CARD FROM Mr.. WHITE.
THE COUNTY AGENT,

To The Citizens of Grenada County:
AS County Agent, permit me to
call your attention to four specifc
things this week: lst. AS to ferti-
lizer, if you are going to use fer4i-
lizer and haven't secured what vou
want possibly ] can help you. Nj
trate of Soda is hard to get and
should be listed several days before
it is needed. We are promised a car
for next weeks delivery. End. AS
to better cotton seed, if there should
be a big cotton crop grown this year,
the extra expense in securing seed of
a good inch or better cotton will
mean the difference between a mar
ketable and an unmarketable product
in the fall. Bird. AS to Demonstra-
ton Work. | want to work with
some farmers who are interested in
real demonstrations in crop and live
stock production. The Grenada Bank
is putting up some real prize money
fcr sk!ii in these enterprises. tn.
/ O-operative marketing, there
is apparently a surplus of COW reas
in the cou: tv. So far there haze
been over 100 bushels listed for sac.
and these by two farmers. While
they will sell in local lots this way,
they viii sell better in car lots.

Grenada broke even with Durant

Grenada rOOters to attend the game

DINE OF THE GOOD THINGS

Continued from page u
Tax Levy Too Low.


Naturally, after voting away more
ban $4,000 600, and almost equal
lg the record of 1920 when times
ere flush and everybody had plenty
4 money, eve some of the liberal
.inded members, especially those
it'll political ambitions, became
-ightened. They were worried about
hat the folks back home" were
ping to say. and sought to redeem
lemse!ves in the esteem of their con
pt'e0ts Nv reducing the state tax
IVY ffcm nine to eight mills. This
las done despite an earnest appeal
rom Chairman Stone, of the WAYS
nd means committee, who declared
rat a deficit would be inevitable. The
enate took Chairman Stones view
nd some of the more courageous
embers of the upper body wanted
increase the levy to ten mills, but
tier the House had refused to recede
'om eight mills they reluctantly az
fpted that figure.
The net result is that within the

Gadsden will enter the new year
with every prospect that it will bring
the greatest industrial activity in
the city's history and with promised
development that is certain to give
the entire district as much business
as can well be handled.
The Alabama company is prepar-
ing to blow in an additional stack
early in January, repairs on the fur
mace being almost complete. The
plant has been remodeled and is ex-
pected to become one of the great
est iron makers in the state.
The steel mills of the Gulf States
Steel company will go on a double
turn January 1, all departments be-
ing placed on two 10-hour shifts a
day. The output is sold far into
next spring and every effort is be-
ing made to speed up shipments.
This is now possible since the car
shortage has been greatly relieved
and production is to be increased.
Put On 100 Men
The car works, which is now turn
ing out from IS to 25 complete cars
every day. will put about 100 adj
ditional mon to work between now
and tho first of tho year in order 10
enlarge the output. The plant is a
subsidiary of tho Southern railway
and Il Is ono of the largest of its
kind In tho south.
All of the cast iron soil pipe shops,
the stove foundry. the hosiery mills,
tho wood working shops. potteries.
cotton mills, foundries and machine
shops are running full tilt and all
of them are crowded with orders.
Smaller factories like the overall
plant and creamery are running
overtime and are expected to enjoy
a good business during tho first half
of the year. Stringer Brothers are
preparing to put a full force to work
in the plumbing speciality foundry
on the north side and the big Dwight
cotton mill Is said to be behind with
it's orders.
Railroad Plans Line
Tho greatest expansion during the
year Is expected to como from the
Great Southern Steel company which
was recently formed with a capital of
$100.000.000 and which owns vast
tracts of iron ana coal lands In the
district. It Is said that much Of this
development will depend upon the
extension of tho Tennessee, Alabama
and Georgia railroad from Gadsden
to Birmingham which Is now waiting
for permission from tho Interstate
commerce commission to begin con-
struction OF tho new limo. Steel mills.
blast furnaces, coal and iron mines
and by-produot plants are said to be
included In the plans OF the COM
pany.
Much the largest building program

FARMERS TO SPEED

WETUMPKA, Ala, Dec. 30.-(spe-
cial)-Elmore county farmers are
laying their plans for a more ex-
tensive farming program for another
year. and although the acreage is
sure to be increased, their first con-
sideration in the 1928 plan seems to
be to build UP their soil, keep their
farms perfectly terraced and make
their lands more productive. Many
have expressed their intention to fer
tilize better and farm more intensive
ly than ever before
In their efforts to overcome the de-
structiveness of the boil weeyil, many
have learned a valuable lesson: that
is. bringing their lands to high state
of cultivation and working it rap
idly in order to get the cotton crop
to mature as quickly as possible, and
in doing SO, have found that a larger
crop can be raised on a smaller acre
age and the expense of making the
crop Is thereby greatly lessened

Results In Doubt
Those who have taken no active
part in the contest do not know what
will happen. Many have expressed the
opinion that since Mr.. Long has been
the most active he probably would
command the greatest strength at
the opening of the battle. But there
are many year. hundreds in Alabama,
who remember that memorable fight
in 1911 between the same Mr.. Long
and Judge II. h. Almon, then rep
resentative of Colbert county, now
congressman OF the Eighth district.
Mr.. Long was the representative OF
Butler county Before the legislators
gathered in Montgomery the story
went far and wide that Mr.. Long
had more than 20 commttals and
that he would he elected speaker.
The fact of the business is there
sre many in Alabama who recaIi
that Mr.. Long claimed majority
before the hour of the election.
The first ballot was cast, The
result was tie. The second ballot
was cast One supporter of Mr.. Long
on the first ballot switched to Judge
Almon on the second.
From that dav to this that result
has been constant reminder to Mr.
Long that There's many slip
twixt.'
