The above drawing which illustrates why Birmingham is still buying food in California and other states, is being used as a poster by the Chamber of Commerce committee on agriculture and marketing ing it's work among the business interest ts of the state developing better facilities in the shipping towns for handling Alabama farm products.
 The Chamber of Commerce is now making an investigation in Birmingham to find out what percentage of farm pro- ducts consumed in Birmingham comes from Alabama farms and what percent age of food consumed here is shipped in from other states. While this survey is not complete, T. Park Hay, Jr, executive secretary, and other officials. who are interested in the investigation, are eX- pressing surprise at the reports which show to what extent Birmingham food dealers are forced to go into other sec tions of the country to buy food.

For the Good of
 the Community


 TN 1882, Manchester, Eng, began the agitation A for ship canal to the sea- Manchester was the center of the greatest cotton mill district n the world It was 30 miles to the sea.
 Freight rates were against them, however and they realized the necessity of reducing these They were dependent upon the railways their imports of raw cotton and exports of manufac- tured articles passing through the port of Liver pool, or Birkenhead.
 At meeting of manufacturers held in 1882 one of the spOkesmen said: There is remedy and one remedy only-a waterway which will give practically unlimited docking and ware housing facilities to the shippers of the world.
 A committee raised at this meeting, spent S5OO,O0O in campaigns before parliamentary per mission was granted in1885 for the construction of the canal. The canal was completed in 1894
 How Manchester lowered rates" is the sub- ject of an article recently published in an Amer ican newspaper In part it reads:
 "So early in the game as during the first at- tempt to obtain parliamentary sanction for the construction of the canal, the Mersey docks and harbor board, till then deaf to all requests for a reduction Tn the cost of getting raw cottonto the mill and the manufactured article to the export steamers, suddenly reduced the Liverpool dock and town dues from 84 cents to 72 cents per ton on imported raw cotton.
 Even so Manchester so steadily drew cotton from Liverpool that within two years of the opening of the canal, the Liverpool dock and town dues were further reduced from 72 cents to AS cents per ton.
 Liverpool took the same course when Man. chester began to import grain. The dock dues on wheat and corn were at once reduced from B cents to "A cents per ton at Liverpool and by IF cents per ton at Birkenhead
 'The all-water route the ship canal could of- fer, of course, at once affected the railways. The railway rate for cotton from Liverpool to Manchester dropped from S2.18 to S174 per ton. At the same time the railroad rate for export piece goods and yarns from Manchester to Liverpool dropped from S243 to S195 per ton"
 This, in brief, tells the story of Manchester's low freight rates and explains why that citv. 5000 miles across the seas from the cotton fields has maintained her pre-eminence as a cotton manufacturing center.
 In the years to come similar story may he written about the Warrior river The 80 per cent rate recently authorized by the United States railroad administration is but the fore runner of still cheaper rates that are> bound to come as commercial utilization of that stream IS developed and the manufacturers and ship pers of Birmingham realize it's importance to them.
