Crenshaw County Busy

Sections of the south which produced surplus supply of food are reaping a rich harvest. Money is constantly com ing into such sections for food prod ucts and is being paid to the farmers
 and those same farmers are spending but little money for food. The contrary situation exists in sections which failed year and are relying entirely upon cot ton. Such sections are spending their cotton money at the present. time fo,
 food and feed: tney money is not conn ing in but is going out. f
 The town of Luverne, which is the county seat of Crenshaw county, in south central Alabama, is in a section which has been invaded by the boil weeyil, but the farmers are prosperous because they are paying a great deal of attention to food and feed crops and especially to live stock. The shipping records show that Luverne has shipped since October of last year 23 carloads of corn, 83 carloads of velvet beans 67 carloads of peanuts, 75 carloads of velvet bean meal, 25 car loads of hay, and 12S carloads of cattle and hogs. The cattle and hogs shipped from Luverne since January 1 have brought the farmers $3o0,0O0 in money which has been paid direct to them. Thers are six other good shipping points in the same county. Farmers generally in that territory are in a good financial con- dition and have plenty of meat. corn and other food and feed to carry then over until they make the crop of 1918.

Reduced Rates

The department of labor, after consult tation with the department of agricul- ture, has asked that the director general of the railroads grant half fares to agri- cultural workers mobilized for distribu- tion by the United States employment service, with the cooperation of the lat ter departments field force. Only through cheaper transportation, it is believed, can the farmers of the country be supplied with the maximum labor available for agriculture.
 There are thousands of former farm hands in the cities who are ready to return to their former calling. having been attracted by the increased wages offered by farmers With the supply of regular farm hands depleted, these men are urgently needed The greater part of them, however, it is believed, cannot be returned through the United States employment service unless tehy are given cheaper transportation. They can not afford, in most instances. to pay full fare while reduced rates would prove an additional inducement to those Who might be able to do so. Farmers will not. usually because they cannot, pay or advance the transportation for these potential workers.
