Seeding Season WIN Be Very Short

B. F. Baker of Glenburn was in the
city, Tuesday, looking for a hired
hand. Farm hands are very scarce
in the vicinity of Glenburn, as else
where thruout the state. Mr.. Baker
reports that no transient laborers have
appeared in that district this spring
and the home hands are being hired
at $40 and SIS a month. Farmers
were ready to go into the fields early
in the week, but undoubtedly opera
tons have been delayed for the en-
tire week by the wet snow which fell
thruout the Northwest Monday night.
Mr.. Baker says that at the very best
with no unfavorable weather, the far
mers will have only about thirty days
in which to put in their entire crop.
Farmers will simply not risk putting
in high priced seed with high priced
feed and labor after the seeding sea-
son closes. They are planning on put
ting in what they can do we'll and
in the proper season, and then sum-
mer following the remainder Of their
land.
Mr.. Baker says that the grasshop-
pers are very apt to be serious
menace this year. The grashoppers
that appeared in the grass along the
roadsides after the snow went off were
undoubtedly those that were Matched
last fall. There are millions of grass
hopper eggs in the sod along the fields
and these will hatch in two or three
weeks. Whether they will leave be-
fore they do a great deal of damage,
no one knows. 1t is certain that there
will be great many of them early
in the season. The grasshoppers did
considerable damage in the Glenburn
district last season, starting in, on the
rye and wheat, finally getting down
to the Russian thistles and even eat
ing the leaves off the bitter yellow
mustard plants ait the last. One Glen
burn farmer reports that the grass
hoppers have seemingly already eaten
his rye. There is still considerable
snow in banks around Glenbrun. The
soil is in ideal shape for crop, most
of the moisture soaking into the land.

CHRISTMAS SEALS
 AND HEALTH BONDS
The Sale of Seals and Bonds StartS-For Anti Tubercu-
 losis Campaign

Bright and early this morning, men, women and children throughout the state or Alabama went before the public giv- ing everyone an opportunity to buy -hristmas seals and health bonds Those In charge of the sale are emphasizing the fact that this is in every sense of the word an opportunity-an opportunity for every person in the state to do his or her duty in helping to stamp out the great white plague.
 The officials of the Alabama Tuber- culosls association are making every ef- 1ort to rid every persons mind of the idea that the Christmas seal and health pond sale IS in any sense of the word drive. It is not a drive:s it has no connection with a drive, and is nothing more nor less than demonstration of interest In their state on the part of the workers who are placing the stamps on sale. Tuberculosis is taking hundreds Of lives in Alabama every year, it is said, and it will continue to take hundreds Of lives every year unless it is checked The money raised by the sale of the Christmas seals and health bonds will be used not only to check it, but to wipe it out.
 The entire state is fully organized for the sale of the stamps and bonds, and It is believed that twice as many stamps Will be sold this year than ever before. The money raised by the sale of the stamps will be used in hiring county health nurses, for training the people how to avoid the disease and in other ways connected with fighting the plague. Not a penny will be wasted-every cent will be put to good use.

SCORES INTERESTED i
 IN BICYCLE TOUR.

The bicycle run to be held in this city Sunday afternoon promises to be one of the novelties of the year and will be a reminder of the days of twenty years ago when the bicycle was King or the road. Scores of cycling enthusiasts have already made inquiries regarding the run.
 Starting from Woodrow Wilson park at 2 o'clock the cyclists headed by Fred St. Onge on an old style high-wheeled bike, will tour the city, ending the run at one of the city parks, the name of which will be announced later, and where souvenirs and refreshments will be given out.

 On the run there will be no racing of any kind, this is to be purely a sociable ride. Competent men will be along to take care of the younger riders and strict rules of the road will be observed at all times. The run will hark back to the old days when everybody had a wheel and went for an outing every pleasant Sunday afternoon.
 Many of those who will ride Sunday will be o1d-tiners, some of them will see in their minds eye others days and other scenes as they ride over the smooth streets of the city. They will think of the old time paths by the side of the street and of the improvement in the condition of the streets.
