 to Save $25,OOO,O00
 51 HE $25,oOo which the state nor ticultural board asks of the pres ent legislature for fighting the bean lady bug" is small sum compared to the importance of ridding Alabama of this pest before other states es- tablish quarantines against our cow neas and other members of the bean family.
 This quarantine will Also be sp-' plied to Alabama hay, because the bug hides in hay bales and in that manner gets from state to state. It came to Alabama in bales of alfalfa hay from Colorado.
 The Alabama bean crop of all kinds is valued at $25,OOO,OOO per annum. The lady bug literally devours the plant and destroys it's entire produc- tion. Its ravages in Jefferson and eight adjoining counties are but the beginning of what they will be in the entire state unless its inroads are stopped at once by the Auburn ex- perts.
 ~ The government will be asked by the federal department of agriculture to appropriate $100,000 to fight the pest, but this will not be available until next fall at the earliest. Ala bama cannot wait until that time. The work of eradication must be done by Alabama pending federal aid. The horticultural board has the experts to do the work, but not the money.
 Will Alabama appropriate $25,OOO to save $25,Oo0,oO0? That is the sit uation. Lead in Production;
 Should Lead in Marketing TIT is an achievement of the agri- u cultural energies of a state to lead in the production of one great staple.
 When 1t leads in three, the triple crown of accomplishment is to be en- vied by all the nation.
 The federal government reports Ala bama first this year in the production of peanuts, of sorghum and of sweet potatoes.
 The sorghum crop is forecast at 1O,- 164,000 gallons out of total for the country of 3s,525,ooo
 The peanut production is forecast at \, N,1SS,0o0 bushels out of a nations total of 3s,Sso,o0o.
 The sweet potato yield is estimated at 14,137,0o0 bushels out of total of 1o1 ,OO0,o0o bushels.
 Alabama will produce more than fourth of the peanut and sorghum and one-seventh of the sweet potato crops of forty-eight states.
 This shows that Alabamians have the grit, the energy, the capacity to produce. The question for them is whether they get full value of their work in return. Production is but one-half of the battle. The mar keting of the crops is fully another half, and it is the more important half.
 1t is common knowledge that for several reasons Alabamians lost fully $10,000,0e0 worth of sweet potatoes because they routed before they could be profitably marketed. The sweet

"A FEW men who would depart from
every present method of running the
world, are agitating a movement "a
mong farmers thru which they seek
to control the output of the farmer
and thus the price. One of the planks
in the program is that the farmer will
MOI raise one bushel of grain or mar
ket any product until he has a ron
tract for the same in advance. Adj
hitting that it would be fine to have
a contract for 1000 bushels of wheat
before one starts to raise them, what
will he do if he can't fulfil the con-
tract? Suppose the Lord sends a
food, or a drought, or hail, or rust,
who will stand the loss? The farmer?
Contractors who fail to fulfil their
contracts are called upon to pay the
fiddler. Under the present system,
the farmer gets more for his bushel
of wheat when there is a greater de-
mand for it than when there is not.
We fail to see wherein the farmer
would be benefited by this pro-
position at all. He has no control over
the seasons, upon which the yield de-
ponds largely. His problem is not one
of production. or overproduction, but
rather one of marketing. A co-opera-
tive marketing association of wheat
growers or cor growers, or cattle
Taisers or any group of men whose
problems are the same, is the one
tried and successful solution of this
seemingly complex problem, and we
urge that every farmer use his in
Nuence that such an organization be
started here.
