 We also were impressed with thl
 that instead of borrowing money to
 a crop, the most progressive farn( the states visited borrows money f handling of livestock to which his

 ereasing soil fertility, this meth sound from a financial and economic i
 of view. We were further impressed with
 fact, as brought out by Dean Daveni that while farmers should be encour
 to organize, as producers, they are I directly interested in organizing for
 of their products than for the purcha, supplies, which is quite contrary to idea held in the south.
 Also impressive is the co-operation isting between the town and the cour as exemplitied by county commercial ganizations and as illustrated bv close cooperation, for instance, bety the Mclean county farm bureau and Bloomington Chamber of Commerc. Illinois.
 Tt is observed that back of these 4 mentioned lies the work of effective leges and experiment stations and cert ly the money expended for them by' citizens in these states has producd vast profit to the people, and further better farm conditions found are to practical service given the peoplj the colleges and experiment stations
 Tt was also impressive that the i'd CTS of the various communities havl active voice in the work and plans the county demonstration agents.

Tuscaloosa Terminals NoU
 Used EUery Day With Profit

Tuscaloosa, July 1S.-(SpeciaI)-
 The terminals owned by the city oi Tuscaloosa on the warrior river arc
 now being used every day, and the great derrick is rapidly beginning to pay a dividend on the amount of mon- ey invested.
 Thursday, the TO- for instance. 200. 900 feet of lumber was lowed up the Warrior river from Knoxville, some 30 or 40 miles below Tuscaloosa There were two large barge loads, piled high and so loaded that the tie-cable could be slipped easily under the turns" of about a th6usand feet each. Within half hour after the tow boat Baldwin" had showed the barges alongside the piling which will later support the wharf, the Tuscaloosa derrick was lifting the lumber off the barge and depositing it easily gracefully, and gently in freight cars waiting on the side track There was no jar, no noise, no pulling and hauling. The immense loads of lumber might have been so many feathers, as the steel boom with a reach of 140 feet lifted them and deposited them so easily that person standing ten feet distant could not hear the impact of a turn of lumber on the car floor.
 For this the city of Tuscaloosa charg- es 75 cents per thousand. The 100000 feet of lumber can be dnloaded in a day As the crew becomes more skill ed probably the record can be lowered, and very likely will be lowered. But the point is Tuscaloosa gets $150 from this one shipment-and the men who ship the lumber are mighty glad to pay it. Since the great derrick was put in commission June 21 it has been earning money for the city-not steadily, but sufficient to pay cost of operation. When the terminals are completed it will earn larger amounts.
 Another shipment of 500,000 feet is being loaded at Knoxville and will be brought to Tuscaloosa to be loaded on freight cars There are others equally large in sight, so the period of acti- witty for the derrick and terminal fla

Iron and Steel For

As result of the phenomenal oil devel- opment operations in the different fields of central west Texas, the demand for sheet metal for the construction of stor- age tanks is said to be far greater than ever before known in any part of the United States, says a Ranger, Tex, spe

In the aggregate the new trade amounts to many millions of dollars $ year, with prospects that it will steadily increase for "ome time to come. Besides the iron and steel materials, machinery and equip ment that are required in the oil fields dealers report that tie sales of centri- fugal pumps for water wells, corrugated sheet metal for silos. water tanks and other purposes and steel ire were never as great in Texas as at this time.
