PEELED to accommodate the overflow OF
boys who for the year 1916-1S17 have
decided to attend Birmingham college.
Last week students began to arrive
and the campus awoke from its usual
summer quietness to a shaking of hands,
a renewal of friendships, and rows Of

ORDER FOR RELEASE
OF AMBROSIA TO BE
FILED WITH SHERIFF
Next Move by Solicitor Hugo L. Black
Is Watched With Interest-Injunc-
ton Said to Be Waiting

1t is anticipated that Circuit Court
Clerk William J. Waldrop will file the
order of release of Judge e. c. Crow in
the ambrosia case with Sheriff Thomas
J. Batson this morning.
At the present time Sheriff Batson is
still in possession of 70 barrels of am
brosia seized by Deputy Sheriff Con-
rad w. Austin several months ago. Last
Tuesday at hearing before Judge
Grow, this beverage was ordered re-
leased for want of prosecution and re-
turned to the Louisville and Nashville
railroad in whose yards the ambrosia
was seized
The only interest in the return Of
ambrosia lies in watching for the next
move of Solicitor Hugo L. Black, who
it is expected will Immediately seize
the disputed beverage the moment it
leaves the jurisdiction of the sheriff.
Solicitor Black also has an Injunction
ready to file to prevent the sale of am
brosia.

FARMERS OF ALABAMA
MUST BE EDUCATED TO
GRADE THEIR PRODUCTS
Cannot Compete With Northern States Until Proper and Eff
ficient Methods of Marketing Are Learned States F. L.
Wade-Morris Avenue Brokers Have No Choice Under
Present Conditions-Cannot Depend on Farmer

the system is quite inadequate, but with
the Farmers union getting stronger every
day and with progressive officers in con-
troll there is no question but that with
in few years the farmers of Alabama
will be as much advanced in truck farm
ing and marketing as the farmers of
the northern states. At the present time
the brokers on Morris avenue do not buy
from other states from choice, but be-
cause they cannot help themselves. as
they cannot depend upon the Alabama
farmer.
Il handle everything for the Ala
bama farmer in my place. I also sell
them everything that they want in
their farming, but despite our friend
ly and amicable relations I always
preach to them the efficiency and the
economy of preparing their products
for the market. There must be stan
dard packages and cartons and vari-
GUS gradings all correct and only by
adopting such a system consistently
for months can the confidence of the
commission merchants be regained.
SMALL CANNERIES
another thing is that the farmers
should have small canneries in con-
nection with their farms. Now, lots of
times the market is low on apples,
beans. and other products, and instead
of selling at loss or allowing things
to spoil. the farmer should be able
to place his stuff in cans and then to
wait for a good price. If the farmer
can't wait he can always borrow on
his canned products enough to carry
him over until he can sell at fair
price.
"All of these matters must be taught
the farmer and then cooperation must
be emphasized. And when all the farm
ers get together and market their stuff
in an economical manner and there is
also a reciprocal arrangement with the
labor unions of the city for the pur-
chase Of the farm products at cash
prices the market will then be in the
control OF the Farmers union of the
state.
Until that time the consumer to get
good prices and good stuff must get
acquainted with some farmer down
the road bit and do business by par
eel post and the farmer must get ac-
quainted with some live customers in
the city and also do business by par
eel post. However, while the parcel
post will serve hundreds of people 1t
is not the highest stage of Develop
ment for the farmer and he will not
get his place in the sun until he be-
comes better farmer and better
salesman"

That the farmers of Alabama need to
be educated to prepare their products for
the market before they can hope to COM
pete on fair basis with the truck grow
ers Of northern states. Is the opinion OF
F. l.. Wade of Wade Bros, on Morris
avenue, the local distributing agency Of
the Farmers union.
Mr.. Wade is very much impressed with
the possibilities of the parcel post as the
medium to reach the farmer who 10 away
from the railroad, and who lives over
100 miles away, and he is an enthusiastic
supporter Of the methods of Assistant
Postmaster Edward l.. Norman, in seek
ing to get the farmers and the ultimate
consumer together on a fair and equal
basis.
1t was also stated on Saturday that the
markets on the Southside, where farmers
produce is Sold that the prices are just
as high as in the regular retail stores.
'Of course, some farmers come in TO
town with their produce to sell it direct
to the consumers" said Mr.. Wade yes
terday but they are familiar with the
market prices and the housewives obtain
no material benefit from buying from
them than they would from the regular
retail markets. The regular retail mar
kets of the city offer credit and will bring
the goods to the homes by rapid denv-
cries, while to buy farm produce from
the farmers or hucksters direct, the house,
wives must walk to Five Points and then
secure produce at the same prices that
they would get downtown. The farmers
near Birmingham are familiar with trade
methods and they get the maximum
prices for their products. 1t is the fellow
way out of the beaten path that must
be helped.
MUST GRADE PRODUCTS
1.-THE farmers throughout Alabama must
be educated to grade his products in an
up-to-date and efficient manner. For
instance I buy everything that the farm
ers of Alabama send me- but it is not al
ways good stuff nor what they claim it
is 1 can telegraph to Virginia for a
carload of potatoes, grade No. !, and
do not worry because know just what
/ will get In this state it Is quite diff
ferent. In the first place, do not know
where I can order carload of potatoes,
except by picking up bushel here and
there, and these are not graded. With
all kinds of produce it is the same.
THAT is what is needed more than
anything else to help the farmer, as we'll
as to get him market for his products
and this to educate him to prepare his
stuff for the brokers. At the present time
