FARMERS MUST HUMP
Gunderson Asks Them to
Put in Big Acreage Next
Season.

The following are the principal
points of the address that Dean
Russell gave before the Conven-
ton of Agricultural Agents in
Madison December Attn, 1919.
Dean Russell has served with
Hoover in the Food Administra-
ton at Washington for a year
and is very familiar with the
food question.
Peace will not add one pound of
food to the existing supply but will
continue to make drain on the same.
Before the war consumption of food
was rapidly catching up with produc-
ton. From 1899 to 1909 food pro-
duction increased 10 per cent but pop
ulation increased 81 per cent. War
has made these lines cross in Europe
so that this winter $50 Millions of
people there will be threatened with
starvation.
Production of food in Europe has
fallen off due to man shortage, loss of
fertilizers and destruction of machin-
ery. France averaged before the war
324 million bushels of wheat a year
In 1916 she produced only $50 million.
The deficit in Europe is not apt
to be met by importations from the
southern hemisphere on account of
ship shortage.
Before the war the U. S. supplied
10 per cent of the European food and
in 1918 over so per cent. 1t will be
| impossible to main tain conservation
of food in this country this year with
the war ended and therefore the pro-
duction must be greater.
In 1918 farm prices increased from
Is to 20 per cent over those of the
year before while wholesale prices de-
creased from to 10 per cent, so that
the farmer secured relatively larg-
er proportion of the consumers dollar
than before regulations were put in
force. Food prices Will remain high
as food is scarcer than labor. Europe
can replace grain shortage faster than
shortage in meat and dairy products.
Most of the European countries have
had their live stock reserves very
much reduced. Before the war Den
mark annually shipped to England
about 200 million pounds of butter.
England had to pay 81 20 a pound for
this butter during the war while but
ter sold in Denmark for 46 cents a
pound. England felt that she was
Disseminated against and will not
buy butter any more from Denmark.
The supply will probably have to
come from America. Denmark also
had to dispose of over 200, 900 head of
dairy cattle on account of lack of feed.
This year there is only SO per cent
as much butter in shortage as last
year, 43 per cent as much cheese and
sc per cent as much condensed milk.
The government recently comman-
deered 40 million pounds of butter for
the army, navy and the allies.
The amount of milk needed in
Europe next year will be much great
er than that used this year as much
of the population is suffering from
the want of it, 1t is not simply
beverage but FOOD and an indis-
pensible one at that.
The prospects for dairying during
the coming year are very good.

COLONEL HERBERT'S WILL
 IS MADE PUBLIC

Washington, March 15.-(Special.) ) The photographic will of Hillary A. Her bert, Secretary of the Navy under Grow CT Cleveland, and otherwise well known Alabamian. who died recently, was filed for probate yesterday with Registrar of Wills c. Tanner.
 The will was executed December 21, 1917. Mrs. Ella H. Micou a daughter. is made sole legatee, and appointed executrix without bond Provision is made for the completion of the educa- ton of Paul Micou, grandson.
 In making arrangements for his fu- neral Colonel Herbert wrote:
 T request that after simple funeral in St. Johns church, Montgomery, my body be laid beside that of my dear Wife, among the people who were al- ways good to me, and whom in turn I always sought sto serve faithfully and fearlessly."
 In making reference to S10.O00 lent in Montgomery, Colonel Herbert said that though this stood in his name as trustee, it would not pass under his will, as he had only a life's interest therein, and it would go to his daughter as the sole surviving heir of her mother
 The will was found by w. Clark Tav- Tor, deputy register of wills, in a vault of the American Security and Trust company, inclosed in an envelope bear ing the stamp of the Washington Con federate Monument association. of which organization Colonel Herbert was a member and leading spirit

NO PLACE IS NAMED FOR J. |. Y. REUNION SAYS GEN. BARTON
Statement That Savannah Gets Convention Is ErrOn- eous-Birmingham Can
 Get 1919 Meeting

