BETTER TIMES ARE AHEAD OF FARMER
AIlgood Says TilIers of SUl Successful in Growing Most
 All of Their Crops

Montgomery, september S.--tSpe- cial. .)--Farmers of Alabama see pet ter times ahead than ever before since the break in the markets, ac- cordihg to the statement on asri- cultural conditions made public Sat- urdav afternoon by M C. Allgood, commissioner of agriculture.
 Mir. Allgood pointed out that Ala bama farmers have been success ful this year in the growing of Irish potatoes. cabbage. mixed vegetables. strawberries, watermelons and sweet potatoes and that they were sold at a good profit, despite the unusually high freight rates. He also said he saw great revival in interest in dairying and growing of truck and that farmers are not going into new fields blindfolded put are visiting other sections and obtaining informa- tion about how the new crops should be handled
 He pointed out that some losses had been suffered during the year by bad packing, which could easily
 
 pack their products in baskets in stead of barrels. as they are more easily handled and are not brusied In transit. thus bringing higher prices to the farmers in the markets.
 Commissioner Allgood predicted that more clover, alfalfa, rye and oats will be sown this year than ever before. He urged the farmers to plant some of these crops because they protect the soil and afford graz ing. grain and hay.
 With cotton prices going up and the policy of the federal reserve bozsd toward the farmers being charged in their favor, Commissioner Aiigood said he saw bright future. with an abundance of corn practi- caly throughout Alabama and with hjg surplus to sell in north Ala hanaa.' continued the statement ''sgi-h big surplus of hay to sell in cen ral Alabama and with splendid crops of peanuts and syrup to sell in south Alabama, with hogs and cat tie and poultry and eggs and sweet potatoes to sell all over the state. we are beginning to feel and see better HIMes."

 Immigration Bureau
Bx Associated rrets

Washington september 3.-lhVes- tigation of conditions in the field service of the immigration bureau las been instituted by the depart ment of labor. Assistant Secretary Henning announced today.
 Removal by President Harding or H. J. Skeffington, immigration com missioner at Bosten. and the resig- nation of A. P. Schell immigrant on inspector at New York, Secretary Henning said, were not indicative, however. of any Irregularities In those offices.
 Irving T. Wixon, formerly sta- tioned at Montreal, will act as com missioner at Boston until an ap- pointment is made MT Henping said.
 Secretary Henning said the inves- tigation had been made necessary by domination of the immigration bureau there by the field service The department has decided, he added, that in the future the field service will be controlled by he department and the commissioner general of immigration and not by the individual ports.
 Antiquated methods. MT. Henn:ng continued, have prevailed for sew eral years and at some stations where the officials have been in the service 25 years the methods have not been changed to any per ceptible degree in that lenght of time.
 "All ports will stand little in vestigation." MT Henning said, adding that the investigations, how ever. in most eases would become a matter >of improving methods and bringing about greater efficiency.

WILL FREE DEBS
This Is Hint Given Out By Admin
 istration Officials
By Associated Press

Washington, September, S.--The possibility that President Harding. after the formal conclusion of peace with Germany. may through extension of executive cIemency open the doors of the Atlanta penitentiary 70 Eugene V Debs, the socialist leader, was sug- gested today by administration of cals
 Speculation as to disposition of the Debs case has been widespread in Washington for several weeks. Re- ports were general until few days ago, although without official con firmation that Attorney General Daugherty would recommend that the socialist leader be pardoned. This be lief. however. was lessened and in some quarters entirely dissipated by the emphatic stand taken by Mir. Daugherty in his American Bar as- sociation address of last Wednesday against release of what he called political offenders"
 Several officials on having their attention called today to the stand taken by the attorney general, im- 1nediately pointed out that dis iinction existed between q pardon and an exteGxion Of exS1utiyS q la- ency. A pardon, it was explained, would operate b restore Debs to the full rights and privileges of citizen ship in addition to freeing him from prison while the extension of elem ency merely would allow him his freedom.
 These officials were strongly of the opinion that in view Of the socialist leaders advanced age and because his offenses have been held to be of words ratber than deeds, the question of clemency might be considered by the Attorney General and the Presi- dent.
