INDUSTRY
proven SUCCESS

The poultry industry in the east end
of Gray's HarbOF county has shown an
amazing growth and has reached such
proportions that 1t now contributes
materially to the wealth of this part
OF the. state.
Elma is now the center Of this
industry in this section and the
owners of these poultry farms have be-
come experts in the poultry line and
have made the industry paying one.
year in and year out. Most OF them
have fine yards, fine houses and equip
ment, and a great majority Of them
make the major part OF their income
from this business. These poultry
raisers have usually quite an acreage
and use the rotation Of pens and
yards to great advantage, the larger
part of the growers raise the most
Of their feed. such as green feeds Of
all kinds, having the acreage for
kale, oats and wheat available.
Soil Varies.
The greater number of growers
have their farms on gravelly soil and
keep the White Leghorn chickens, but
the farms are not confined to this
class soil. Several of the poultrymen
use bottom land, and several have
their farms on shotclay hill land
However, 1t is quite generally conced-
ed that the gravel prairies are more
satisfactory and more healthful for
the chickens than the wetter land.
. At the present time there are about
100000 hens in the county where six
years ago their were only about 49,
900, this is a gain that the poultry men
may well be proud Of. Most Of the
eggs are marketed thru the Grays
Harbor Egg & Poultry association.
About $4,000 thousands young chicks
are now being Matched every season.
At the Grays Harbor county baar
which closes tomorrow, some very
liberal prizes were awarded the
poultrymen, the HoQuiam Commercial
club, in order to develop this import
ant industry offered numerous
special prizes, which shows the spirit
of cooperation with which the poul-
trymen are meeting A large part of
the eggs producted find ready mar
ket in Aberdeen and Hoquiam.

). H. SCruggS Is Notified Of His Appointment


 J. Hubert Scruggs, Birmingham 8 member of the new state highway commission was notified of his ap- pointment from Montgomery last night and was gratified at the op- portunity thus given to put into eff feet some of the constructive ideas he has for the building up of a highway system in Alabama. T shall go into the office with the determin- ation to give it all that is in me-" said MT Scruggs. "The work is in line 9th subject which has long been close to my heart and be- licve opportunity is presented for some really great constructive ser vice to the state.
 MT. Scruggs is not only president and owner of tho Scruggs Invest ment company bat also of the Lu- bricating Equipment company. He Is an extensive pr5perty holder and a man whose business experience has been such as to bring him into inti- mate contact with the handling of major problems. He has served about six months as a member of the old board.
 J. Freeman Sutt1e of Perry county is probably the least known new member of the board in this section of the state because he has not heretofore been in public life. He Is planter and stock raiser and Is considered one of the wealthiest, and most substantial men in the black belt. His home is at Felix, in the Iower end of Perry county near the Dallas county line. In addition to his extensive plantation interests he is a largo stockholder in Selma banks and has other property interests, which place him in position where he is in close touch With the prob lems and needs of better highways.
 John A. Rogers is probably the best known member of the board to the general public since he has long been in public life. His home is in GainsvilIe, where he Is a planter and merchant. His experience on the old board will no doubt be of value to him as well as to the new members.

 The Alabama Power company had very large map of the state, show ing power developments, and their charts and specimens showed very clearly the unusual combinations of cheap power and raw materials which are essential to many chemi- cal industries.
 "The Southern railroad and the Central of Georgia railroad each had a large booth, where minerals, woods and other materials were shown, as well as maps and pictures of many industries already established."
