TO FIND MARKETS OVERSEAS

Its principal business would be to findl enter anu maintain overseas out lets Tor these manufactured products. Afr Harris says; Ito establish them un- oer their own trade marks and brands and create and build permanent mar kets and demands for them.

BEST SUITED CROPS

Don't misunderstood me, please; We fully realize that the Alabama farmers are practical men. we'll trained and self evidently successful men, but we can be of great help to them in showing which crops are best suited to their sectioTs, not only as regards soil and climate, but transportation. markets and market ing" said Mir. Allgood. rIn this way 1t is our belief that the conference mentioned will save the planters considerable sums Of money and avoid overproduction Of any one crop.
 First we are going to get the available and used acreage, then using the correct information regarding this soil, inform the farmers of these sections what that soil will give the best returns with. You would be surprised at the number of letters we have received from farmers who have already asked for this infor- nation, even before they knew we were about to compile it at the agricultural department.
 You can get an idea of what we are driving at from this Alabama is now consuming the major portion of the corr it produces. and is producing nearly enough corn for it's own needs. You can readily see what would happen to the price of corn if every farmer cut loose and planted it broadcast. Get the idea! By furnishing the farmer with correct information about the quantity raised, consumed and demanded, and what sort of soil and other matters best suited 10 it, the farmer will known just how much land it will benefit him to put in corn That is an insight into the work planned By going through the list of products suitable to the several sections of the state, we can save the farmers a lot or money.
 Another instance is hog raising. Last wear gave us the best money the state has ever realized from hogs. This was trtle in many other states most all' Of the hog raising states. Now, if every farmer everywhere went in for hog rals- ing. regardless of anything else, 1t prop ably would result in his working at loss for that year that is, hgurativeis fr,p

TALKSON FARM CONDITIONS
 AND AGRICULTURE
Commissioner of Agricul- ture Stresses Importance of Considering Soil
 Surveys

"Agricuiturally. Alabama is to be redis- hicted. There will be four main di- visions. IL is the preliminary step to making our farmers independent of out of~state produce of any sort"
 Mnes C. Allgood, commissioner of az riculture for Alabama, passed through the city yesterday and while here made the foregoing statement. Continuing, Mir Allgood said
 T know of few things that will grow in this zone that Alabama cannot pro duce. Scanning old records it is startling to see the number of products that will grow here. that Alabama farmers, in the past. have bought from other states. That condition will be changed.
 Practically all of the agricultural areas of Alabama have made 8 more or less thorough soil survey. Since the surveys were made intensive agriculture has made such advanced development that now we have clear working idea of the state s soil, and what the sections best pro- duce.
 within the next week or two, pr. J. F. Duggar of Auburn, director of farm extension work in Alabama; w. A. Glst' of the United States department of asri- culture who is federal statstician Tor Alyabama; J r Watt of Auburn, stA1e demonstration agent, and demonstration supervisors of the northern, north-central, south-central and southern agricultural sections of the state will meet in Mont gomery myself included, to invite the attention of the Alabama farmers to the character of the soil and climate in the several sections of the state best adapted to certain crops.
