Alabama's Fine Cattle
 Win Prizes at Nashville

A LABAMA pure-bred cattle came EN away with honors won in com petitive exhibition with 800 regis tered specimens at the Southern Live Stock show, recently held in Nash vile.
 The Dales of Greensboro were awarded first prize in the baby beef class and the Meadowbrook Stock Farm, Eutaw, won third. The latter also captured the grand champion and won the first prize for the best steer.
 That was no small affair at Nash vile. Experts pronounced the expo sition rival of the great international shows held in Chicago. Pedigreed Alabama cattle are entitled to be classed with the best this country pro- duces.
 And these prize winning cattle were raised in the very heart of the south's cotton belt. There is poor excuse, it seems, for any plea of hard living to come from a section where such cat tie can be produced at minimum cost on practically perennial pastures. Not only can these cattle be raised, but two different crops per season of many kinds can be grown. A wall might be built about the "black belt" of Ala bama and it could live we'll if not dollar ever found it's way there.
 Nor should it ever be forgotten that these prize-winning animals are not the outcome of nature alone, but Ala bama owes this new industry, as it does all its others, to the application of exact knowledge ascertained by patient scientists. Not until the en- tomologists discovered the ravages of the cattle tick and the weapon for his destruction was this Alabama in- dustry made possible.
 It would be humiliating to contem- plate these magnificent animals car- rying afar the fame of their state while some misguided people are still blowing up dipping vats and postpon- ing the day when the entire state will be lifted from the quarantine, did we not know that even these few are bound eventually to see the light.

Algood Plan Applied
 to Cotton Culture

~ LEVER and to the point was the W answer Commissioner of Agricul- ture Algood gave the editor of the Augusta, Ga, Chronicle, following the latter's suggestion that Alabama cut her cotton acreage as some other southern states had promised to do.
 MT. Algood showed by the federal reports of production that Alabama had already done her part in acreage reduction and that it were no bad thing did Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, which are still large producers, follow Ala bama's example rather than hold this state up as one of the offenders.

The average production of the past five years has been less than 50 per cent of that of 1914, and is in- controvertible evidence that Alabama has devoted large proportion of acre. age formerly given over to cotton to other crops.
 No bad advice is that given the farmer by MT. Algood in this lan- guage:
 l am going to advise the far mers of Alabama to grow more horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, hay, beans, vegetables, fruits, corn, oats, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, syrup, peanuts, broom corn, oceans and everything else for the home consumption. and aft CT they have done this to grow all the cotton they can.
 No one can follow this programme and go wrong, because by the time he has grown all these things advo- cated by the commissioner, he will be a veritable lord of the manor and it will matter little whether he has energy and acres left for cotton or has not.
