 For. years have been doing what i could to boost the cattle game Tn Alabama. and since coming on The ] Age-Herald have had it's hearty sup port in my efforts. This is why the great showing at the flair gave me such a genuine personal pleasure.
 The one sad feature of the suc- cess was that my old partner, Fred Jones. of Livingston. at one time president of the Southern Cattlemen's association, and always heart and soul in the welfare of a larger and better live stock production, had passed to his reward.
 Bob Scale was on hand from Liv- ingston, however and the best posted man in America on the pedigrees of shorthorns; and Frank I. Derby, the only one of his kind, was here and with some of Fred's fat steers on ex- hibition In the show ring and on sale at the auction, Sumter county as usual being in tho forefront
 merely mention these because of all the exhibitors at the fair I have been more closely associated with them than with many other Alabam- ians who were present with good showings. I was glad that Judge J. T. stokely made such a fine show ing with his herd from Demopolis. hope some day John Dunnaway from the Dallas farms will come to Bir- mingham with his Herefords, Jerseys and Durocs.
 l do not know why E. NJ. Allen was out of the game this year. for here tofore he has sent in some mighty line specimens in two classes. There Is one Birmingham man who is always doing what he can for the cattle in- dustry, and that is Robert Jemison ST. He said at the cattlemen's ban quet the other night at the Hillman that he is the owner of Woodrow Will son, the famous grand champion Of the Red Cross bull sale, by chance. He meant that when the public spirited citizens who bought, tried to give him to Frank Derby. who would not accept him, that they drew for him and he held the lucky number.
 Bob Jemison, Jr., like his father, is q cattle lover, but his fancy runs to Jerseys. Bob Is interested with Hugh Praytor, another Jefferson county boy. In the Liberty Farms near Truss Vile, and both of them may well be proud of their herds winnings. Il was glad to see that Burgin, Tribble and Riddle, all residents of the i'm perial" county. took home ribbons With them. I happened to see Bur gins famous 3-year-old COW win in a hot contest. She went up against the best in the south and got first. There were, other winners, but just happen to recall the ones mentioned
 
 I saw my friend, Will Teague. here. He Is the Montgomery business man who has made such a success in the farming and cattle game. His sale of Durocs Is always eagerly looked for and Is feature of the Union Stock Yards, over which my friend. Harry Snow, presides. Harry was up here and was greatly interested in the va rious cattle and hog exhibits at the fair.
 The banquet of the cattlelnen at the TutwileF on Wednesday night was the greatest getting together the breeders have ever had in the state and was noteworthy on account of Is being "fifty-fifty" proposition between the beef and the Jersey men. They are beginning to see that tho best thing for both is to talk better and more cattle and not waste time In trying to decide which Alabama most needs.
 
 The cattle Judges at the fair were fine bunch of good fellows and worked hard. Messrs. Wentworth, Good, Cooper and Lee made many friends. The visitors were good sports. Bill Burnett, Less" Wat kins and Harry Snow each sub scribed sioo toward a fund to match President Browns offer of s5,ooo in premiums for next year Bob Bell was the life of the Jersey men and Put on a good sale. The fat steer sale owed much to Frank Derby and Capt. Jack Phillips. These two latter were on the job night and day.
