HOPES TO RETURN
THINKS BOIL WEEVIL
 IS GIVEN SETBACK

Huntsville. February 6.-(Special)-J. T.
 Watt, government farm demonstration agent for Alabama, is here attending the twenty annual session of the Ala bama Live Stock association. MT. Watt believes that the boil weevils invasion of this portion of the state has been set back by weather conditions of the last winter While he believed the extremely cold weather may have had something to do with it, it is his opinion that the mild, moist weather of mid-winter was most destructive to the ,weevil, because it caused the insect to come out of win ter quarters and search for food and, there being none, starvation was the re- suit. Another consideration, according to MT. Watt is the fact that the weevil,
 being a tropical insect, must become ac- climated to the severe cold winters of northern Alabama and this will require
 several years. Many experts, including MT. Watt, believe it will be at least five years hence before the northern tier of

REV. R. l.. DURANT
 ANSWERS ARTICLE
 BY DIR. EDMONDS
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 l do not wish to be presumptious, and am not seeking controversy but I would thank you for the privilege of saying few things anent the article in The Age-Herald of February over the signature of the Rev Henry M Ed monds.
 Dr. Edmonds rightly says: There is need of some clear thinking just now and perhaps for some political and religious readjusSments in connection with Cath olcs q suppose he means Roman Cath oles), and the Catholic church."
 I think l may say that the recent pa st in Jefferson county, as in Florida and other states should be sufficient evidence to show that there has been a great deal of clear thinking" the question he proposes, and there has also been more or less of political readjustment" in connection herewith.
 Brother Edmonds has fallen into the error so common among apologists for the Roman hierachy. His conclusions and opinions as set forth in hls article of yesterday seem to be based upon the assumption that the criticisms complained

for sheep. More mules and horses are being brought into the state than ever before.
 He spoke of the great future of the packing house industry in Alabama, but said so far there is only one It presents a great opportunity for the investment of capital at high profit he believes.
 There were about 80 visitors from over the state when the first session of the live stock association began. The ad- dress of welcome was delivered by Robert E. spragns of Huntsville and the re- ponse was made by G. A. Maloney of Mobile
 Vice President N. J. Bell reported on beef cattle and said it has shown great CT activity than ever during the last year, that there is not only more cat tie but better cattle.
 A paper prepared by Mrs. M. M. Burr on poultry was read, showing that hand some returns have been realized from that industry, although the price of grains has been abnormally high.
 Clarendon Davis of Huntsville reported on beef cattle conditions in the Tennessee Ndlley ana pfedlcted that thlS SectlOn will eventually be the center of beef pro- duction in the United States. He ex- pressed belief that this valley will be less hurt by the cotton boil weevil than any other section unless it be some parts of Texas. Cattle, he said, can be pro- duced cheaper in this section than any Where else, because of the capability of the soil to produce diversified crops and the cheapness of furnishing silage. Cal Miller of Auburn said the pastures in the Tennessee valley were just what is needed for beef production.
 D. D. Gibson of Scattsboro spoke on live stock raising in Jackson county; J. o. Lambert of Uriah, on using velvet beans in feeding hogs; J. s. Kernachan of Sheffield, on making hay for cattle feed- ing; M w. Hall of James. on the busi- ness handling of dairy herds, and H. c. Ferguson of Auburn, on the growth of the dairy business in Alabama.

WHY HE LIKES
 THE AGE-HERALD

TO the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Please allow me a little space in your valuable columns to hand you q few flowers while you are still Tn the land of the living. for l do not expect to be able to place any on your cas- ket when you are dead. The writer has for years been constant reader and admirer of your paper as first- class newspaper and enjoyed your strong editorials, at the same time dis agreeing with it in many ways. In fact so much so that at times refused even to buy or read following issue of it.
 But recently it has come out so clean and clear for the right things Gas see the right). especially since MT, Barnett went with you. that l now count it one of the best eff not the best) papers in the south. I do not know MT. Barnett personally, nor whether his connection with you has anything to do with this seeming change or not but I do know that The Age Herald is better by whole lot, and I assure you that am not the only one that thinks this way that has not told you so. It is in my ears nearly everywhere l go. The Human Fly" write-up of your even- ing contemporary's show was what call "big spirit" I know you are making new friends every day and write this because I feel 1t my duty as citizen to speak out when folks do right. Yours very respectfully H. A. MILNER. West End. 1912 Tuscaloosa ave. Feb ruary 6. 1917.
