Profitable Results of
 Crop Diversification

A LABAMA leads all the cotton |6A states in crop diversification and the results have proved highly satisfactory.
 Instead of planting for million and a half-bale crop only seven or eight hundred thousand bales are att tempted. Owing to the excessive rains in May the production this year will probably not be more than five or six hundred thousand bales. In the place of a bumper cotton crop the corn, wheat, oats and hay crops are in creased, and more live stock, especial |ly hogs and cattle, are grown.
 The minor crops have become more important and all told the farmers have added materially to their wealth. This being a poor cotton year, Ala bama would be in bad condition if the old one-crop system had continued to prevail. As it is this will be a fairly prosperous season, even if the flood and feedstuff crops are short as compared with 1918. The yield of corn promises to be larger than the average before the diversification movement was started, notwithstand- ing the fact that the crop was injured
 by the rain.
 Alabama is now noted for its pro-
 gressive farming. The fields are cul-
 tivated more intensively, and more att ltention is given to live stock breeding
 than in other years. Wonderful strides have been made in the raising iof hogs, and in the grazing sections las fine cattle are being grown as are

wake of bolshevism. Conditions in Budapest are duplicated in Petrograd and Moscow. Wherever the deluded bolsheviki put their subversive doc trines into practice, law and order first become a mockery, and then the gaunt specters of want, disease and death step in to complete human wretchedness. The bolsheviki promise much and accomplish nothing. They tear down, but do not rebuild. Their creed spells world madness and world despair.
 Yet, the bolshevism menaces on America. Can any citizen in his right mind further a cause which is so con- trary to reason and justice as it has been recognized from time immemo- rial? It seems incredible, but there are thousands of bolsheviki in the United States. Not all of them are hairy and unwashed, by any means. They are in colleges and universities, they are found among the so-called intellectuals and in all walks of life the seeds of unrest have been sown. Point to the horrors of soviet gov ernment, or misgovernment, in Eu- rope and they will reply that the facts have been distorted, that the stories told are not true. The burden of proof is on the followers of Lenine and Trotzky, and Bella Kun

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

A hog can stand pat on pedigree. But a man has to have more than that if he wants to make good.
 Some of the graduates will go to High School and forget all that they learned in Grammar school. And some of them will go to College and forget all that they learned in high school. And some of them will go to Work and forget all that they learned in College.
 The reason why a thrifty man al- ways gets by is because the ernergen- cies that we are prepared for are the ones that never turn up.
 You are always whining that you might be better off. But did you ever realize that you might be whole lot worse off?

Preparing for Taking
 the 1920 Census

.WHILE the population of the
 w United States will not be enumerated until April of next year the census bureau is busy preparing for the work. The census supervisors will be appointed this month and then will follow the selection of the emu merators
 On the recommendation of Senator Underwood, Director Samuel L.. Rogers will name George M. Cruik- shank supervisor for this census dis trict.
 The names of the supervisors are not sent to the Senate for confirma- tion, the census director having the sole right to appoint.
 MT. Cruikshank will have about fifteen hundred enumerators under him, and he will have full authority to select them. Large political patronage! But the public may be sure that competent men will be chosen.
 In the census of 1910 Birmingham was credited with 132, 1885 inhabitants. R. B. Smyer, now posmaster, was census supervisor then. If all the people living within the city limits were not counted it was not because of any fault in the system or because the enumerators were lax in their du- l ties, but because keepers of rooming houses failed in many cases to give in the names of all their roomers.
 Everybody here connected with the census bureau tried to give the city fair deal and as it turned out, our population as reported was several thousand more than had been claimed | by the Chamber of Commerce.
 A special effort should be made in 1920 to impress upon all householders and rooming house proprietors the inn portance of complete enumeration. | By next April Birmingham win probably have not less than 250, ,O0C souls. If it continues to grow at the rate it appears to be growing now it need be no surprise if the popula- tion is considerably above the 250, ,0Oo mark.

