HAY CROPS FOR LIVE STOCK
Many Farmers unmlndfuI Of Neces-
city OF Providing for Fall and
Winter Feeding.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The high price Of rough feed en-
phaslzes the necessity Of all farmers
planting sufficient acreage Of sum-
mer forage crops to enable them to
provide themselves with hay and
other roushages for their live stock
during the coming year. With the
abundance of pasture available in the
springtime farmers oftentImes are un-
mindful Of the necessity Of providing
for that period during the fall when
pasture will be dry. or during the WIN
ter when there will be no feed avail
able.
The county agents should be con-
suited with reference to the available
ity of seed. Where outside purchases
have to be made the order should be
placed at once. 30 that the seed may

3. Make regular; shipments. Instead
of making the city commission district
the dumping ground for what your To-
cal dealers will not buy, keep your
city agent regularly supplied with
what his trade will take, thereby help
ing him stabilize the business In which
you are both concerned.
4. Keep each other Informed. Early
in the shipping season the farmer
should give his agent careful estl-
mate Of what may be expected, and
no material changes In the quantity
Of the regular shipment should be
made, unless prompt notice is given
the agent In order that he may secure
purchasers In case of increase or
arrange to care for his regular Gus
toners IL shipments will not meet re-
quirements. Successful shippers make
frequent use of the telegraph or long
distance telephone to keep agents
posted as to changes in shipments.
The agent should also be expected to
keep the shipper Informed as to any
changes in the requirements Of the
market.
5. Avoid frequent changes In agents.
Some shippers prefer to divide their
shipments each day among numerous
commission merchants In the same
market. While it may be wise under
certain conditions to check one agent

who selects an agent with great care

most exacting examination of his
methods.

CULTIVATION NEEDED
IN CORN PRODUCTION
Object Is to Promote Early
Growth and Development.
Methods VIII Vary to Meet Require
ments Of PIanting-Prevent Weeds
From Robbino Soil Of MoIs-
ture and Fertility.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Approximately 1O0.0O0.000 acres Of
corn In the United States are annually
given two or more CIVILIZATIONS. Guilt
walton Is considered essential In the
corn production. The general purpose
Of cultivation Is to promote the early
growth and later development of the
corn plant. The usual type of culti-
walton is sometimes modified to meet
special conditions, such as rctarding
the vegetative growth of the plant by
cutting the corn roots In early cultiva-
ton. The kind of cultivation will also
vary to some extent to meet the re-
quirements of different methods Of
planting.
Some of the most successful corn
growers begin their cultivation before
they plant their crop. They claim
that a deep cultivation Of the soil ut
this time Is Of as much value as later
civilizations. It causes the soil to
warm more quickly, destroys early
weed growth, and Incorporates the veg
etable matter more thoroughly into the
soil.
Corn Is cultivated to prevent weeds
from robbing the corn OF soil moisture
and fertility, to put the surface in the
best condition to absorb rainfall, to
warm the soil by drying It's surface
quickly, and to save moisture by check
ing the capillary rise to the soil sur
face.
Corn should be cultivated often
enough to keep down the weeds and to
maintain loose soil mulch until the
crop has attained It's growth. To sat
isfy this end greater number Of cul-
tivations will be necessary when rains
at intervals of week or so cause
the surface soil to run together and
crust. This crust must be broken and

SERVICE MEN MAY REDEEM POLICIES

Washington, July 25.-Discharged service men who let their government insurance lapse were given the privi- lege of reinstating their policies with in eighteen months without payment of back premiums under an order signed today by Secretary Glass.
 The new reinstatement regulation, one of a number under consideration designed to make it possible for every discharged soldier. sailor and marine to continue government insurance af- ter his return to civil life, is regarded as the most liberal ever offered by any insurance organization. The only re- quirement is that the man requesting reinstatement must be in as good health as at the tme of discharge and must pay the premium for the month of grace in which his insurance was continued after he stopped payment and the premium for the month in which he requests reinstatement. Premiums for the intervenening months will not be re- quired.
 Should lapse again occur, after the IS months from date of discharge. re- instatement may be made provided such insurance shall not have lapsed more than one year.
 The order made it clear that the new ruling does not automatically reinstate any policy. Every man who allows his policy to lapse is without protection until he voluntarily applies for rein- statement

 IS NOW PROPOSED
Workmen's Compensation Comes Up Monday-Shel- by Politics Aired Before
 House Yesterday
By w. J. BOLES

Montgomery, July 25-(specia1)- Representative John c. Arnold of Jeff ferson introduced bill in the house today which, if enacted into law, will abolish the county board of reve- nus in Jefferson county and substi- tute therefor a general manager of county affairs and an advisory board of five members.
 MT. Arnold claims that by substitut- ing the manager system for the present board system Jefferson could save s10,- 900 a year in salaries and more than s10o,000 a year in efficiency.
 The bill provides for term of six years for the general manager at salary of s5000 a year and five mem bers of the advisory board at s6 a day for the time they are actually engaged in the performance of their duties as such. not to exceed ten days any one month.
 The bill also contains a recall clause providing that upon certificate of the ad- visory board that the general manager is incompetent or neglecting his duties an election shall be called by the prob ate judge at which the general mana ger shall be a candidate and if he is reelected the members of the advisory board shall forthwith resign.

