AN oBJECT LESSON IN
 ADVANTAGE OF CATTLE

Washington, July S0.-(Specia.:) The department of agriculture finds that whereas cotton farmers are IT the power of money lenders, oa1rg farmers in the south are prosperihs It is the departments contention thr this should prove an object lesson :. the farmer, generally, anu 'o eno banker of the south.
 The following statement, based on conditions in Mississippi, is issued to- day:
 "A comparison of the financial con dition of dairy farmers and dairy communities with cotton farmers ana cotton communities in Misslssippi hrings out the fact that while so or oO per cent of the cotton farmers owe the banks money and are askihs for extensions on their notes, there are alr1fost no instances Of notes held against dairy farmers. The mer chants in towns surrounded py the hest dairy communities report thelr business throughout last fall anu winter as remarkably good.
 This statement is made on the au- thority of the extension dairy nus bandman who for nearly 10 years has engaged in the movement carried on by the United States repartment oi agriculture in that state and furnish the farmers with source Of income after the boil weevil had reduced the production of the south's great sta pie.
 .'To farmers these facts should lend encouragement to break away from the one-crop system, the speclalis' says: to the bankers and business men they should be convincing prool that greater farm prosperity. at tained by a more permanent and con structive type of farming, benefits the entire community.

MANY REQUESTS
 OF KILBY AS ID THE EXTRA SESSION
Some Parties Even Suggest the Date of the Call, But Kilby Will Not Over
 load Calendar
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age-Hernld 22t-2 First National Bank Building

 Montgomery, July S0-(Special.)- )-- As August, the month which public opinion has set as the time for tho extra session of the Alabama legis- lature, approaches, Governor Kilby is receiving Fh increasing number-of re- quests for the inclusion of. subjects In his call for the session. It became known during the week that the governor had been urged to include many new subjects, but that he had informed all callers that if he decided to call the legislature it would be his desire and intention to place in the call only the subjects which de- mand the immediate attention of the jects of legislation to the regular ses- sion which will begin in January, 1923
 Governor Kilby has not announced to the public that the law makers will be called during August, but he has held conferences with a large num- Der of members of the two houses. has informed various persons that it
 
 and has deferred his annual vacation. Putting all things together, public opinion has reached the conclusion that the legislature will be called. and chat it will be in session before the end of August.
 Have Set Date
 Many persons have gone so far as to set the date for the session. The first report was that the meeting would begin August g. It was then moved up to August 16. and now there is no definite date. The story this week has been that the governor de- sires the presence of Senator A. H. Carmichael of Colbert and Ernest E. ,Fite, repre esentative frem Marion, both of whom were engaged in the case .of Sergt. Robert Lancaster at Eamil- ton during the first part of the week, and that the law makers would not be assembeled until it was certain they could attend. Since the cases were postponed, it has developed that Senator Carmichael will be engaged In an important case at Russellville, Franklin county, during the week which will begin August 15 In so far as is.>known, Senator CarmichaeIs imperative engagements do not run beyond that week.
 Few Subjects in Call
 It is doubtful that Governor Kilby will include any subject in his call which might be a source for great controversy and delay. He desires a short session and he has the assur- ence of great majority of the legis- lators that they also desire to com plete the session as soon as possible. While there has been much discus sion about including Sunday observ- ance and the legalization of the sale of cereal beverages in the call. it is considered extremely doubtful that either subject will be recommended to the legislature for consideration now.
 While some small subjects which have not come to public notice may be included. it is considered probable that Governor Kilby will confine the call to the resumbission of the road bond amendment, the resubmission of the ex-service mems poll tax amend ment and the resubmission of the Mobile port amendment.

stated He asked that a substitute be introduced, which, in addition to caring for agriculture, would care also for the railroads of the country. His proposed substitute would pro- vide authority for the taking over by the war finance corporation, of $500, GOO, 900 worth of railroad securl- ties.
 There was never a question but that the administration would en- compass the defeat of the Norris bill. There was never a question, in other words, but that the substi- tute prepared by Senator Kellogg, in accordance with the wishes of the President, would prevail.
 But at ths juncture, the agrarian bloc presented itself The bloc, act ing through subcommittee coTa- posed of Senators Harrison of Mis- sissippi, Smith of South Carolina, and McNary of Oregon, prepared substi- tute for the substitute.
 A Substitute
 The substitute for the substitute would insure the enactment of all the features of the Norris bill held to he necessary for the best interest ot az riculture. If the bloc puts over it's substitute, and manages to weather the administration storm in the House and in conference, it will, Of course, have proved itself strongsr than the administration.
 If the bloc succeeds, 1t will be sig nificant not only of the waning ln- fluence of the administration, pu' prophetic of the downfall of the re- publican party
 Senator Norris was deeply offended when the President moved against his net scheme, He was humiliated. His pride of authorship was 1nd!s- putably hurt.
 Senator Norris, incidentally, was the moving spirit in the revolt or tae republicans against the rule of Sneaker Cannon in the House eight years ago. i
 He feels that the administration IS against him. So feels Senator Borah. Senator Norris Is the greatest posAi- bility for real disaffection in the re publican party. Senator Borah IS inc greatest single handed force in Congress.
 So, If the agrarian bloc is viceo- rious, what will prevent Senators Borah and Norris forming an alliance with the democratic forces for the downfall of the Harding administra- tion?
 The bloc feels that it will be suc- cessful. But the test has not yet occurred. Democratic observers are on the alert. They see the possi- bility of Norris and Borah bringing about democratic success in 1924.

Washington, July 3O.-(Special.) Is the so-ca1led agricultural bloc stronger in the Senate than the ad- ministration?
 Individual members of the bloc declare that the bloc Is stronger. The test soon comes. As result of the test, the value of the administra- tion to the people of the United States may be determined.

FOOD CROPS INCREASE
 WITH USE OF LESS FERTILIZER

Washington, July 30.-(Special.) The south is turning it's back on cotton, and is giving greater atten- tion than ever before to food crops, according to statement of the de- partment of agriculture issued to- day. The statement IS based on an official compilation of acreage.
 The cotton producing states of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Lou isiana, Texas, Oklahoma apd Arkan- sas have cut their cotton 10,194,0a acres, or 2S per cent, from last year. Regarding this reduction, the depart

 "A change of per cent in the countrywide acreage of major crop is unusual, 10 per cent is rare, and 15 per cent is unknown except under extraordinary circumstances.
 Food Crops Increase
 About SO per cent of the reduced acreage has been devoted to fooa crops. Corn shows a gain of 4,52l' 'ooV acres, or IS per cent; wheat, 6OIOOO acres. or 10 per cent; oats, 740,0OO acres, or 13 per cent; hay, 4lS,oUg acres, or 5 per cent; sorghum ana cane. 79,0O0 acres, or 10 per cent; and potatoes, 123,000 acres, or lu per cent.

 Southern states have reduced TIE acreage 100000 acres, or Ss per cent tobacco. 262. 900 acres, or 32 per cent. Unsatisfactory prices for the crop oi last wear are held responslple. Alabama shows a smaller reduction of cotton acreage than any other state, but corn Is planted in with the cotton, the department was able to ascerain.

The acreage reduction of 2S per cent does not indicate what the production Will De in comparison with the proouctloi, last year For the fertilizer useu last year has been greatly reduceo, ranging from an estimate or ~ per cent in certain states to 50 per cent in others.
