Age at First Calf and Milk Yield.

Age at FIRST Calf ana MIX 1leld.
About 80 months was found to be
the best age for Ayrshire heifers to
drop their first calf, according to an
experiment carried on at the Mary
land Agricultural College. If the
calves were dropped 6 months earlier,
the milk flow was lessened consider
ably, but if dropped 6 months later
the decrease was slight. This will
vary for the breeds according to size;
the smaller the breed type, the short
er the time Eckles of Minnesota
found that the variation would be 3
to 5 months which would bring the
minimum age for Jerseys and Guern-
seys about 25 months and for Hol-
stems, 80 months. This is for well de-
veloped animals.-Extension Div, N.

ON VISIT TO CITY
President of the Interstate
Amusement Co. on Trip

Among the Prominent visitors to the

local manager, Mr.. Croshie.
Mr.. Hoblitzele expressed himself as be-

Birmingham and remarked upon the ex-
traordinary growth and improvement Of
the city since his last visit here several
years ago.
During the war" Mr. Hoblitzelle said,
Il was engaged in Red Cross work in
Washington-the most interesting work
have ever done.
The organization was wonderful he
continued, 'ani my work a great pleas
ure to me because it was hospital work.
and I felt that l was really being of
service to my country and to my fellow
men.
Associated with me was DR. Fretwell
who IS well known throughout the east"
Mr.. Hohlitzelle said. I should like to have
stayed in the service. but of course con-
dftions were such that made my return
to commercial life necessary.
I'm The mean time, although have been
out of war work since last April" Mr..
Hoblitzelle said cit has been rather diff
cult to get in touch with the every day
workaday world. However, my organ MIA
ton was so efficient that the business
went on just the same as when was at
headquarters in Chicago and I am slowly
regaining my equilibrium.
Everything looks fine in Birmingham
I appreciate sincerely the generous pa
tronAge given the Lyric and we always
endeavor to make our entertainments
worth while-and a pleasure to our large
clientele

CITY STREETS HAVE

Commissioner Burruss Says
Only Hope for Relief Will
Come From Adoption of

Streets in Birmingham have
been depreciating heavily for
four years and unless the con-

adopted at the polls December
20, no extensive programme of
construction is possible, accord
ing to statement given out
yesterday by Henry Page Bur-
russ, commissioner of public
improvements.
There are immediate and necessary de-
mands for street Improvements entailing
a cost of at least $780, 900. with only $780,
sioner pointed out
Not only this, but Commissioner Bur
russ ran over his budget by $4,000 last
month.
Street improvement ponds are urged
as remedy by the commissioner. who
declared the time has arrived when we
must enter upon dlSJlncLiy CONSTRUCTIVE
street policy in this city"
NEED STREET CONSCIENCE"
When the people here develop a street
conscience and strong public senti-
ment for a broad policy of street build
ing. then we shall be able to put Biz
mingham alongside the other progressive
cities in public improvements he added.
The statement of Commissioner Bur-
russ covering the street building and
other municipal and financial problems
is given below;
"I sincerely hope the amendment to
the constitution of Alabama now pend
ing before the people of the state in an
election to be held on December 20, 1919,
may pass by favorable vote of the peo-
pie. This amendment involves financial

fled may be taken care of and suffi-
ciently provided for. Municipal functions
are now growing and progressive fnstitu-
tons in all cities. The statistics of the
cities of the United States establish the
fact that the cost OF municipal service
has doubled in the last Il wears by the
doing of things by the city that were
formerly done by private citizens as
matter of course.
CITY'S EXPENSES INCREASE
People could not now live and pre-
serve their lives in the contested popu-
lations of the cities OF the country
under former conditions of municipal
service. More extended and multiplied
lines of municipal service have become
necessary and the expenses of the cities
of the country have been Immensely in
creased from that fact. This has re-
ouired more money for the public serv-
ice The higher prices, resulting RON
the war, have added immensely to the
embarrassment and the acuteness OF the
financial situation. The cost of labor,
material. machines, mules and all lines
of municipal service has been greatly
increased. The seriousness and acute
ness of the municipal problem is hard
to realize, except by those who are
charged with the responsibility OF pro-
viding for it. II is absolutely neces-