PACKERS REPLY TO
 KENYON'S CHARGE
Contend They Have Perfect Right to Fight Measure Which Threatens
 Their Existence
By Associated Press

By aSs0Ctatou FFbSs
 Chicago, July 25.-(SpeciaD.-Th e packing industry replied today to Sen ator Kenyon's assertion on the floor of the Senate that "the greatest propa- ganda that ever had been undertaken in this country is now in full swing lation of the packers"
 The reply was made by the insti-' tute of American meat packers. com prising about two hundred packing firms. Thomas E. Wilson is chairman of the committee which is now direc- ting the work of the institute. says the statement:
 Senator Kenyon has charged in the Senate of the United States that the packers are sending out propa- ganda against this bill to place the packing industry under federal license, as if there were something wrong in this.
 "The entire public Is vitally i'm terested in the correct solution of the high cost of living.
 Complete understanding of all facts will dissipate suspicion and prejudice which, if relied upon for adverse legis- 1ation, will harm us all. the livestock producer and the consumer as well as the packers.
 Tn the last analysis the public will decide those issues and to them we will present the facts
 l~The bill introduced by the senator threatens the life of the packing in dustry It is unAmerican and is a dangerous precedent for all business It would amount to practical govern ment operation, which, with this com plex industry, would result in greater disaster than that which we have with the government operation or railroads, telegraph and telephone lines.
 There is an unprecedented propa- ganda in favor of this legislation and against the packers. The wholesale grocers and the federal trade commits sion, for example, are active with propaganda of this character.
 we are doing exactly what every American citizen has a perfect right to do We are opposing this bill in an open and legitimate manner and will continue to do so. It is unthinkable that persons whose investments and business are threatened by radical and vicious legislation cannot lay the facts before the people.
 "The Senator had something to say on the high cost of living Our busi- ness is conducted efficiently and at the minimum profit of small fraction of one cent per pound. Our volume en- ables us to retain such small profit that it cannot materially affect the cost to the consumer. The packers would gladly welcome an investigation

Montgomery, July 5.-(SpeciaL)- Nearly two hours were consumed in the house of representatives today in the consid of the Murphree bill to increase the salaries of official court stenographers in all counties from $100 to $150 a month. Lined up against the measure are nearly all of the members of the house who are not lawyers while the lawyers as a rule are supporting it
 Arguments for the passage of the amendment were made by Representa- tives Lynn of Morgan. Carnley of Golf fee, Van de Graaf of Tuscaloosa, Green of Dallas and Orr of Marshall while it was opposed by Representatives U. Lee Long of Butler, Parker of Coosa- Alexander of Perry and one or two others.
 This is the same bill that precipitated a heated discussion in the house on Friday of last week and was still under consideration when the house adjourn ed. It came up as unfinished business this morning, but further discussion was cut off by adjournment at o'clock Late this afternoon, after the roll call for the passage of local bills had been concluded, Representative Ross of Jefferson county moved that it be passed over to the thirty-third legislative day and the house voted unanimously in favor of the motion.
 In opposing the amendment Repre- sentative Holes of Elmore said bill raising taxes was pending and that all north Alabama had been down pro- testing against it. He did not think the legislature should increase sala- ries or any other appropriations until the matter of taxes had been settled

LOCAL BILLS CALLED UP

Montgomery, July 25.-(SpeciaL)- Under rule adopted this morning the roll called in the house of represen- tatives immediately upon reconvening this afternoon for the passage of local bills. There is large number of these on the calendar dealing with almost every conceivable subject which coun- ties and municipalities have to deal, ranging all the way from repeating town charters to the disposition of specified funds in county treasuries-
 Thirty-six of these bills were passed during the roll call and two were held on the calendar because of objections One of these was the bill of Represen- tative Ross of Jefferson exempting persons living within the territory over which the Bessemer division of the circuit court has jurisdiction from jury service in the Birmingham courts.
 Representative Truss of Jefferson objected to the passage of the bill on the grounds that he had not seen 1t and did not know what was in 1t. Under the rules there must be unanimous consent before a bill can be called from the calendar out of its order and put upon its passage. The objection of MT. Truss therefore was sufficient to keep it on the calendar.
 Representative Truss bill authoriz- ing cities with 100000 population or more to condemn or acquire by pur- chase or otherwise a right of way, easment or other interest in land for the purpose of connecting private pro- perty with sanitary or storm sewer age system of such city and to assess the cost of the acquisition of such right of way easment or other interest in such land, and the cost of construct ing such connections. against the pro- perty benefited thereby.
 Representative Bakers bill extend ing the certificate of teachers who served in the navy or army of the United States during the world war for a period equal to the length of time they so served. Mir Baker stated, in calling up the bill that hundreds of teachers whose certificates had expired would be lost to the schools of the state unless their certificates were ex- tended. The superintendents are au- thorized to extend. the certificates.
