FARM PRODUCTS
 MUST BE GRADED
 BEFORE MARKETED
P. 0. Davis of Auburn Talks on Marketing Hay and Hogs ard Other Products of
 the Farm

Alabama hay will not suffer from a restricted market and prejudices against it's use existing in some quar- ters when it leaves the farm graded and standardized and the consumer knows it is regularly so graded and standardized" said P. o. Davis of the Auburn experiment station.
 Like afl other commodities forcing their way on the modern market, Ala bama hay must come so regularly graded and standardized that the consumer knows just what he is getting before he attempts it's use.
 month, or about s750,00o worth per annum All but very little comes from the west It pays freight rate of $16 to s21 and still it sells here. The Alabama hay comes to the market vt a freight rate or g. .5d to s3.50, yet it experiences an uphill business. Down at Gallon and other points in the hay country they are go- ing into the grading and standardizing business in earnest.
 JOHNSON HAY Johnson hay is more nutritious than lli11OLny. mere IS no question dUOut it. The fact has been scientifically estab- lished The crux Is grading and stand ardizing. We are attending to that Bir- mingham and other jobbing centers are not to have excuse for not using John son hay. They will be made glad to use it.
 | T was on Morris avenue yesterday and SEW some potatoes coming from an Ala bama point. They were not in good con- dition, and therefore not salable. l un- derstand that if one rotten apple gets into a car shipped from Oregon they raise a row about it there before the car leaves for the east We should have some of these rows in Alabama before we ship farm produce
 ALABAMA HOGS I Last year the hog raisers of Alabama shipped 1125,00o worth of hogs through cooperative sales In many instances the hogs were bought by buyers who had 1 not seen them. In fact, that Is reg alar occurrence. The biggest markets in the country buy Alabama hogs put up at co-operative sale because the grades and standards have been established and are strictly adhered to.
 | "When grading and standardizing Is attended to rigidly at point of shipment the battle has been won. Just so soon as the cattle and hog markets of the west ern slaughter house centers learned that l Alabama cattle and hogs shipped to them were graded and standardized before they | left the scene of cooperative sale ana shipment they bought sight unseen. Ihey knew what they would get.

Welded
FOR FIFTY
YEARS

In this day and age, only few
people live in perfect unison and hap
piness together for a period of so
years. This has been the experience
and pleasure of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. T.
Rowland, who celebrated the 50th an
niversary of their welded life on Mon
day the 18th day of April, 1921. They
were married in Valligram, Limerick
County, Ireland, April 18th, 1871.
In the early part of July of the same
year they sailed from the land of
Shamrocks to the United States and
landed at Chicago, where they remain
ed for a few weeks.
After short residence in Chicago
they left for Amherst, Wis, where
they resided for about six months.
From there they moved to Buena Vista
where they lived for a year, after
which they moved to the Four Mile
Creek where they continued their resi-
dence for twenty years on a farm.
During this time Mr.. Rowland taught
school and also occupied the pulpit as
| pastor of the Methodist church.
In the year 1895, Mr.. and Mrs.
Rowland with their family, moved to
| this city where Mr.. Rowland changed
his vocation and bought the stock of
dry goods from the proprietor and
| owner, Chris Nilsson. The store was
located in the building which at the
present time is occupied by J. c. Pen
ney Co. They remained in that build
ing until 1911, when Mr.. Rowland
bought the property at the corner OF
First and Second streets, where he
erected the building which he now oc-
cupies.
Mr.. Rowland was county superin-
tendent of schools for four years. He
has served on the county board for
an extended length of time and was
again reelected for another term at
the recent election. Both Mr.. and Mrs
Rowland are numbered among the
substantial, honest and upright citi-
zens of this community, where they are
held in high esteem by all who know
them.
| Ten children have been born to Mr.
and Mrs. Rowland, eight of whom are
still living They are Robert and
William who are business partners of
| their father; Mrs. Elizabeth Muir
| gatroyd and Miss Mabel Rowland, all
of this city; Mrs. H. P. Jackson of
| Neenah, Harvey and George of Chi
cago, and Walter of Piedmont, Mon
tana. Besides their children they also
have ten grand children.
| They have many friends and neigh
bors in this city and county who ex-
tend to them the seasons greetings
for long and happy life. They are
| still able to be about and enjoy their
daily association with friends and rela-
tives.

DOG near
Death FROM CORD
LEFT ON NECK

WASHINGTON-For a year, Lion,
big shaggy animal, half sheep dog
and half st. Bernard, had been wasting
away He refused the most tempt
ing dishes and tottered around with
hanging head and glazed eyes. Veter-
inarians could do nothing for him.
So his owner took him to an animal
rescue league to be put out of his
misery.
An examination there disclosed that
the dog was slowly strangling to
DEATH A fish line which had been
tied about his neck when he was
puppy, was the cause. AS Lion grew
the flesh had closed over the cord,
which was buried from sight. The
string was removed by burning the
flesh that had grown around it. Lion
withstood the ordeal and today is
scampering around barking his ap-
probation of the discerning veterin-
arians.
