 AND ELSEWHERE
Cut-oxer Farm Lands.


 Alabama farm lands respond to scientific treatment as readily as any lands in the northwest of west" said J. B. Brosius of Tuscaloosa superintend- ent of the ranch department of the Raul Lumber company. When we Oe- gan cultivating the cut-over lands in Tuscaloosa county three or four years ago we got about. Is bushels of corn to the acre. This year we are gathering an average of 40 bushels to the acre from the same land. We have had the same experience with soy beans, the yield having more than doubled In three years. But 1t is in the culture of cat tle and swine that we are specializing and our success in that line has been remarkable. Some of the cattle and swine are on exhibition al the state fair and they compare fayorably with the best to be found any where in the country. With scientific farming methods adopted in Alabama there is no reason why grain and live stock should not be the leading industries of the state"

State Fair Surpasses
 All Expectations

A GREAT State Fair was prom A ised, but it surpasses all ex- pectations. Birmingham has had many creditable shows, but none in the class with this years exhibition.
 Our out-of-town visitors are here by the thousands, and the people of Birmingham are showing unusual in terest in the daily attractions.
 No citizen who has spark of pub lie spirit or civic pride can afford not to put in at least one day at the fair.
 It is hard to please everybody, but the splendid event this week comes near arousing unanimous praise.

Street Car Tickets

q have been asked a number of times about the advisability of put ting on street car tickets to avoid the constant need of having the pas sengers burdened with pennies and to expedite the work of the conductors,
 said Lee c. Bradley, receiver of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Pow CT company. "and I am pleased to state that arrangements have been made to issue strips of six tickets. The price will be the same. They are merely issued as convenience to the public. have been pleased to note how every one has tried to cooper ate and make the collection of the extra penny as easy ss possible on the conductors. Many will hand dime and a penny, or twenty-five cents and a penny. or half dollar and penny, when they do not happen to have a nickel and a penny. This. in itself. is a great help to those taking up fares"

 It is gratifying to note that with alarming reports coming from various sections of the south which show that the organization of negroes against whites has made considerable head way, the representative leaders of Birmingham's colored people are cau- tioning the members of their race against being led astray.
