TEAM WORK SCORES
 REAL HOME RUN IN
 LAUDERDALE COUNTY

Florence, September 2S.-(Special) Cooperation or team work has scored a home run in Lauderdalo county and all of the people of the county are profiting thereby
 Last June cotton boil weevils be- gan appearing on the cotton in Lauderdale county in large numbers, and County Agent J. T. High ex- plained the seriousness of the situa- ton to the directors of the Lauder dale county farm bureau at their meeting early in July. After much discussion and many suggestions q practical plan was suggested, which was that each director should re- turn to his community, call the farmers together and secure their interest in destroying the boil weevils in united way.
 On the following Monday night, E community meetings were held in the county and six or eight addi- tional meetings were held during the following few days. So many people were talking boil weevil destruction that some of the ministers mem toned it in the pulpits.
 In every part of the county people could be seen picking up and, de- stroying infested squares, and 1t is carefully estimated that 80 per cent of the farmers entered into this movement. Numerous estimates by conservative and reliable people of the county now indicate that the farmers have been paid for this work by at least a 10 per cent larger crop or more than 1.250 bales. which at 20 cents per pound, means $125,000 plus the seed.
 The Lauderdale county farm bu- reau in cooperation with MT. High, is now putting into practice a perma- nent system of soil fertility, in- cluding winter legumes, proper TO- tations, live stock, etc., and also es- tablishing an efficient method of marketing. and it is thought that the results will be as satisfactory as they were in destroying boil wecvils.

SEES VICTORY FOR
 PORT AMENDMENT
Will Be Adopted If Again Sub- mitted to Voters, Thomp-
 son Thinks

Mobile, September 2S.-(Special.)- That the port aid amendment to the state constitution will be adopted if again submitted to he voters of Ala bama, is the opinion of Joseph o. Thompson of Birmingham. who is in Mobile on business connected with the American Cotton congress.
 From my observation and the sen timent l hear expressed in all parts of the state, I believe the people are ready and willing for the state to take over and develop the port of Mobile." MT. Thompson stated today. They realize that their cotton and many of the other products of the field must find markets in foreign countries, and as Mobile is the only port in the state, and the one near est to them. they are looking to Mo bile as their outlet.
 "The people of the state are be- coming more progressive. The yare Joking to the future more than ever, and they are in mood to work and build for the future. In order to handle the outgoing or incoming freight the port must be equipped with freight handling facilities and devices, with warehouses and eleva- tors, with wharves and sheds and railway switches. No port can ex- pect or hope to secure business un- less it provides itself with these. Other ports that have been developed by men of vision are getting the business. and they will continue to do so. To keep up with the process sion Mobile must equip herself.
 Conditions were not favorable when the port aid amendment was voted on last November, and yet it lacked but a few thousand votes of winning. With an intensive and in telligent campaign preceding the election at which 1t will be submit ted again there is no doubt in my mind but 1t will be ratified by the people"