Gen. ]. K Barton has written The Age Herald a letter in which he states that no decision has been reached with reference to selecting meeting place for the United Confederate Veterans for 1913. Birmingham can get the reunion if she wants it." says General Barton, and l hope the invitation will be extended soon."
 General Barton's letter follows;
 Birmingham, Ala, March 15, 1919. Editor Age-Herad:
 In your issue of March 13 you publish as a news item, "The Veterans reunion will be held in Savannah this year" and give one N. B. Forrest as authority for the selection of this city as the host for the veterans. This news item purports to be by authority of General Forrest of the Veterans association. There is no such man. It is well known fact to vet erans generally that this man Forrest, claiming to be a son of a veteran, has prior to this occasion endeaYored to in feet himself into reunion matters.
 The following letter explains itself:
 T will be glad if we can have Birming- ham for our host. The veterans recall with pleasure the cordial treatment re- ceiVed there in .rrmer reunions l hope the invita- tion Cfrom Birmingham will come early, as we cannot meet earlier than October am informed that Tam pa, Fla, will invite us, but I would prefer Birmingham it is more convenient for a majority of veterans. Urge your peo- pie to act at once.
 TX. NJ. VANZANDT,
 "Commander-in- Chief, T.. C. N
 Birmingham, Ala, March z, 1919.
 ITO Gen. j. K. Barton. The following telegram received this date also is f-explanatory:
 General VanVandt wires General Hooper that Forrest has no authority to name the place for the reunion. ID. M. SCOTT. "Adjutant General. Alabama Division,
 United Confederate Veterans.
 "To Gen. ]. K. Barton Birmingham, Ala
 letter received today from Colonel Scott says; Forrest has no authority to select or name the place for the re- union and he is purely and simply q lbutter-in. Also General Hooper favors
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-03-16

Fearing to encroach upon Colonel Her bert's time. l told him what had come for.
 We'll, he said. q will gladly give you any information you want, but you must understand that I am not to be advertised in what you write While 1t is terested in placing a monument to the southern people in the Arlington ceme- tery-the old Lee home-there are many others who should have just as much credit. So you must understand that I am not to be made too prominent in this matter, and with the agreement that all the other brave men and women who took part in getting up this monument are to have equal credit, whether dead or alive, I will tell you all I can
 This was the keynote to Colonel Her. bert's life-simple, democratic and unas- suming. Though he had fought bravely at the battle of the Wilderness, when the heavens themselves seemed fire of hell, and received many serious wounds, there and elsewhere. he would not ap- pear to place himself ahead one single other person in the crowning event of many southerners' lives-the placing of the Confederate monument in Arlington
 This act and the fact that he would not let the young South Carolinian become a war department clerk when he knew he could do better-eventually becoming a rear admiral in the navy-shows the sim plicity, the democracy and the inward kindness of this brave old southern hero.

ARTISTS DISPLEASED
 WITH DANIELS' CHOICE

Washington March 15.-tSpeciaI )-Jo- sephus Daniels, while at present on the bounding waves, is nonetheless the sub Ject of the sarcastic taunts of recog- nized artists and sculptors of the United States
 Sometime ago Mir. Daniels called on artists to furnish models for the. distin- gulshed service medal of the navy Twen- ity models were furnished. The secretary, turning down the work of men who had established themselves on high planes in the world of art, selected the model presented by a novelty house.
 .Fhe artists did not burst out with an- ger. They contented themselves with sarcastic references. They intimated that the result of the test in the hands of Daniels, could not have been otherwise. On the other hand, the novelty firm, en- gagged chiefly in manufacturing buttons to be worn in button holes of coat lapels is chortling with satisfaction
 Secretary Daniels took the criticism of the artists seriously. In order that he might get from under" he issued a statement that the selection was made by unanimous vote of all his advisers, including Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-03-16

Birmingham and is anxious to have that city for our hosts this year. Urge your people to send the invitation and it will be accepted. General Hooper is one of the committee named to make this selection"
 It will readily be seen from the fore going that the so-called General For rest neither had authority nor will he be recognized as with any right or au- thority in the matter.
 In the reunion in 1916 Birmingham made the greatest reputation with the veterans as a host, and they are uni versally anxious that Birmingham will again extend the invite ton to come here this year. The publication of the So-called news iteJ from the said For rest had the effect to neutralize the er- fort of the proper parties who had the matter in charge relative to the invi- tation. the impression being that the place had been decided upon, which is not true.
 The writer is in position to say to the good people of Birmingham that if they want the reunion this year they can get it. J. K. BARTON.
