 It is alleged by complainants that on account of the provisions in their lease contracts to screen their places of business and in all instances the use of screens would subserve, no good purpose, and would occasion a useless outlay of money on their part and would drive away trade.

County Agent Says Planters Have Saved Money and Raised Many Side

Farmers of the Tennesse valley have fine crops coming on, have raised these crops at least cost, have plenty of labor at reasonable wage! and are optimistic over the prospect according to H. L. Brown, formel county agent, just back from a visi to that section.
 The farmers of the Tennessee valley have big cotton crop and it is in fine shape" said Mir. Brown Corn also is good. Ow- ing to the fine state of cultiva- tion in the Tennessee valley the cotton plant beat the boil weevil to it. The bolls were formed so rapidly that the weevn could not eat up to squares.

 "What I say Is true of Nor gan. Lawrence, Colbert and Lau- derdale counties, and I heard the same reports from Madison. The Tennessee valley will give the. usual good account of itself.
 :As far as that goes, crops all over Alabama areain fair to ex- cellent condition and have been raised at minimum cost. Farm CTS have gotten more cash money in between times than ever be- fore for fruits, vegetables and butterfat, and have bought more supplies comparatively and at bottom-rock prices.
 "The Tennessee valley Is es- pecially well off, but Alabama farmers as a whole will make better showing this fall than has been expected, and, wherever l have been, their faces are for ward"

SMrs. c. H. Mathis of Gadsden was in Birmingham yesterday and had specimens of beautiful, big, luscious red apples grown on her farm in Etowah county. The va- riety was Wilson June Red.

 am convinced Alabama needs an awakening to tho value of growing fruit, The conditions are ideal and every tree set out adds just that much to the value of the land. The Rotary and Ki- wanis clubs in Gadsden asked me to talk to them the other day about the success of fruit growing as demonstrated on my farm and some time want to come down here to Birmingham and tell some of your business men just what can be done in growing fruit. What can bs done in Etowah can be done in Jefferson or practically any other county of Alabama.
 Tt is essential for us to get away from cotton. Fruit is one of the best routes to take in our. journey. A lot of things can be done if people are only shown. l have sometimes been asked what can be grown on an acre of ground in Alabama that will feed q family. l will tell you because I have done it myself and know what 1 am talking about:

 "One acre Is 70 yards each way and can best be laid off in 51 rows three feet apart and 21 rows ls feet apart, making 72 rows for crop.
 Plant 17 of the 3-foot rows in sorghum for syrup. It should make over 10 gallons
 Plant IT rows in early corn for meal It should make 13 bushels of meal, also plant late COW peas with the corn, which should make a bushel and a half of dry peas.
 Plant eight rows in early d.. Il. .-i,.. l. 10 bushels and come off in time to grow a second crop on the land
