ALABAMA LAGG|NG. BEHIND IN CURING. SWEET POTATOES.
State Deserts Yellow Yam Because of Inability to

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD ManfHOmerY AIa March OA

Alabama, the home of the southern yam, the sweet potato which north erners a few short years ago found W ould melt in ones mouth, has fal- len far behind the procession in the curing of this agricultural com modity. according to an investiga tion just completed by F. W. Gist, federal and state statistician for agriculture, a report of which was urday by MT. Gist.
 Alabama farmers, for some reason or another, have failed to continue the use of the sweet potato curing houses which were erected at time when the north was calling for southern vans in ever increasing volume. There are $500 potato cur ing houses in this state and MT. Gist's investigation developed the fact that only 20 per cent of the ca being utilized for the purpose in- tended when the houses were con structed. Inability to dispose of the cured product and consequent finan- cial loss" was given as the reason for the abandonment of the curing houses.
 A year ago only 45 per cent of the capacity was utilized for the Ci ring of potatoes. This percentage lad dropped to twenty on December 15, 1922. From December, 1921, to March, 1922. 31, 900 bushels of pota- toes stored were disposed of and from December, 1922, to March 1923, only 17,000 bushels were distributed.

 Striking shopmen and their fami- lies, who accepted positions in the shops following the strike. just now are moving their families here. Pre- viously large share of the money earned here was spent where the fam fly. at the time, was located. The moving of these families to the Twin Cities will mean that the money for their support now will be expended here and the benefit will be reaped by local merchants.

 HE sGE-HEHALD ! Montgomery, Ala, March q

Governor Brandon, weak and weary from the many appeals to him for pardons and paroles since he has been the chief executive, Saturday afternoon announced that in the flu ture he will be forced to decline to consider pardon cases except on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. He declared that his de cision is irrevocable and that those who desire to present appeals for executive clemency should arrange to come to the capitol on the days especially set apart.
 a'This decision is necessary" said Governor Brandon. since January l5 there has hardly been day. to pass without several appeals for executive clemency. I have full sympathy for those behind prison t&rs. l have full sympathy for the families. relatives and friends who are in prison But the other busi- ness of the state demands that the discussion of appeals for executive clemency be limited to the two days which have always been set apart by each governor. It is my hope that the relatives, friends and at courts will understand that the con sideration of these petitions is only one of the countless duties which are placed upon the governor by the constitution and the laws.
 trAssurance is given that every pe- tition coming into the executive department will have full consdera- tien. However, it is necessary that oral requests be submitted on the second and fourth Tuesdays"
 Since Governor Brandon was in- adgurated there has been run on him for pardons and paroles similar to run on falling bank, accord ing to state officials who have watched the executive department Almost every day from one to score of persons stand in the outer office of the governor awaiting the E:oment when they may make per soral requests for the liberation or sorne person.
 The pardon board has also indi- cated that it will be forced to limit the hearing of petitions to the second Tuesday in each month. At present the three members of the board Harwell G. Davis, attorney general;
 W. B. Allgood state auditor. and $. H. Elan, secretary of state-are de- voting almost half of their time to the. e.investigation of petitions for re- lease on parole. This time is being given despite the fact that the handling of these cases is an eX- offcia duty placed by the constitu- ton and far removed from the gen exal duties assigned to the three officials.

Albany-Decatur, Ala, M


 Not yet a well defined movement by any means, but question of more than ordinary interest to many citizens of Albany-Decatur, neverthe- less, revival of discussion of con- solidation was In progress here this week.
 Many citizens have given the mat ter more or less consideration and 1t would not be surprising if se- rious consideration is given consoli- dation by local voters before many months have passed. The Albany Decatur Daily this week editorially urged the people to work out a program of harmony, casting their lot together and facing the world as one.
 Perhaps never before in the his- tory of the two cities has there been greater degree of corporation be- tween civic and community organi- zations than there is now. This is said to have Drought about a much better feeling between the general public in the two cities and the fact is apparent that in regard to gen eIal work for the upbuilding of Albany Decatur, the program of community construction is being car ried forward as if there was but one municipality.
