AGENTS WORK ON
 SOIL FERTILITY
Seize Every Opportunity to Push Work Along This Line as It Is Foundation to
 Farming

Auburn, July Special )-Real- izing that soil fertility is after all fundamentally the great basic agrt- cultural problem, the county demon- stration agents of Alabama are now working on this problem as never be- fore, and are preparing to increase their efforts along this line whenever an opportunity will permit them to do SO. This is made known in the recent reports from the county agents themselves
 Wherever there Is a county farm bureau it naturally accelerates the improving of the soil, along with other agricultural problems; and taking the lead in this the Lauder dale county farm bureau, under the leadership of County Agent J, T. High, has just sent its soil-improv- ing committee into all parts of the county, making a survey of the sotl conditions, and finding that many farms in Lauderdale county are in an unprofitable condition, due to washing, teaching and clean cultiVa- ton. This is doubtless true in all other counties of the state, and to improve these farms and at the same time retain the fertility of fertile soils, the following recommendations are made First, terrace all sloping lands that show washing in any form; second, establish rotation sys- tems which include such crops as will add fertility; third, SOW winter cover crops.' such at rye, oats, bur clover, crimson clover, vetch, etc, for turning under; fourth, SOW cowpeas between corn rows; fifth, judicious use of commercial fertilizer
 Soil fertility work similar to that being done in Lauderdale county Is now either under way or being planned in Etowah. Montgomery, Hale, Geneva. Limestone. Calhoun and Pike counties-all of which have farm bureaus. and in addition county agents in counties having no farm bureaus are also stressing soil inn proving methods. In one week w.

For Good of
 the Community

A NEW factory means that more men A are to be employed and earn their daily bread with the sweat of their brow.
 It stands first for the necessities of life; for meat and clothes and for roof over the head Were that all, they would scarcely be worth while.
 Mere living is not the mission of man and he is not content with bodily comfort only. The spirit in him reaches out for ex- pansion. The trademark of his being is progress toward the unlimited.
 Man loses none of his aboriginal strength by acquisition of more than llv- ing. The nations that love peace the most are the stoutest fighters when fight they must. They have something to fight for.
 The invincible host is that with an ideal. Mahomet built his empire on the ruins of idolatry. He gave his followers something better than they had before. That his successors have allowed the de- cadence of what he established is owing to their standing by and taking no part in the progress of the world.
 That Alabama is really progressing is shown in the building of churches and schools and in the work it is doing for the preservation of racial strength and the advancement of the young.
 The home for the feeble-minded that is being built at Tuscaloosa attests the humanity of Alabama and it's recognition of the claims of it's people for the per petuation of stalwart manhood and WomanfTOOd.
 Tke improvements that are being in- stalled at the insane hospital reflect the civilized mans consideration of the un- fortunate. Savages allow these to wan der about and find their homes in caves. The enlightened man assumes the burden of their keep in comfort.
 The Masonic Temple in Birmingham stands for the imperishable element in men which bids them follow ideals in the mass
 The churches that are rising here and elsewhere are proof of the hope eternal that leads men to keep going on toward immortality.
 The auditorium that we are to build represents the dainty element, in our womankind That frets the male ever and anon, because it is reminder to him that he tends to the hard and the the coarse, but he would not be without the voice of conscience that woman sup plies. He wants to be decent and woman keeps him so.
 They are rebuilding Conner hall at Auburn and adding several structures to the complement of the state university campus. As time rolls on the halls of the Alabama legislature shall ring less and less with the oratory that would seek to make distinction between the common school and those where the people have the opportunity of enabling their sons and daughters to rise to the top.
 Certainly there will be less of this de- structive oratory on the part of men who have themselves benefited by their col legiate and university training.

were in the car and, according to the

Police Believe Boy Was Carried
Away While He Was Play

Detectives Of the Italian squad, be-
lieving that Giuseppe Varotta. the
italian boy whose kidnapping and
murder is still the chief talk of the
neighborhood where he lived. was car
ried away from his Thirteenth street
doorstep while he was playing there on
the afternoon on May "a. have been
carrying on an intensive search for
possible witnesses of the kidnapping.
Detective Sergeant Fiaschetti, chief
the men already arrested Is directly re-
sponsible for Giuseppe's disappear
ance, and he is working now to find
some one who can make a positive
Identification Of the suspect
Although the neighborhood gossips of
354 East Thirteenth street. where the
Varotta family lives, talk and gesticu
late about the case very freely among
themselves it Is believed that fear of
the men who carried out the crime has
made IL impossible for the police to get
hold of the definite information which
undoubtedly exists.
If Giuseppe was carried away at about
o'clock in the afternoon. as his mother
thinks likely. the street must have been
crowded with other children. In their
effort to ascertain the circumstances of
the boys disappearance, the detectives
have questioned closely all his play
mates and the older children who live in
the street, as we'll as the shopkeepers
and women who are at home through the
day. All this questioning has led to very
little so far.
Another angle which is giving the po-
lice trouble Is the question of where
the boy was taken Immediately after the
kidnapping. They are searching thor
oughly the possibility that he may have
been held in Nyack for several days be-
fore he was drowned.
Several days ago the detectives re-
ceived letter from Judge L. c. Car
penter of Highland Falls, In which he
said that on June little boy had been
observed in an automobile at Highland
Falls. riding with two young Italians.
The child was reported to be about the
age Of the Varotta boy. He was crying
and seemed very unhappy. The police
have been able to get only vague de-
scriptions OF these men and the automo-
bile.
