The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-08-19

Finding station for men.
 "A new friendship between denomina- tions, fellowship in churches and unity of work in community.
 The personal Christ to each individual.
 with these as a foundation we will have the right appreciation of the church and Sunday school and individual ac- tivity."
 Mir. Wolford talked on each one of the nine factors for the modern Sunday school and church and closed with the hope that all would cooperate in the community spirit.
 After dinner Miss Shipp and Miss Grif- fin demonstrated to the women. The men were addressed by Commissioner of Agriculture Wade and w. H. Bachelor, county agent of Fillmore county.
 MT Wade talked of the general outlook for the farmers and stated he was glad to see them diversifying.
 This state is destined to become a live stock state,' said MT. Wade, and I'm glad of it. We have every facility to push it and the climatic conditions are first class. We have no severe win ters to dread and a green cover crop is always with us.
 This is one of the most flourishing communities in Jefferson county. It is of no use to dwell on the tick, as you have voted the right way and are rid ding the county of them. We now have 12 tick-free counties and 19 counties get ting right, making about half the state lined up for better cattle.
 T am glad to have the newspapers work with me and publish weekly let ters. My department of agriculture is CO., operating with all colleges, agents and institutes, and no friction is shown at any point
 "The weevil is marching across the state, leaving in Its wake ruined fields. I receive hundreds of letters asking ad- vice. My advice is to diversity, raise cattle, hogs and poultry Our state has been hit hard this year. but we must pull together and grow together"
 The last speaker of the day was w. H. Bachelor, county agent of Elmore.
 "Soil building by planting legume crops is my hobby" stated MT. Bachelor "Our main trouble is allowing the soil to de- preciate We must keep building it if we hope to make farm life bright to our boys. We must make money out Of the soil so as to help our children get what they want and keep them on the farm with us That is serious proposition keeping the boy away from the city. How can we do this if we have an old. down plantation and no convent ences in the home? The glare of the city lights is tempting and we must off set them by improving the farm condi- tions and moving along with the times.
 We certainly ought to hand our plantations over to the next generation in as good shape as we received them. Let's get busy along these lines.'
 Mir Bachelor is an enthusiastic farmer and has made a success in his chosen line. He stated crops were recovering to some extent over his section and he hoped conditions were not as serious as at first paintad.
