The chief buyer Of hogs for Armour

days ago that he expects to buy hogs
this winter for bic firm at Sl2 per hun

Gus situation in the hog market. First.
because hogs cannot be raised and fat

Cow Testing

Tennessee has six COW testing asso-
Citations to demonstrate whether or net
boarder cows are being kept. There
are few regions where Improbable
cows cannot be weeded out. If there
are not enough cows in the county TO
form a cow-testiug association, a sys-
tenn of private herd records will be
found very profitable. The number
of dairy cows in Tennessee is about
400, 900 and they produce an average of
less than 200 pounds of butter fat per
year. Where individual production
records have been kept many unprof-
table cows have been found. In fact
a cow that will not produce more than
200 pounds of butter fat in year, will
not be sufficiently profitable to justify
being kept in the herd. If the average
production, therefore is almost below
profitable basis there are undoubtedly
large number of improbable cows
being kept at considerable loss. Then
encourage the organization Of cow
testing associations, or the keeping of
private herd records.

NO MARKET IN JAPAN
FOR AMERICAN IRON
Jap Representative Here
Tells of Competition in
Iron Market

Kimma Fukushama, representative of
in Birmingham for few days on bust
ness. Under present conditions, he can
not see much prospects of American iron
going to Japan on account of the price of
that metal.
English iron is quoted at $50 per ton
In Japan and American al $S5 per ton
he stated to an Age-Herald representa-
tive at the Tutwiler last night. Before
the war, we got our iron from England,
but when the war came On the supply was
shut off and we arranged to get some
from the United States. And as soon as
the war ended, English agents returned
to Japan, and on account of the great diff
ference in prices, they are getting the
trade again.
You have a great country here, and
with your raw material and your manu-
facturies, it is bound to be still greater.
1t is thus in Japan. We are dependen.
for most of our raw material on other
countries. We get cotton from America,
India and China and iron from Eng
land and America. We have some natu-
raj iron, but the government uses all
Of that"
Mr. Fukushama was an interested spec
tator at the wrestling match at the ath"
letic club last night Today he will visit
the steel mill and other plants at Ensley
and Fairfield. He stated last night TINS
was his first visit to Birmingham. He
was deeply impressed with the city ana
the possibilities for her future.
