AGRICULTURAL BUILDING

In the agricultural building everything that one ever heard of growing and lots or other things are on exhibit there by farmers from Chiffon, Crenshaw, Mor- gan, Jefferson. Montgomery and Gull man counties. These exhibits consist of countless things grown in Alabama such as cotton, corn, wheat alfalfa, apples,
 pears. pumpkins and in fact everything imaginable.
 In the building devoted to the United States government agriculture exhibits the best methods of farming and cattle raising are demonstrated, and is proving most popular to persons interested in this l line.
 | In the same building the local navy recruiting station, as well as the local army recruiting stations have ex l hbits that are attracting much atten- l tion. The former consists of sea plane and various guns and ammunition.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR 100000 T0NS0F
 ALABAMA COAL
 OPENED UP HERE
Representative of Argentine Government in City to Confer With Coal Inter- ests in Reference to
 Large Contract

Negotiations were opened yesterday between Birmingham coal operators and South American traders which may ter minate in a contract for 4000,o09 tons of coal to be shipped to Argentina
 MT. Parmale, q native of Talladega but for a number of years a resident of Buenos Aires, came to Birmingham yesterday to see about buying coal foi the Argentine government. He repre- sents the Portals company of New Ycrk and Buenos Aires, who are acting in this matter, for the Argentine gov ernment
 MT. Parmale stated that his company was in the market for 4000 900 tons O. coal for delivery during the mex 12 months. and had come to Birming ham to see what arrangements coult be made here
 He called at the Chamber of Com. merce and later was put in touch witt local coal interests, whoN have the mat ter of a contract under consideration.

EXPORT COAL CORPORATION

The visit of MT. Parmale at this
 time falls in with the movement re-
 gently started hers to organize an ex-
 port coal corporation to handle all coal
 intended for shipment from the Bir-
 mingham district to South America and
 other countries.
 This movement has not taken defi- nite shape as yet, but it has gone far enough to insure an organization of that kind in the near future. The ten-
 tative plans so far put forward call for an export agency with experts to pass upon every ton of coal offered for ex port.
 It also provides for the erection at Mobile of a coal storage warehouse with 50 900 tons capacity. and equipped with machinery capable of loading and unloading 800 tons an hour. The government. it is understood, is willing to build the storage warehouse
 and put in the equipment at Mobile provided it is given assurance that there will be sufficient business to meet operating expenses and pay reason able return on the investment.

FREIGHT RATES

It is understood that the possibility of cheaper freight rates from Birming ham to South America than from any other coal field in the United States induced the Portalis company to turn it's eyes in this direction. The rate from Birmingham to Mobile by way of the Warrior river is S1.60 a ton and Tfon, Mobile to Buenos Aires. ST, mak- ing tctal freight charges from Bir- mingham coal mines to the South American city $1S.60.
 Argentina, before the war, bough, most of it's coal in England, but it is stated that the English coal mines will be unable to supply the demand in England and continental Europe for several years, and that South America must, therefore, look to the United States for it's supply.
 The capacity of the Warrior river with it's present equipment and that to be added about January 1, will be about 100000 tons of a coal year down from the Birmingham district tc Mobile but this can be increased as the demand for more cargo space re-

from the thrasher saves time and pre-
vents possible injury from weathering,
but the expense Of baling is too great
to Justify it's common use. If the straw
is baled after stacking, any part which
is spoiled should be spread as manure
or should be burned.
Stable flies prefer to breed in Oat
straw, but may breed in wheat, barley,
or rice straw. In nearly all serious
outbreaks it has been found that the
straw in which the flies bred was not
stacked properly and that it was
soaked by heavy rains which fell soon
after thrashing. In many cases the
stacks were wet completely through
and thus spoiled for feeding.
Stable flies also breed in horse ma
nure, especially in strawy manure, SO
that hauling the manure and spreading
it on the fields helps to reduce their
number and prevent annoyance to
horses and cattle. AS house flies also
breed in manure, hauling the manure
from the stables and yards aids in
keeping down this pest.
