Hill Ferguson Was The
Man Who Started
=. Glee Club
It's Hill Ferguson's merry fault.

It's Hill Ferguson's merry fault.
What?
That the University of Alabama
has Glee club at all.
Did you know that?
Tom Garner, director, told it this
past week-just before his chorus
of husky college boys started their
program at the brilliant bail at the
Tutwiler for the benefit of the pa
triotic work carried on by the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
Mr.. Garner said that this was how
it happened.
Some years ago Hill Ferguson was
placed in charge of alumni day pro-
gram at the university commencement
Feeling the need of some husky
choruses, he indited a letter down to
the seat of learning, asking Mr..
Garner II he wouldn't lasso some of
the students and teach them some
songs to be sung on that day, along
with the things Hill wass plan
ming from this end of the line.
Garner was successful. The Glee
club made such hit and won so
many "Bravosm and "Encores" from
listeners that the president of the
university asked Garner II he
wouldn't organize the club perma-
nently.
That was IS years ago--and this
season the club is making its tour
giving joy-programs in these Ala
bama cities-Huntsville, Albany, At
ITALIA, Admission and Bessemer. This
was Its Severalth appearance for the
Birmingham Daughters.

towns every year like we do to Biz

not able to stand US as as much,

Unless 1t be Of the people. 1t will cease
to have place under our institutions,

;Frepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Measured by the abundance and
regularity Of the crops of high-grade
fruit produced, there are many apple
orchards Of bearing age that are not
successful. Because a, large number
Of these Improbable orchards can be
made to yield good crops of high
quality fruit by special treatment, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has prepared Farmers Bulletin
1884, Apple-Orchard Renovation, by
III. p. Gould, which discusses the prin-
cipal practices found useful in bring
ing neglected trees back into profit
producing condition.
Orchards In need of renovating are
found only In sections where the home
orchard or fruit garden Is the pre-
vailihg type of fruit growing, and In
regions where orchards of consider
able size occur only occasionally, but
also in the recognized commercial ap-
ple-growing districts. Some orchards
are not worth the time and expense
necessary to renovate them. In decid-
Ing what Is to be done the following
factors need to be considered: The

milk. Concrete construction, either
monolithic or block, is Ideal because 1t
Is permanent. vermin-proof and high
ly sanitary. Such structure should
be located with regard to convenience,
but 1t Is better that 1t be separated
from the stables to prevent the milk
from being tainted by stable odors.
A very serviceable milk house IL
type that can be constructed with the
use Of circular monolithic silo forms,
similar to the one shown In the Illus
tration. A foundation which extends
two or three feet into the ground or
to the limit Of frost is the first step.
The sIlo forms are used just as In
making silo, except that boards must
be set In the forms to cut out portions
of the wall which are to form door
ways or windows. Heavy reinforce
ment Is not necessary, %-inch rods 20
inches on the center extending In both
directions being amply sufficient. A
conical roof caA also be constructed
similar to, the type that is employed In
silo construction. A small ventilator
In the peak Of the roof with damper
that can be opened or closed, is de
sirable aid in getting good circula-
ton of fresh air. 500
Every milk house, should be provid-
ed with q concrete cooling tank, the
depth of which Is governed by the
height of the cans; 1t IL desirable to
have the cans stand submerged as
much as possible. Circulating water
through the tank and around the cans
will keep the milk cool. To tighten
the labor of lifting and moving cans In
and out Of the tank, part Of Its depth
should be below floor level, and for
the same reason, the width Of the
tank should be limited to convenient
srm'ssreach, which Is about that of the
diameter Of two cans. The remain
der Of the floor should be covered
with concrete made In single layer
four inches thick and troweled to .
smooth surface that will not harbor
dirt.

borhood and In sections where there
are many commercial paintings much
damage may be done by insect, pests
and diseases that have their source In
badly infected trees. In some states
a neglected orchard Is practically de-
clared by law to be public nuisance

owner will not clean 1t up, public Off
cials do 1t and The expense becomes a
lien on the property until paid.
AS rule, says the author of the
bulletin. much-neglected orchard
does not Justify Its existence. If an
orchard Is worth keeping 1t is worth
giving good attention.; otherwise, the
trees merely cucumber the ground and
interfere with It's use for other pur.
poses. If an apple tree Is not OF value
for fruit production 1t may be worth
converting into tool handles, plane
blocks, and other useful things.
Persons interested In renovating
orchards or those who wish to decide
whether or not a certain orchard Is
worth the attempt should get the bull
letin, which may be obtained without
cost from the Department of Agrlcul-
ture, Washington, d. c.

Big Things Needed.
Soil renovation, pruning, and spray
ing are some of the principal things
needed in practically any orchard that
Is being brought back into producing
condition. Just what Is to be done de-
pends on the age and vigor Of the
trees, the condition Of the soil and
other local factors. Various conditions
and the necessary treatment are dis
cussed In the bulletin, and the tools
and other equipment are described.
When trees are otherwise good, but
the varieties are not desirable, Il
sometimes pays to top-graft the trees
This work Is not difficult, but must be
done carefully. As a rule the cleft
method Of grating Is best suited to
old apple orchards. Details of this
method are to be found In Farmers
Bulletin 167, The Propagation of
Plants. The time to do the work Is
In the spring just before growth starts
or just MS 1t Is starting. The sclons,
however, must be perfectly dormant.

TO INCREASE DAIRY PROFITS
WIdeawaks Dairy Farmers Have Seer
Larger Demand and Are Act

Campaigns by large dairy companies
urging the public to drink more milk
Increase trade channels from the farm
to the city immeasurably. With this
increased demand. however, has come
an increased vigilance by health soci-
eties to safeguard the consumer.
Accordingly, wideawake dairy farm
ers have foreseen this condition and
