 The increase of cattle and hog grow ing strengthens the demand for mod ern packing houses. Those that are being operated are proving profitable to the stockholders. A dozen more would ray. The packing house creates a cash market for the farmers hogs and cat tie and adds therefore to his wealth and the community's prosperity.

There is little change in the busi- ness situation. In the south trade in nearly all lines is brisk and the out look for continued activity is bright.
 In every southern town or city build ing is in great evidence. In not few cities construction work is making new high records. Not in years has there been such building boom.
 One of the striking facts, from an industrial point of view, is the steady increase in the number of small plants The Birmingham district is the center not only of iron and steel making, but of various interests along manu- featuring lines.
 In the cotton states textile mills are prospering greatly and every week witnesses ground broken for new tex tile plants.
 The farmers of Alabama are pre- pairing for diversified crops on larger scale than ever, and it is safe to predict that the total value of farm products in 1920 will exceed that of last year. which was considerably above the half billion mark, by hundred million or more, or more.
 A notable feature of agricultural progress is the improved farm ma chinery The tractor blow is becoming g recognized as necessity. Its labor

in small lots for early shipment to help out where furnaces are unable to deliver, due to the continued scarcity of coke and cars in which to load the iron.
 "Foundres report opportunities to make castings are very numerous and they seem assured of maximum produc- ton for months to come. The snow storms in the east interfered with the delivery of raw materials. and the urgency of acquisitions and futile ef- forts to trace shipments have oceu pied consumers more than the purchase of further raw materials.
 There was not great deal of buy ing in the ferro alloy line. but this is really due 10 the fact that the princi- pal alloy. ferro manganese, is virtually unobtainable for shipment prior to July. Most of the inquiry has been for that shipment. although a round tom mage was inquired for and purchased for shipment during the last half There was only moderate inquiry for silvery irons.
 Coke still remains very scarce commodity, due almost entirely to the inadequate car supply. Were cars more plentiful the production of coke would be much larger. thus relieving a very serious situation now prevailing. This applies to both furnace and foundry grades"

Jamestown Lead Co.

It has been learned Yn .Gadsden that the Jamestown Lead Company is ar- ranging to start core drills at it's prop erty at Jamestown, in Cherokee coun- ty in order to ascertain the extent of lead deposits there, says the Gadsden Evening Journal.
 The company spent $25.000 on ma chinery and after sinking a shallow shaft abandoned the enterprise. The reason for this. however, is said not to have been due to disappointment at results but to circumstances not relat- ed to the property itself. It is said that the company has plenty of money and is quite able to explore a large territory.
 Local experts declare that there are three well-defined veins of lead a. Jamestown and that the core drills will reveal them to be very large and workable.
 Recently Chicago people have be- come interested in the field to such an extent as to desire an interest. One engineering firm of importance in the metallurgical world is said to be anx- ious to aid in developing the lead de- posfs in Cherokee county"

 Robert J. Cummins of Houston, con- sulting engineer for the city on the seawail. recommended that the grade of the city be raised to high-water mark. but it has been felt necessary to abandon this scheme because of the excessive cost. The wall as planned by Mir. Cummins, without a raising of the grade will cost approximately S3,000,- 900.

The city has refused to await congressional ac- ton, however, and is proceeding with plans for building such part of the wall as is Financially possible regardless Of the action of Congress.
 The first section, for which contract is to be let in the next three months. will start at a point near the lower end of the wholesale district and end at a point near the upper end of the retail district, thus affording immediate pro- tecton to the most valuable property in the city. The ends will be closed by means of temporary bulkheads on pil- ing and two-man stone run into the shore line. Earth barriers will be biult across the three blocks of the beach section of the city to the bluff Street intersections will be left open, and a supply of sand bags kept on hand to fill them in event of a hurricane warn ing.

HOUSING NEEDS

Declaring that now is the time to hegin to build. the Chronicle of Au- gusta, Ga. says;
 The city of Augusta, with her need of apartment houses, hotels, homes, is making a slow start in the building line for 1920. There were great many homes built in 1919 and 1920 should see just twice as many. Ger tainly the need of apartment houses is one which all of us recognize and we should lay our plans to build at least three between now and the first of De- tober: that is to say, we should have at least three in readiness by that time. We understand there are plans on foot to build apartment houses, and those planning could not expend money more wisely. There are demands for various classes of apartment houses in Augusta One demand is for two room and kitchenette apartment which would rent for from $40 to $50 per month, Formerly these apartments would have rented for $25 to $50 per month, but the cost of building is so high that the rent has almost doubled. Then there is demand for the more

This is one of the best farms in Tuscaloosa county, being at the place where the Posters Ferry road crosses the Black Warrior river.
