RAIL GAINS AND COAL OUTPUT.
Few Mines Have Reopened, Geological
Survey Reports.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL The geo
logical survey, in a statement made yes
terday celebrating on the report on total
production for the last week issued Sat
urday. said that sthe addition to the
coal supply from mines that have re
opened is small, although four weeks
have elapsed since the invitation to re
sumo production was extended. There
have been only very small gains in a few
of the stronger organized districts. and
the increase in shipments reported for
this week has come from those districts
in which production was curtailed by
traffic congestion during July.
Because the strike has eurtailed
shipments to the three northern ports,
New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore,
the cumulative tidewater movement
from Jan. l to July 81 was much below
normal. Shipments during the first seven
months of 1922 were % per cent less
than the average for the corresponding
period in the three years preceding. The
chief element in the decrease was a sharp
decline in exports. Shipments to New
England were greater than in any of the
three years preceding, because of the
effort of New England consumers to OBJ
tain water-borne coal. TO replace dwin-
ding all-rail shipments"

 Q.-Is cotton seed meal good thing to feed chickens on? Mrs. B., Ensley.
 Alt should not be fed alone, as very indigestible to poultry, but when moderately used with other more digestible proteins, good results may be accomplished.
 Q.-Are soy beans ever affected with the weevil? J. H. w., R. F. D., Boaz.
 A.-Many writers make the state ment that they are not, but as a matter of fact, they do sometimes show the weevil, but not often.
 Q.-Can you plant soy beans in the same furrow and ct the same time as corn? w. B.. R. F. D., Lin- ccln.
 Alt would be permissible only If shallow covering Is made. Soy beans should not be covered as deep as the ordinary practice with corn.

ADDITIONAL FUNDS IMPE ERATIVE FOR
 STATE UNIVERSITY
pr. Denny Declares Resources Must Be Enlarged or Halt Called in Work
 of School

University. May 22.-(specia1.)- There were 3.3S3 students enrolled in the various departments of the Uni versity of Alabama during the past year according 10 the annual report of President George IT. Denny made the board of trustees at their an- nual meeting here today.
 Discussing phases of the univer- sity's development during the past few years pr. Denny's report is as follows:
 "This is again a record breaking registration. It is not to be expected that the numerical growth will con tinue next session. Indeed, il is just as well that we recognize the fact that we have reached the limit of numerical growth pending the time when larger financial resources are available. The state must now say. definitely, whether or not 1t will meet the situation. We are merely the agents of the state, We can do no more than the state is willing and ready to have us do. We are already erdeavoring to make one dollar do the work of three. We have reached the ultimate limit in this matter. It is now a question of calling halt or else of enlarging our resources.

It Is q legume or fertilizing plant and does enrich the soil where grown.
 The cowpea Is the most dependable soil improving plant for the south, It will thrive under conditions where soy beans would be failure. The supreme advantage of the cowpea lies in the remarkable food value of the pea, as source of food for humans and all classes of live stock. The cowpea affords one of the richest sources of digestibIe vegetable pro- tein, as well as the cheapest of any of our forage plants, and it should

 Q.-Does the indigo plant grow in the United States? c. S, R. F. D.. Fort Paine.
 A.-Not the species from which we get our indigo, but there is wild indigo (Baptisia) that grows in this country and is used as substitute, but is much inferior to the true Ma di as plant growing in India and other eastern countries.
 Q.-I want to start some experi- ments in breeding prolific corn. What variety would you begin with? W. J., Russellville.
 Al would start with the best two-eared type of Mosbys prolific obtainable and don't make the mis- take of trying to breed any type to produce more than two good ears to the stalk.
 Q.-I want to seed terrace to a lawn that is incumbered with some nut grass. How would you proceed and what grasses would you use2 I. T.
 A.-Break up with the blow or fork as deep as possible. Apply. if obtalnable, heavy dressing Of well routed COW manure. If available ap- ply a heavy dressing of rich woods earth. Apply a dressing of high grade complete commercial fertili- ger. say 100 lbs. to every 50x1o0 feet. Make up fine seed bed like you were going to SOW turnips. Sow one pound of a grass mixture, made of three parts English rye to one of Bermuda, on every space 20X15 feet, and cover lightly. Then sprig or set out sets or small cfumps of Bermu- da sod 12 to Is inches apart each way and tamp the ground firmly. If ell the nut grass is not removed in this treatment, the only remedy is never to let it seed and the nuts will finally decay. Keep all weeds from seeding by repeated cuttings or re- move by hand.
 Q.---1s it safe to pasture young orchard with hogs? B. J. C., R. F D., Piedmont.
 Alt would certainly be necessary to watch the hogs closely, because they frequently attack the young trees themselves. You cannot al- ways tell just what the hogs will do.

