage aid digestion and help the stock
utilize other feeds such as oat straw
and other cheap rOughage. One of the
good things about the silO is that any
of the forage crops properly sliced
make good feed; but corn is the best
crop for the silO. The silo is usually
filled at the slack season of the year
in building SilO the essential point
is to have it alright. T. E. Woodward

AID COTTON GROWERS
Great Economic Importance of
Grading Sroduct.
United States Department Of AgricuI-
ture Loans Sets of Official Stand
ards to County Agents for
Use Of Planters

prepared by the Urited States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
An effort to bring the great ecOnO-
mic Importance of cotton grading to
the attention of growers of the fiber,
and to make it possible for them to IA
miliarize themselves with grading pro-
cedure, is being made by the office of
markets and rural organization of
the u. S. departm ant of agriculture
through the placing of sets of practi-
cal forms of the official cotton stand
ards of the United States in the hands
of county agents in the cotton produc-
ing regions. Heretofore, sets of the
cotton standards have been furnished
chiefly to cotton exchanges where they
are used in the larger marketing opera
tons. The use of the standards in in
dividual marketing by farmers is of
marked economic advantage, however,
and the present step is being taken
by the department in the hope of ex-
tending this practice. To secure the
forms, county agents must give salts
factory assurances that they will keep
the sets in place accessible to cotton
growers, in the care of q competent
custodian who does not profit directly
from trading in cotton.
More than sixty sets of the practical
forms of the standards already have
been shipped to county agents. 1t is
expected that more than 100 will soon
be placed in this way. Each set of the
practical forms consists of the nine
grades of white cotton. The sets re-
main the property of the United States
government.
In arranging for the keeping of the
standards in the counties the office of
markets and rural organization has
approved such agencies as banks,
chambers of commerce, boards of
trade, stores whose proprietors do no
trade in cotton, etc.
The official cotton standards of the
United States are used by practically
every important spot market and ex-
change in the South, and it is the de-
sire of the cotton specialists of the
department. Of agriculture that the
