WILL CUT SUPPLY OF
HOGS FOR NEXT YEAR
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
THE AGE-HERALD
NoufgOmery. Ala. Dec. 23.

Alabama's production OF hogs mex,
year will be materially reduced be-
cause of the lack OF peanuts, velvet
beans, corn and other feedstuffs, &C
cording to the weekly summary of
market conditions issued Saturday by
f. o. Hooton, supervisor Of the d.
vision of markets and immigration
of the state department of agricul-
ture. Mr.. Hooton said the high prices
of feed stuff and the low prices OF
live stock furnished nc incentive for
farmers TO raise hogs during the
coming year.
Peanut production was light in
Alabama this year and the quality
poor, and Mr.. Hooton said the scarf
, city of seed peanuts probably will
mean limited acreage next year
Peanuts in recent years have become
an important crop for hogs, especial
ly in southeast Alabama.
Mr.. Hooton said the supply Of
sweet potatoes appears to be good
with local prices ranging from 50
to 10 cents bushel and central
markets offering from 81 to Silt
grade of southern stock. He predict.
| that Alabama curing houses will
have from $50 to 200 cars of cured

These must be sleepiess nights for
one citizen of Tuscaloosa if reports
be true. The story goes that Judge
w. w. Brandon, governor elect, re-
ceiyed a majority of approximately
$4,000 in the democratic primary
August and that almost all of this
jority have filed applications for
positions in his administration which
Will begin January Is.
OF course. the story must be ex-
aggerated as all stories are but in
formation from reliable sources IL
that never before in the state his
tory have SO many persons appealed to
governor-eleGt for political office as
have appealed to Judge Brandon for
preference at his hands.
In less than one month Judge Bran
don will be the governor of Ala
hama and will have vested in his
right hand the power of appointment
and removal and the responsibility
which goes with the head of the
state government.
Preparing Address
Judge Brandon is devoting the
closing days of his personal life
which will end with January Is in
preparing for the duties which will
go with his entry into the political
life of tho state. He is preparing his
inaugural address which will be de-
livered 10 the assembled throngs and
bis first message to the legislature
which will be read January 16. He
has not indicated what he Will say,
though the general opinion is that
in his inaugural address and in his
first message to the legislature he
will ampIify those pledges which he
made to the people in his campaign.
And while he is preparing his in
augural address and his first mes
sage the throngs on the outside are
appealing to him and to his per-
sonal and political friends to lend a
sympathetic ear that they may hear
the pleas for political prefermcnt. II

zeal job to every person in Alabama

ture would be in session from this
time henceforth and forever. the tax
rate would be increased thousand
fold and the journals of the legis-
ture of 1929 would contain just one
statement; "A bill to be entitled

Wants to Cut Out Jobs
Judge Brandon has said that he
intended to reduce the expenditures
of the state government wherever
possible and his declaration is taken
to mean that there is small chance
for the enactment of any measures
which propose the creation Of any
new positions. While his supporters
on the outside are seeking to devise
ways and means of finding positions
he is closeted with his conscience In
an effort to find ways and means
OF reducing positions.
The discussions regarding positions
and the abolition of positions do not
prevent persons from considering va
rious persons in connection with
the various positions which must be
filled during the administration OF
Judge Brandon.
1t Is generally settled that Archie
L. Tyson of Montgomery will be
Judge Brandons private secretary. In
fact, 1t is so well settled now no
one seems to doubt it,. Mr.. Tyson has
been close TO Judge Brandon for
many years and is his step-son-in-

exodus OF farm labor from tho south
do not concern the Alabama farmer.
He cultivated nearly 100000 acres
more land this year than last with
his own labor, and 100000 more
than was cultivated in the old days
when cotton was almost the only
money crop. He has done this by so
regulating tho utilization OF his land
that continuous employment is as
sured throughout the season. and re-
turns are realized accordingly. In
fact the Alabama farmer might be
willing to lend some labor to other
sections II he can be allowed to Sc
