Montgomery, Ala, Feb. "a

Alabama farmers do not intend TO
devote as much acreage to Irish po
tatoes this spring as they did last
year, according to Investigations OF
i. W Gist. federal and state agri-
cultural tatistician. In a report on
Tie activities OF the farmers, issued
today, Mr.. Gist said heavy losses
were suffered by those who grew
large crops of Irish potatoes last
year and large stocks are now in the
hands OF southern farmers.
Decrease in the sale of fertilizer
in the potato sections of this state
further confirmed Mr.. Gist's belief
that the farmers are not so much
interested in this product this sea-
son.
Cabbage shipments from the sec

arc exceeding the shipments of last
season about two and one-half times,
according to information to Mr.. Gist.
Reports had been received up to
February II, while the last ship
ments will not be made until March
Is. Up to February II last seasons
full crop had almost been reached.
The total shipments last season were
40 cars, while total shipments up
to February Il had been 1ot cars.
The main season or spring crop will
open about April /.

Coed Strawberry Crop.
Continuing the report. Mr.. Gist
said
Qualification is felt at the reports
from the strawberry section that no
real harm was done by the unusually
cold weather of the past week. 1t
appears that abnormally early pro-
duction had resulted from warm
weather in January. and express
shipments had already begun. The
freeze of last week stopped this pre-
mature ripening, and growers feel
sure that the normal season will be-
gin on time and that the crop will
be large and OF excellent quality.

and further advances have been Of
fered to bring out the holdings. Cot
ton has also advanced and it is still

with the county tax adjusters during
the past four years and called for
their abolition. Already the legis-
lature has abolished the fountain
head of the system, the state tax
commission, and has created another
state tax commission consisting of
five members instead of three. The
intention of Governor Brandon is to
have a tax commission large enough
to supervise the operation of the
taxing machinery throughout the
state, thus removing the need for
such supervision by large number
of subordinate officials and employees.
0 o o
Tax Adjusters Go.
No one knows at this time what
substitute for the county tax adjust
ers will be proposed. The adjusters
will remain in office until the end
of the present fiscal year, September
80. The new revenue bill will be-
come operative October /.
1t will be the duty OF the state
budget commission and the recess
budget committees to recommend a
Many members of the Legislature
for the assessment of taxes by
county tax assessors and the collec-
ton of taxes by the county tax col
lectors, who are elected by the peo-
pie.
Governor Brandon has recon-
mended that this substitute be es-
tablished but he has proposed also
that the tax assessors and collectors
be Ineligible for reelection. The
latter proposal will bring on fight.
Many tax assessors and collectors
have been in office for years and do
not desire to be legislated from the
position. This probably will bring
on opposition.
The suggestion that the taxing
officials be ineligible for reelection
has been accepted as a declaration
Of opinion on the part of Governor
Brandon that persons elected by the
people will lean toward those OPP
posed to equalization of taxation
when such an issue is raised. Gov
ernor Kilby called the assessment
and collection of taxes by officials
elected by the people as govern
ment by voluntary contribution" but
Governor Brandon has insisted that
revenue can be obtained by taxing
officials named by the people.

Supervision Provided.
Whatever plan is made for the
actual assessment of property for
taxation, the new revenue bill will
contain provisions for the super
vision and revision of tax assess
ments by the state tax commission.
This was the idea of Governor Bran
don, as expressed by him, when he
proposed that the membership of the
state tax commission be increased
from three to five.
Members of the state budget com
mission who are charged by the
state budget law of 1919 with the
writing of the revenue bill are Gov
ernor Brandon, Harwell G. Davis, at
torney general, and w. B. Allgood,
state auditor. Members of the recess
committees who will collaborate with
the state budget commission in the
Investigations and in the prepara-
ton of the bill are: Senate. J. b.
Ellis of Dallas, ]. NJ. Foster of Tus-
caloosa, and J. Il. Carlton of Maren-
go; house, c. w. Ashcraft of Lau-
derdale, Alfred M. Tunstall of Hale,
