lined BRACE. TALKS ABOUT THE PRACTICAL
i TEST OF MAKING PAPER OF ALABAMA WOOD

Age Herald to make the actual test
and to prove, against the advice of all
the northern mills, 1.-THE southern woods
make equally good newsprint paper
as that made from the northern wood.
1t is the old story repeating itself
when the northern manufacturers Of
steel declared that steel could not be
made from southern ores and coke.
Yet it has been proven that the steel
plant of the Tennessee company right
here in Birmingham makes equally
good steel as that produced any-.shess
else in the world.
So 1t will be with not only newsprint
paper but with all sorts of wrapping
paper, and there is no reason why
within ten years there should not be
sufficient paper mills in the south to
supply the southern market with all
characters of paper
A mill producing so tons of paper a
day will cost in the neighborhood of
100000, but when it is realized that
southern wood can be delivered at the
mill for one-fourth the price being
paid by the northern mills, with coal
much cheaper here than in the north
ern New York and Maine mills, 1T can
readily be seen what an advantage
the southern mills will have over the
northern ones.

Several rolls of the newsprint paper
made from Alabama spruce pine wood
are now on exhibit in the business Of

ested IN such things are invited to in
spect 1t. The entire public will see
what it is in practical use possibly
some time during this week.

Herald to print an issue upon within
few days. when the public ma
judge the quality of paper made from
Alabama spruce pine-well known to
natives of North Alabama as a product
which has heretofore been entirely ig-
nored.
The writer has sent samples of this
wood to several other mills with tho
request that they give 1t the most Sc
we're tests In the event that it proves
equal to the first test The Age Herald
proposes to be the chief factor in build
ing an extensive paper manufacturing
plant somewhere on the Warrior
rivera plant which will consume so
cords of wood day and produce at
least so tons of newsprint paper each
day at the outset 1t will be with a
view to increasing its capacity to 100
tons a day after the first year.
Surveys are now being made to as
certain the exact amount of timber
available for period OF several score
years.
When it is realized that the newspa-
pers-daily and weekly-sof Birming-
ham consume more than 10000 tons of
paper year and that the freight rate
from Warrior river points Is 1Sc per
100 pounds, as compared with S5c per
100 pounds from the northern mills. it
can be seen what an advantage a mill
located on the Warrior river will be.
1t will have similar low rates to Mo-
bile, New Orleans and Montgomery
and the water rate to St. Louis ard
other Mississippi river cities.

Armenian Avenged


Slaughter of Countrymen
11r7HE trials of Germany's war Grim
u inals may be farce, but the ac-
quittal of the young Armenian stu
dent who killed Talaat Pasha will be
accepted the world over as just.
Talaat was safe from legal punish
ment. Living luxuriously in Berlin,
he could look back on his career as a
butcher with the satisfaction known
only to his type, the utterly heartless
Turk who regards the massacre of
Christians, particularly Armenian
Christians, as a laudable enterprise.
Taking the lives Of human beings
meant no more to him than swatting
flies.
Professor Lepsius, the eloquent
Armenian who defended Teilirian in
the Berlin assize court, told sicken-
ing story Of the treatment given his
countrymen at Talaat's order--of 10
and 20 Armenians frequently tied
together and drowned, of thousands
massacred and dying Of starvation and
exhaustion, women and children who
were the victims of Turkish brutality.
These revelations were not new,
but they more than justified the deed
of the young Armenian who avenged
the death Of his own mother and the
massacre of 100000 Armcnians. He
was not an assassin. He was the in
strument of higher power sent to
remove a monster who was unfit to
live.

FARM STATISTICS A
RECORD FOR STUDENT
UNIVERSITY HEADS COLLECT
INFORMATION IN COUNTRY
REGARDING COSTS.

To show the actual cost of growing
bushel of wheat, oats, barley or
cas-, records have been taken on 25S
Palouse farms this summer by repre-
sentatives of Washington State col
lege, the University of Idaho and the
United States department of agricul-
ture, cooperating Costs of harvest
ing these crops with>a binder and with
a combine also are being compiled and
compared.
Similar figures on 210 Twin Falls
county farms have been collected by
investigators for the University of
Idaho
This summers study is the second
in a three-year project. Figures that
have been collected are now being
tabulated. Last years figures show
ed that the cost of producing bushel
of wheat in Latah county, Idaho, and
Whitman county, Washington, ranged
from 80 cents to "a. The $4 man was
one whose crop was hailed out, while
while the 80 cent men were several
who produced heavy yields of grain
on land that had just grown a crop
of peas.
THE problem here, of course" said
one of the Investigators, lis utilization
of the peas"
Announcements of conclusions from
this years figures, it was stated,
probably will be ready in the spring.
The first years study showed that the
average cost of raising bushel of
winter wheat in the Palouse district
was $1.63; of spring wheat, $183; and
of all wheat, $1.69.
Average size of 158 farms studied
in Latah and Whitman counties last
year was 297 acres The average farm
capital was $45,978. Average re-
ceipts were S8421; average expenses,
1886; farm income $4525. After
paying the farmer for his labor, this
income represented 76 on the invest
ment.
Statistics on the Palouse district
were collected this summer by Earl d.
Strait, representing the federal gov
ernment, Ralph R. Rowell, univer-
sity student, also employed by the gov
ernment; Byron Hunter, farm man
agement investigator, University of
Idaho; Reuben johnson of Idaho Falls,
a University of Idaho graduate; Prof
George Severance of the Washington
State college faculty; and E. R. john
son, a student at Washington State
college.
Twin Falls statistics were collected
by Mr. Hunter; G. c. Taylor, farm

ture; and R. R. Rowell and Ralph