'SURPASS QUOTA
 IN COTTON POOL
115,o0o Bales Pledged in Alabama, Reports at Bu-
 reau Show

Montgomery. May 22.--(Speclal') = Seven thousand cotton growers rep resenting more than 115,OOO bales have signed the Farm Bureau Co., operative Marketing contract, accord ing to a compilation of the reports from the county agents and field men received at the State Farm Bureau officers up until Monday night.
 This makes certain that Alabama will take her place along with eight other big cotton producing states in which more than 150,o09 cotton grow CTS, representing over 2,500,000 bales, have already formed state pools for cooperating market purposes.
 The Alabama Farm Bureau launch ed a movement to form pool in the state of at least 100000 bales and now that this number has been more than secured the Farm Bureau officials, together with the organization com mfttee, have fixed a quarter of mill lion as a new goal, with indications that 1t will be reached in a short time. It was stated here Monday that Alabama is the only one of the nine big cotton states forming pools that has gone over with its quota.

Isn't the Jury
 Stacked?

Fitzhugh Lee, candidate for one of the places as associate commissioner of the Alabama Public Serv- ice Commission, thinks it is time to change the jury He says: ''If the farmers of Alabama desire that their earnings continue to be eaten up by the freight and the users of gas telephones, street cars, water and power think they are paying just and equitable charges they will vote to continue the two present associate public service commissioners, Messrs. Cooper and Gaillard, who are running for third term in office If they don't they will vote for me in the August primary"
 Every case for the past seven years involving freight gas telephone street cars water and power depots and service regulations has been tried before this same jury. Are to continue to try our cases before this same jury, that has never decided one single case favorable to the peoples interest? In civil and criminal action before the state courts are satisfied to try cases before jury that we know is going to render verdict against our rights and interest? Does a solicitor accept jury known to be composed entirely of the defendants friends? ~

Q.-In Florida there is an ever green hedge plant called Aloes. What is this and would it grow ia Bir- mingham? Mrs. o.
 A.-This is species of Agave, widely grown in Mexico. from which the Mexicans get their national drink. pulque. Another species yields the sisal of commerce. The species growing in Florida might stand our climate. bus it is essentially a tropi- cal plant.

 Last Call For G1adioIf
 If you have not already planted gladioli you should do so by all means. It is not too late, as seems to be the general impression. They grow rapidly into flower when plant ed as late as May and June and will give good account of themselves with less attention than most any other bulbous plant. Their lasting qualities and adaptability for cut flowers is not excelled by any plant. They respond. of course. to intensive methods of culture, more so than most plants, and extra care adds much to the size of the bloom, but they always bloom satisfactory under most any method of culture. The bulbs may be kept from year to year, may remain in the soil undisturbed, but a better plan is to take up in the fall and store away in a cool place, packed in sand.
 In cutting gladioli, 1t Is always best to leave four to six inches of the stem above ground to insure proper development of the bulb. It is the common practice to stake gladioli, but if the bulbs be planted deep. say four to six inches, there is rarely need for stalking. The bulbs null tfply and the young side bulblets should be removed and planted ou, separately, and in two or three sea- sons become large reproductive bulbs
 Winter Blooming Plants
 It may sound like a long time until winter again visits us, and it may seem early to discuss winter bloom ing plants, but if the matter be de- layed much longer you will be un- able to produce some of the plants that you will long for during the cold months.
 It Is surprising what may be grown at home that is so much in demand around Christmas, and which so en- ables one to enjoy the confinement of the home.
 Most of the winter bloomers must be especially grown during summer and fall; for this purpose. Many plants ttat have flowered in the yard during summer, if taken up before cold weather, potted. cut back, and placed in a light, warm location in the house, will afford a prolongation of blooms.
 Such annuals as petunias, phlox mignonette and sweet alyssum, may be sewn in the early fall and trans ferred to pots before cold weather and made to produce fine Towering plants during winter.
 It is about time to make cuttings of geraniums, begonias fuchsias, etc. for winter blooming plants. Such plants should have their first bud. pinched back to prevent exhaustion until late fall. and then when colo weather comes on, such plants vii produce riot of bloom in the house Most any free blooming plant. ii kept from blooming. during the sum. mer and fall, will bloom freely whcr potted and transferred to the house in winter.

 'tThe university is in need of in- augurating a building program ade- quate to It's proper development. These needs. roughly stated, were set forth In my report one year ago:

 The first meeting of the board of trustees of the university was held in Tuscaloosa on April 6. 1922. Alum nj meetings celebrating this event have recently been held at various points throughout the state. At these IT tings there have been appreciative references to the service of trustees, living and dead, who have given themselves generously to the univer- sity.
 Campaign for Funds
 Following the action of the trus- tees al the annual meeting one year ago, Dr. P. P. C1axton, former com missioner of education of the United States, was asked to accept the posi- tfon of provost, and to take charge of the proposed campaign to raise $1 900 900 so imperatively needed for new buildings and equipment. Owing to other campaigns projected or under way, it was decided to postpone the university drive which is now being organized, with view to completing it in the coming fall.
 "The vital problem now confronting the university is the problem Of finance. The future depends on the manner in which this problem is solv- cd. It is & critical matter. Classes are in many instances too large. and instructors are carrying too heavy load We have outgown our faclll- ties. There must be many new build fngs. The state must be prepared to make largely increased appropria- tions. Private benefaction must be Invoked. Other southern states are rapidly developing their universities We have no other choice. Alabama must not be content to lag. This institution will soon be celebrating it's centennial It Is the firstborn child of the state. It has blazed the way to all that is best in our civiliza- tion. It deserves well of the com monwealth. We appeal to the peo- pie of Alabama to rally to our sup port"