Nevin O. Winters, in Leslie's.
 ~ ONE tell me that 100000 people N were driven from their homes by I the Russian commander. This Is doubtless an exaggeration, but the num- bers certainly reached 6,o00,000. Consider the entire population of Ohio or Illinois being compelled, upon couple of days, to evacuate their homes. Before they had passed below the horizon the clouds of smoke informed them of what they dreaded to ask. Populous cities, such as Brest-Litovsk, the place of the famous treaty, were almsot wholly laid waste by the conflagrations started by the Rus sians What railway facilities inadequate for even military needs, these poor hu- man beings were compelled to proceed on foot in advance of the swiftly retreat failed miserably to supply the urgent needs of the vast army under the Grand Duke the people thus driven from home were compelled to supply their own sub- sistence. They started on the terrible trip with their few household goods piled up- on small wagons. Some started with COW or steer or two, but these were soon sacrificed to the necessity of food or the requisition of the army.
 In the race track at Kiev 10000 expat riated peasants were camped for four days without food. And yet the races were run each day and thousands of rubles exchanged hands from loser to winner The human distress so near d.mnaned in m degree the enthusia sm

travellers who have been to Fez; but they have gone on special mlsslons' under escort, mysteriously, perhaps per ilously the expedition has seemed, till lately, a considerable affair. And when one opens the records of Moroccan trav- years, how many, even of the most ad- venturous, are found to have gone be- yond Fez? And what, to this day, do the names of Meknez and Marrakech. of Mogador, Saffi or Rabat, signify to any but few students of political history, a few explorers and natural ists?
 Not till within the last year has Mo- rocco been open to travel from Tangier to the Great Atlas, and from Moulay Idriss to the Atlantic Three years ago Christians were being massacred in the streets of Sale, the pirate town across the river from Babat, and two years ago no European had been al- lowed to enter the sacred city of Moulay Idriss, the burial place of the lawful descendants of Ali, founder of the Idris- site dynasty. Now, thanks to the energy and the imagination of one of the greatest of colonial administrators. tnE country at least in the French zones is as safe and open as the opposite shore of Spain.

 The next move in improved farm machinery must be in the introduc- tion of tractor blows on large scale. Tractors are already in use in limited numbers, but by the coming fall the tractor should be the rule in Alabama instead of the exception.

LAND WITHOUT GUIDE-BOOK

From "In Morocco" by Edith Whar- ton, in the July Scribner.
 :" o step on board a steamer in
 Spanish port, and three hours X later land in a country with out a guide book, is sensation to rouse the hunger of the replete sightseer.
 The sensation is attainable by any one who will take the trouble to row out into the harbor of Algeciras and scramble onto little black boat headed across the straits. Hardly has the rock of Gibraltar turned to cloud when ones foot is on the soil of an almost un- known Africa. Tangier, indeed, is in the guide-books; but, cuckoo-like, it has had to lay its egg in strange nests, and the traveller who wants to find out about it must acquire word dealing with some other country-Spain or Por- tugal or Algeria There is no guide book to Morocco, and no way of know ing. once one has left Tangier behind, where the long trail over the Riff is going to land one, in the sense under stood hy any one accustomed to Euro pean certainties. The air of the un- foreseen blows on one from the roadless passes of the Atlas.
 This feeling of adventure is heighten- ed by the contrast between Tangier- cosmopolitan, frowsy. familiar Tangier, that every tourist has visited for the last forty years-and the vast unknown just beyond. One has met of course,

1QlUDAPEST, once city of laugh ~ ter and song, rival of Vienna, Paris and Berlin, among the gayest capitals of Europe, is now ''city of death" The Milan correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph wires his paper, 'In dispatch to the Corriere della Sera from Budapest, Signor Franccaroli draws gloomy picture ef the results of three months Com munist rule in Hungary"
 "'Budapest is no longer a metro polls of life, but city of death. It reminds one of vast, desolate ceme- tery. All the shops are closed. Some the government, but it is empted.

Promotion of Pershing
 Opposed by Baker

SECRETARY BAKER seems to g have knack for getting himself into embarrassing positions. A dis patch from Paris states that he is op- posing the appointment of General Pershing to be chief of staff. Perhaps MT. Baker is unwilling to replace man of such conspicuous ability and such large achievements as General March, but under army regulations any other position would make Gen eral Pershing a subordinate.
 To the American people General Pershing is the foremost hero of the war. He typifies the American soldier abroad and his exploits in battle. However distinguished the services of men like General March, General Crowder and others who "fought at home," and no one should attempt to lWudb tASy oiQ lOA tifCli country, yet the glamor of war, of heroic achievement, rests on General Pershing.

 1~Friends of General Pershing say he win resign if opposition to his ap- potntment continues Surely, that will not be necessary.
