Agriculture and Marketing at Clanton
yesterday on the value of cooperative
marketing as applied to creamery pro-
ducts, an invitation was extended the
committee to return in two weeks and

posed to have the milk brought into Clan
ton by parcel post on rural routes ana
shipped here by fast train. This is the
first of many similar cooperative ship
ment associations which will be organ
lied by the committee with view to CIV
ing an adequate supply of milk anc
utilizing Alabama products.
Demonstration of the value of co-opera-
tive shipments were also made by the
at Thorsby and Jemison, Ala.

Hay, Jr.

nesday at 10 o'clock
When the revenue bill reached the
house Representative Lynne of Morgan
moved that the house now concur in
the amendment and ask for confer
ence committee.
Representative Long of Butler moved
as a substitute that the house now
concur and non-confer. Considerable
opposition to hurrying the bill to con-
ference developed before the house
knew what the amendments inserted
by the senate were.
The Lynne motion prevailed, how
ever. and the speaker appointed Rep
resentatives Lynne of Morgan, Muir
phree of Etowah and Benners of JEFF
ferson on the committee.
Notified of the action of the house,
the senate insisted on it's amendments
and assented to the appointment of a
conference committee, the president
appointing on the committee Senators
Butler of Madison, Leith of Walker
and Griffith of Cullman.
1t had been intended that the com
mittee should begin it's conference to-
morrow. but Senator Griffith is i'll and
left for his home tonight Senator
Leith also has gone home, leaving only
Senator Butler of the senate members
of the committee here. 1t is not likely,
therefore, that thescommittee will meet
before Monday, if then.
Following the appointment of the
committee, the senate passed a num-
Der of local bills and at 7:40 o'clock
adjourned until 10 o'clock next Wed

MOVES CONTINUOUS SESSION

Immediately after roll call of the
senate in committee of the whole this
morning at 1880 o'clock Senator Car
michael of Colbert suggested that the
senate remain in session today as COM
mittee of the whole and then as the
senate until the revenue bill was dis
posed of with the exception of recess
for lunch and offered a motion to that
effect
Senator Leith of Walker, while not
opposing remaining in session until
the matter is disposed of, did object 10
making such rule at this time. Con-
tending that unless a legislative day
would thereby be lost he saw no good
reason for the adoption of the mo-
ton.
Senator Marmichael changed his mo-
ton to read that the committee remain
in session today until the bill is dis
posed Of
Senator Evins OF Hale disclaimed any
ton to obstruct legislation or to
delay action, but said the pending
measure was too important to be rail-
roaded through and he objected to the
adoption of the motion.
