which all feed for winter use will be stored.
 MT. Taylor is now erecting a living house on the place and will at once erect the necessary barns, lots and animal pens and houses The com farm, with the option of renewal or purchase.
 To Demonstrate Soil Building.
 In the practical working out of the problem before him, MT. Mobley intends to demonstrate the practic- ability of rebuilding the soil, formu latng an economic farming system, and at the same time making a liv- ing, and probably a profit, for the family unit living onf the place. The working force will consist of a work ing manager. with the accent on the ''work,' hired hand and a supple mental hand. In order tC provide the supplemental hand with all-time employment. he will be allowed small cotton patch for his own op- eration during the time he is not em- ployed on the main farm. One two mule team will constitute the only work animal power on the farm.
 This demonstration will appeal chiefly tC the larger land owners of the Black Belt. With not more than one fourth additional investment in equipment the plan may be extended to a section of land, but could not be economically applied to 160 acres. Tho plan may be well undertaken by any land owner in the vicinity of the Montgomery stock yards where feed CTS may be obtained at all times of the year in any numbers desired. Nc corn-fed beef will be attempted, and the milk obtained will be sold as separated butter fat and the skinned milk fed to pigs and chickens.
 The harvester company, of course, is making the, demonstration in the interest of the disposition of it's ma chinery. If it succeeds, the effort will also attract farmers from the outside to the possibilities of Black Belt land. It will solve the farm labor problem of this section, and encourage the repopulation of the rural area known as the Black Belt, which runs across the state.
 Active operations are in progress now. and will be continued inten svely throughout the term of the lease and perhaps longer. The re- suits will be watched with interest by land owners and business men in and about Montgomery.
