is essential if Michigan growers ar.
to make a profit from the crop, &C
cording to A. L. Bibbins, secretary
of the Michigan Crop improvement,
Association, and extension specialist
at the Michigan Agricultural College.
Many Michigan farmers are said to
be losing money on their oat crop
each year, while the man who har-
vests even an average yield is only
just about meeting the cost of pro-
duction.
"The man who makes money on
this crop is the one who produces a
high yield to the acre." says Mr.. Bib
bins. "This means the use of the
high yielding varieties. The profit
able oat is the one having a small
percent of meat. Good oats are those
that stand up well, are free of dis
ease and are adapted to conditions
under which they are to be grown.
"The College Wonder and Wolver-
have been developed by Prof. F. A.
Spragg, plant breeder at M. A. c.,
and are adapted for Michigan condi-
tions. They produce high yields of
high quality, and are the foundation
on which to build the state oat crop.
"The Worthy, an oat which has
been we'll thought of in the State, has
been outyielded by these newer va
rieties, the College Wonder and VOL

College.
"The Michigan Crop Improvement
association and the Seed Department
of the State Farm Bureau are in a
position to distribute pure seed of
these varieties to Michigan growers"

Speaker, in the chancery division of the circuit court. They will be heard this morning at 9:S0 o'clock before Judge Hugh A. Locke.
 Religious differences over the church in which the child should be reared was said to be the cause of the trouble. Warrant for the grandparent was sworn out in the Jefferson county court of misdemeanors charging him with kid mapping the girl and decoying her away.
 In the petition for habeas corpus, it is alleged that Mir Speaker unlawfully took the child into custody for the sole pur- pose of bringing her up under the re- ligious doctrine to which the father and his wife and family are opposed and in which they do not believe. It is set out in the petition that Speaker is desrous of bringing the girl up under the Catholic doctrine, while the petitioner is raising her under the Protestant belief

ALABAMA COMPANY AUTHORIZES ISSUE $25,OOO,OOO BONDS
Bonds to Bear Higher Rate of lntereSt-Many Develop mentS In State Planned.
 Martins Statement

At the special meeting of the stock holders of the Alabama Power com pany held today in the offices of the company in Birmingham the stock holders approved the plans of the di- rectors for changing the authorized 100000 shares of common stock and the unissued 90,000 shares of pre- ferred stock into non par stock and also authorized a new bond issue of $25,000,00O.
 Yesterdays action was taken with a view to the developments which the com pany has in mind, the heeMitchell dam at Duncan's Rifle on the Coosa being the most immediate one.
 Following is the statement of President Thomas W. Martin with regard to yes- terday's meeting and the action taken: i "A special meeting of the stockholders of the Alabama Power company was held today for the consideration of a financial programme of the company to be adopted in view of the new hydro electric development at Mitchell dam
 
 and other developments of the company in the state.
 ''The plan of the board of directors was submitted to the meeting for the issuance of new bonds and the author ization of the change of the stock of the company to stock without nominal or par value, with the exception of the z per cent cumulative preferred stock heretofore sold, and the plan was ap- proved in it's entirety by the stock holders.
 ''The company has found 1t necessary to authorize the issuance of new bonds bearing a higher face rate of interest as, on account of the present high in- terest rates, the bonds heretofore au- thorized will place a handicap upon the company in view of it's intended devei- opnents.
 The preferred stock of the company, which has been sold and subscribed for was not changed by the action of the meeting, and the new preferred stock of the company to be sold to the public under the plan adopted will pay the same dividends and will be in all re- spects of equal value as that heretofore sold by the company.
 "The power company has sold during the past eight months about 10,00O shares of it's preferred stock to the public in shis state, and authority was given the company to proceed with the sale of an additional 10000 shares at the same price of $93, paying the same dividend as heretofore.
 "The entire programme, including the Issuance of a new mortgage, and the sale of additional preferred stock, was recently approved by the Alabama pub tic service commission"

| UNDER WOOD TO RESIST REPEAL OFTHEWARRIOR |TRANSPORTA7IONLAW w
Declares It Would Be Unfortu- nate for the Government to Withdraw at Time When Its Success Is Practically As- Sured

q shall resist the repeal of the law under which the government is oper- ating and developing the Mississippi Warrior transportation system if att tempted at this time," said United States Senator Oscar w. Underwood, who will return to Washington to- day.
 T know nothing of any plan to change the present system in vogue on the rivers. The first I have heard of any such thing was in the dispatch from Washington in The Age Herald. but I do know that there has always been more or less opposition to the river plans, and we have always ex- pected to encounter them. Until some- thing more definite comes to the sur face, do not know just what to say about 1t, except that we shall resist any attempt at this time to repeal the law under which the government Is now giving the rivers a chance.
 'Tt would be especially unfortu-
 nate for the government to with
 draw its hand at this time. because
 the Warrior Is just beginning to
 make n proof of its success. Now
 fs the critical period in the devel-
 opment of the Warrior. If it Is
 allowed to make full demonstra-
 ton of what it can do n trans
 pOrtution agency, it would not be
 so difficult for private manage
 ment to take hold and continue operations, but the river has not
 yet had it's chance.
 However, the appropriations for the Warrior have been made, and there can be no stoppage of their use for a year from next July, unless the law is re- pealed. This, as I have said, is where we will oppose if it comes to that point.
 CONTRACT
 With contract let for the fuel oil tanks and the $400,000 coal terminal at Mobile, we appear to be in a fair way to realize our Warrior scheme. It would be a severe setback not only to the Warrior barge line, but also to the port of Mobile if this work was stepped and the support of it with ability to use them in development of river commerce and the bunkerage and export coal business at the port.
 We will not anticipate trouble, but we shall certainly hang on to what we have got, and to that end there will be resistance to any attempt that is made at this time to repeal the law that gives aid to development of the Warrior"
 Senator Underwood was asked what he thought of Germany's acceptance of the reparations ultimatum. Tt is the best thing from a business stand point since the signing of the armi- stice" he replied.
 What we need Is a market for our surplus products. That is not in ex- istance on account of the financial and political conditions arising since the war. We had an outlet for our sur plus during the war that was ab-

FOUND LIQUOR BURIED

Cant lives at North Birmingham
 and the testimony showed that g
 city officers had raided his home
 and had found some liquor buried
 in the back yard. However, 1t was
 shown that the officers had no
 search warrant or warrant for his
 arrest for violation of the law, and
 had entered his premises In his
 absence. According to this evil
 dence, the court gave the general
 charge to the jury for the defend-
 ant, and he was found not guilty.
 This is the first case to come un-
 der this ruling in the local court.
 and is being discussed on all sides.
 When no search warrant or other warrant has been sworn out, the su- preme court holds that if officers en- ter the premises of persons over the protest, objection or in the absence of the residents, no liquor or other evi- dence found which shows that the law has been violated can be used against the person, for no conviction can be based on that evidence" said Judge Fort.
 VIOLATES RIGHTS
 ''The United States supreme court holds that searching persons home or premises without a warrant is in violation of the fourth and fifth amendments to the constitution of the United States, in that it violates the rights of the people to be free from unreasonable searches.
 While this may handicap some of- ficers in their work, it is the law, and We who are sworn to uphold it can do but deliver the general charge when the evidence shows there was no warrant. The supreme court was in this ruling, and 1t is now the law. This should be a warning to officers to secure search warrant be- fore going to search the premises of 
 This case was appealed from the re- corder's court and the officers mak- ing the arrest did so without securing B warrant.
