Farm Activity in Alabama

The agricultural wakening in Ala pama, said L. D. Fuller, agricul- tural field agent of the Southern rail- way, with headquarters at Tuscumbia,
 IS attracting attention all over the country; naturally I would be more familiar with the activities of the great Tennessee valley, but on a re- cent trip to Montgomery it was my pleasure to visit @ large creamery re- gently completed and put into oper- alton in that city. Dairying is being looked into, and while our people are urged to investigate this necessary rarm activity, the dairy is no place Tor the novice. and my advice to the beginner is to make haste slowly.
 By the way said MT. Fuller, q want to express my appreciation Of the work The Weekly Age-Herald is doing along agricultural lines. From what I have seen of the paper, it Is working in the right direction when it pays attention to the small farmer, the fellow who needs advice as to better farming, and gives this advice in understandable English"

 Montevallo Advertiser: Times are pretty hard in this section of Alabama. but the crop of candidates is green and flourish ing. Many folks who eat bread by sweat ing for it think some of our officials ought to serve the people at smaller sal aries, but when one of these chaps takes a notion to run for office we hear no suggestion from him as to the propriety of reducing the salary of the office If the people don't make them work for less they won't.

FnIIacious Weather Theories

|
 1 Chief c. F. Marvin of the United States weather bureau has exploded
 the new theory for forecasting wealth 1 CT by the suns spots," said E. c. Hor- ton, local government forecaster, last night. q have just received a com munication from Mr. Marvin's office in which he says:
 Throughout it's history the wealth CT bureau has been called upon from time to time to caution the general public against the too credulous belief in alleged new systems for forecastins the weather for weeks or months in advance, or in schemes for the arti- ficial production of rain, the preven- tion of hail, and other proposals to control or modify atmospheric phenom- ena or to forecast them long time in advance. Pretensions of this character meet with a certain credence because there are number of people who still cling to the ancient belief in the in-
 fluence of the moon on the growth and development of crops, and to the idea that the weather conditions depend
 upon planetary and astrological con- binations.
 "The latest misrepresentation or this character now being presented to the people of the country in the col umns of the daily press is an alleged new system of longrange weather forecasting said to be based on the rifts and spottedness of the sun and ist shafts of solar radiation.
 "During the past several years the weather bureau has received, in the form of letters, circulars, diagrams and blue prints, full specifications concerning all essential details of this alleged new system of forecasting. The so- called discovery is fully known to the weather bureau and has received fair and impartial study and examina- tion by it's scientific staff. Moreover. other scientists of international repu- tation now connected with the strong est institutions in the world engaged in astronomical research and conduct ing investigations in solar and terres- trial physics have also passed upon these new theories. These authorities are in accord that the deductions and conclusions drawn from the solar con- ditions on which the new system is based are unwarranted. Solar phenom- ena of the kind described do not have any direct influence upon the weather at any particular time and place, and therefore cannot be made the basis or weather forecasting.
