SWEET CLOVER IS A HELP 10 FARMERS

Auburn, June 11.-(Special.)- )--In the opinion of F. F.

 Mir. Boyd recently returned from Newborn where he attended a meet ing of this association and held conference with it's president. J. G.

PROBABLE CAUSES
 OF MANY SUICIDES
Diyorces, Congested Living Conditions and Eighteenth
 Amendment Blamed
By As.ooIated Pres.

New York, June, ne,11.--Divorces, com gested living conditions. and enact ment of the eighteenth amendment are given as probable cause for the alarming increase in the number of suicides in 1920. according to reports received by officers of the Save-a-LIfe league with offices In this city. pr. F. l.. Hoffman, statistician of the organization, estimates the number at not less than 12,OOo. of these TO- ported cases TOT were children, he said, the boys averaging 15 years. the girls Is.
 Rev. Harry warren, president of the league, also declared that restric- tons in sale of narcotic drugs helped to swell the total of unfortunates who died by their own hands.
 Dr. Warren cites many trivial causes as the impelling force for suicide, One man was distressed because his new suit did hot have enough but. tons on tho sleeves of the coat. An other man rebelled at eating a lem on pie his wife had constructed out of turnips and glucose. A youth killed himself because he vas asked to eat ham and eggs for supper. A woman became morbid because her husband refused to partake of her clam chow der. couple disputed over whether the bedroom window should bc opened an inch or not less than two feet at night. The wife's argument pre- vailed and the man killed himself.
 Many of the suicides reported were among prosperous individuals and Dr. Hoffman argues that no>>one basic reason can be assigned for the sui cidal increase.

 Our investigations have convinced us that the farmers of Alabama were in earnest when they announced dur ing the winter and early spring that they intended to cut their cotton acreage" said Mir. Allgood. The cot- ton acreage has been cut and we have found that thosands of acres which have been planted in. cotton in the past have been planted this year in corn, sweet potatoes, hay and other commodities which the people of Ala bama have been forced to purchase in other states in years gone by. The department of agriculture Is con- vinced that If good weather condi- tions prevail during the next few weeks, this state will establish an agricultural record of which all the people will be proud. There are many signs now that there will be no need this fall for thousands of dollars to be sent out of Alabama for sup plies. All we need now is favorable e weather, including rains in many sections"

speculation, but there Is little doubt that Mir Gompers will be reelected by large vote. Concessions will be made to the progressives in matters of policy it Is expected, and perhaps one or two of the progressive fac -ticn may win places on the execu- tive committee.
 The attitude of Mir. Gompers and his ddherents is understood to be conciliatory but his staunch packers protest that the leadership of the federation in the rast year is tll that could have been asked. They frown upon the projects of progressives to establish banks, cooperative shops. stores and the like, on the ground that labor is, in entering the business field, sitting In the other fellows game" with the cards stacked againss it. Some of the more progressive unions, they argue. have spread taeir funds out too thin and are indulging in too many activities.
 In any event, the convention prom ises to be about the most interesting the federation has held In years, and there will be tremendous pressure exerted toward the initiation of a Constructive" programme designed to make labor less dependent on the ordinary mechanism of the world

ATTENDANCE LARGE AT THE FLORENCE NORMAL
 WITH LITTLE SUPPORT

Florence, June .--(Special. 1.-The just begun a summer session, with the largest attendance in it's history While students are, arriving on every train, the enrolment is well above 700. A large percentage of men is noted among them. The two ouild- ings used for classrooms are wholly inadequate. The City High school, nearby, with its excellent equipment. Is being used and a number of tents on the campus are in use as class roems. The homes of the city have bcarders while the schools big dim ing room, converted into a cafeteria, is feeding about 500 teachers daily.
 This is the answer which the teachers of Alabama are making to the public demand for more eff ciency in the schoolroonn. Let 1t be remembered in this connection that the four normal schools of Alabama dic tnC Ouly StdtC-SopPOItOu iuctith- tions conducting summer schools. to which the legislature has never ap- appropriated a penny for the main tenance CT a summer school The student Teachers themselves have to pay fees to meet the cost of their instruction. They don't even have free scholarships maintained for the poor selfsacrificing teachers who are trying to prepare themselves for a more efficient service.
 With two exceptions among the 4s states. the normal schools of Ala bama are the most poorly supported financially, of any in the United States. And yet, the average tax payer seems not to understand why Alabama makes such a poor showing In the scale of literacy.
 Some time, but nobody knows when, these teacher-training insti- tutions may receive consideration at the hands of the Alabama legisla- ture.

ter 1t is possible to select the corn
and leave it in q sack or basket

corn terminate satisfactorily the

that the seed will be injured by
the extent that 1t will not grow and
produce good, strong. stalks capable
Of bearing two or three ears. This
damage to the seed itself may not

Quently, If the examination test is
run in the spring and high per-
ccntage found, the farmer will bs
inclined to believe his seed corn is
in perfect condition. AS an exeam-
pie Of this various tests have beeu
run and it has been found that
wherever the seed corn was placed
in good dry storage it had yielded
much better than when left in the
CRIB under ordinary conditions. In
one case 400 ears were divided into
two equal parts, one part being we'll

the barn. The we'll cared for seed
giving an increased yield Of about

barn. This is undoubtedly sufficient
increase to warrant the farmer In

farmers of Kentucky learned to APP
