NH hOptt Shlu ~ NdS uStiSS9 SO talk about getting the young men of toda. to go to the farms until farm ing as an occupation has become profitable. He welcomed the idea quarters in Birmingham in order that they may work for the farmers of the state.
 Business Mems Interest
 tension connected with the depart ment of agriculture, spoke of the need of having business men inter- csted In farming. He said that the outgrowth of the work of the farm extension department of the federal government. He said that it is practically impossible for the gov ernment demonstration agents ln the Various counties to do effective work without organization among tho farmers. Agents can best teacn the farmers in groups, he declared.
 Mir. Duncan said the Farm Bureau federation is~a nonpolitical, nonpar- tisun org ahization. and all that it pretends to do is to look after the business interests of the farmers. It is now organized in 12 counties, and the time has come. he said, when the need of a state organiza- ton with a strong general head . quarters has been felt

 Roy C. Bishop, specialist in orgdn- | s,xx l. 4 .ls., sion service, spoke of the fact that next to the industries, Birmingham gets most of her wealth from trad- ing with the neighboring farms, and said that the city gets between S20,- 000,00l and $25,U00,000 d Year from this source.
 Mir Bishop said the principal farm needs in the state at the present lime are "a paramount system of soil fer tility, diversification of crops, tnsro- ductiion of dairying and cattle sais- ing and the development of system of marketing. He said these hings can only come about through organ ization.
 Speaking of the diversification work being done in Madison county, Mir. Bishop said the farmers there are now making $50 an acre off of soy beans, which cost only half as much to produce as cotton would cost oa the same land, and formerly they only made $25 an acre off of cotton. The difference In the two crops, from the point of view of the land. was that the beans built up the soil and the cotton exhausted it.
 Money In Hogs
 Geneva county shipped 500 cars of hogs last year, Mir. Bishop said and greatly prospered because of this in- dustry. He said not a county in the state but could raise hogs with a IiOfit. Alabama could be developed into dairying state, surpassing Wis., consin, he added.
 Diversification is impossible with out an adequate marketing system. and marketing will be one of the chief purposes of the Headquarters of the Farm Bureau federation here. The oi ganization could assist In bringing about standardization of Alabama products which could make 1t pos sible for their sale at better prices.

building of roads.

fully the commission awarded the
contract to build the road from Pros

located and does not cross the rail-
read at all after leaving the crossing
near the residence oe Dir. j. c. Sing

ably complete the arrangement as

other Indebtedness of the county will
not be paid until after the investiga-
ton committee gets on it's work, and

TRIBUTES PAID
TO CHAMP CLARK
SIMPLE SERVICES HELD IN
HOUSE
Members of Congress Join in Telling
of Esteem in Which Leader.
Was Held.

Washington, March 5.-As simply
as the man they eulogized had lived,
his fellows of the house of repre-
sentatives said the last farewell to-
day to Champ Clark of Missouri.
The body of the fallen champion,
dragged down at last by the weight
of years, lay in peaceful slumber IN
the chamber where echoes of his
voice seemed still to eddy and whisper
in memory of his long years Of SER
vice. And about it mourned men OF
every walk, high or low, among whom
he had moved in fellowship a few
short days ago.
Tonight, guarded by last honor
ing escort of his colleagues in the
house and senate, the body was being
taken by special train back to Mis-
souri,, there to rest among home folk
from whom he sprung. But some
thing of his spirit brooded still about
the empty halls Of the capitol dedl-
Gated to the principle that the people
rule alone.
"He stood four square to the
world" Senator Reed said Of the dead
leader in adding the confirmation OF
the senate to the tribute Of the house.
''Upon his country's altar he placed
the whole wealth Of his magnificent
talents, the zeal of youth, the ener-
gy of middle life, the wisdom of old
age"
And the same thought had come
to Representative Mann Of Illinois,
speaking for a membership whose
sorrow knew no partisan restraint.
"His memory will remain as an in
aueuce in the house and the country"
he said, @'his voice shaken with emo
ton for an old warm friend from
whom he was parting. Those who
knew him best, loved him best, and
yet there are millions who never saw
his countenance, who never heard his
magnetic voice, who never in time Of
personal need received his counsel!
they, too, loved him."
There was little more to the cere-
mony than that, just the flower drap-
ed coffin before the speakers desk
and the massed flowers bearing the
sympathy of men and women known
the nation over grouped about it, the
solemn comfort of an old hymn or
two, the halting prayer of the aged
chaplain emeritus and the row on row
of sorrowing friends. Black robed
judges of the supreme court, cabinet
officers, diplomats, senators, generals
and admirals and the full member
ship Of the house were on the floor,
their sympathy centering on the
dropping figure of Mrs. Clark.
And at the end with the quiet face i
of the dead exposed, deep craven
with his last suffering hours, long |
lines filled all aisles to file silently by
and gaze upon, lines in which sena-
tors and cabinet officers moved at
elbow with humber folk who work
about the great building, lines that
wrote in human documents the dem
ocracy that Champ Clark had lived
and preached.
