Soil Analysis Being Made

A soil acidity survey Is now being made in the northern part of the state by J. T. Williamson and M. J. Funchess of Auburn. This work Is being done by the local experiment department of the Ala bama experiment station. This survey is eventually to be made in all counties of the state. but at present only IA coun- ties in the northern part of the state are being surveyed. This part of the state is the first to be surveyed for the reason that it is the section that lime stone is more prevalent and can be more easily had by the farmers.
 This work began on Monday, Deeem- Der g. in Lauderdale county, and the following H counties will be surveyed at an early date: Lauderdaie. Colbert. Lawrence, Morgan, Limestone, Madison, Jackson, DeKalb, Cherokee, Etowah, Blount. Cullman. St Clair and Jeffer- son. The survey will be continued until every county of the state is covered provided the funds are available sam pies are being taken of the different soil types in each county These will be sent back to Auburn for laboratory analysis.
 Within a few days from the time this survey is completed in north Alabama the local experiment department of the Ala bama experiment station will be in a position to tell the farmers of the coun- ties named about how much lime will be required to sweeten the soil of any type in this territory. In other words, the analyses will be both qualitative and quantitative, because the tests will be carried far enough to tell just how sour soil is and how much lime will be needed to neutralize the acid in it.

BAMA RANKING WELL UP NOW IN STOCK RAISING
LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY BOOMING

There are extensive areas in Flori- da. not now being used, which would graze a large number of cattle, the extension specialists say. though ,he farmers are fast awakening to the possibilities of the live stock indus. sry. It is reported that the holdings ot one company alone would carry 20, oe0 head if completely utilized
 Reports from Georgia say that pas lures are good and feed is plentiful, particularly velvet beans. and that ua- doubtedly shere will be a large num-
 Der of cattle fed in that state this year. The specialists are continually being called upon to locate feeder cattle for farmers in both Georgia and Florida, and several large shipments have al
 ready been made from the southwest and other sections. If is estimated
 that 100 carloads will be brought into Geoi gia alone from Texas this fall.
 Feeding demonstrations are being
 arranged on 12 to l5 farms in differ
 ent sections of Mississippi and plans
 have been made to conduct them
 through the cooperation of county and district agents. Special attention
 will be given to demonstrations in
 pasturing velvet beans, and velvet
 beans and corn.
 Orders have been placed for more than 50 carloads of breeding stock to be shipped from the southwest to North Carolina, and the total number purchased will undoubtedly far exceed this number There is alo much in- terest in the purchasing of pure-bred bulls and extension specialists are planning to hold several consignment sales in the state in an effort to met the demand As a means of further stimulating the beef cattle industry a campaign is being conducted for the building of silos and improving the pastures in the state.
 In South Carolina also the demand
 for pure bred stock as well as steers
 for fall and winter feeding far exceeds the available supply. In a number of farmers, accompanied by specialists,
 chase breeding stock. At recent
 disbursement sale of 24 head of pure
 bred cattle 21 of the animals remained in the state the farmers being anx- ious to retain them to build up their herds.
 Arrangements were made by Ten nessee stockmen with the Union Stock yards company in Nashville for hold ing the annual sale of the Middle Ten nessee Breeders association at the yards The company provided stall space for the cattle, a sale ring, and in other ways helped make the sale a success. The farmers of the state
 are much interested in pasture i'm provment and the keeping of live stock

Tribute to the Farmer

Perhaps no branch of the public serv- ice is in position to recognize so prompt ly and appreciate so fully as the bureau of crop estimates what has been accom- plished by the farmers of the United States since the breaking out of the world war, says the annual report of that bureau. From the reports of it's thou sands of voluntary crop reporters and its field agents who travel over each state and report weekly and monthly their ob
 servations, the bureau is in constant touch with the progress of crop produce ton from month to month and year to year It has seen the supply of farm abor steadily decrease from heavy drafts made upon it by other industries. es- pecially since the beginning of the war and it has noted the decrease in the sup ply of commercial fetillzers.. It has noted. also, the steady rise in farm wages, and in prices of farm machinery and everything else that farmers have to buy With an unbounded faith in the patri- otism and determination of farmers to do their utmost to help win the war by maintaining the production of food and raw materials. it nevertheless has mar veled that the farmers of the United States apparently have accomplished the impossible by continuing to plant larg- CT areas and harvest larger crops in the aggregate with each year of the war In spite of the difficulties of securing farm labor, supplies, machinery and other necessary articles.
 "The planting and cultivating of 32,- 0O0,O00 acres more in 1917 than in 1914 by the farmers Of this country is com parable with anything that has been accomplished by any other industry. This production of food crops on an enlarged scale at greatly increased expense of time. effort and lahor and by fewer men, steadily and without publicity O. the inspiration that comes from larss hodnes of men working together, has done as much to insure the winning of the war against the military despotism of Europe as any other one factor"

Marketing Corn-Fed Hogs

In a conference of live stock commss- sion men, buyers for packing houses. and two representatives of the Alabama ex tension service, at East St. Louis. No vember 30, an agreement was effected which will he advantageous to Alabama farmers having strictly corn fed hogs for sale on the East St Louis market
 Recognizing the county agent as re- liable representative Of the farmer, the packers buyers agree to purchase hogs on the guarantee of hardness by the county agent The buyers urge the i'm portance of using extreme care. in seno ing hogs to the central market under guarantee when there is any doubt what soever as to whether they have been fed any peanuts at any time In theil lives. careful check is made on each shipment, and if car is guaranteed to be corr fed and soft carcasses are found when the animals are killed. the county agent fcom which the shipment came will be blacklisted as far as future ship ments are concerned, and the guarantee will be of no value.
 County agents making co-operatiye shipments can secure the advantage os the best prices by instructing the com mission firm handling the guarantees shipments to sell the animals as corn fec
 A cooperative shipment of hogs from the Demopolis section topped the St Louis market Monday. December 2 a, SIS per 100 pounds for the prime hogs These hogs were well finished and ha.' never been fed peanuts. They were sola along with western hogs and for a. good price as any on the market.
 By carefully observing the agreemen, and never allowing suspicious hogs to, be shipped along with strictly corn-fed ani. mals, hogs from sections of Alabama where no peanuts are fed. can be sold without discount or penalty.
