be accomplished by union in the
placing of their produce on the mar

cial)-On Saturday there was a
meeting here of all the strawberry
growers of the county for the pur-
pose of organizing a marketing as
ISOLATION. When the Cullman asso-
citation has been organized, it is
planned to consolidate all of the
growers under one sales manager.
This will enable the growers to
handle their berries more efficiently
and at less cost.
much larger acreage has been
planted in strawberries this year
than ever before and a bumper crop
is expected in the county this spring.
The plants have been mufched with
pine straw and are in a fine condi
ton now. Shipping will begin here
in April. Buyers are already here
looking after the coming crop. The
revenue that Cullman county truck
growers receive yearly from their
strawberries runs up into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.

Experts Lend Aid.

THE problems of the farmer are
being solved by the leading men of
all the south and not by small areas
and communities as was formerly the
case. The question that &C nfronts
one section as to marketing very
likely confronts every section of the
south, and the getting together and
working out the problem insures the
south of greater prosperity.
THE success that has already been
met with in the handling of the crops
has convinced me that the day of &C.
operative effort is really here.
'Individualism in solving the prob
lem of the farmer, in getting the best
price possible in his district and
taking low prices will pass grad
ually, as the cooperative method
takes new hold in the state.
AN Illustration is the fact that
the syrup turns to sugar. in some
cases so quickly. The association of
cooperative farmers has scientists
working on the question in an effort
to solve the problem. as to how
syrup can be saved from ruination in
this manner"

HARDING MAKES PLEA
FOR THE WORLD COURT
Way for United States to Help
Most for StabiIizing
Civilization.

Washington. President Harding
has addressed the following letter to
Bishop Thomas F. Gailor of Tonnes
see, head of the National Council Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church:
My dear Bishop Gailor:
1T is great satisfaction to have re-
ceived your note of May 25. You
know we are all human enough to
have the feeling that the man who
agrees with us is the broadminded
and really intelligent person. Not
many days ago | made the observa-
ton to my newspaper callers that
did not believe any man could con-
front the responsibility of Presi-
dent of the United States and yet
adhere to the idea that it was pos
sible for our country to maintain an
attitude of isolation and aloofness in
the world
ut is my concern first that there
shall be an effective recognition of
this fact, and that those who, because
of their position, are earliest compell-
ed to realize this situation, may be as
sured the understanding and sympa-
thetc support of the great intelligent
public opinion of our country. Be-
yond that / am keenly DESTROYS that
the right course shall be found, where
by our favored country may make its
largest feasible contribution to the
sterilization of civilization, while at
the same time surrendering nothing of
the advantage and independence
which we enjoy. After much Of
thought, study, and conference,
reached the conclusion that our adj
herence to the program of the Inter-
national Court represented compli-
ance with these conditions. 80
81 am gratified to know that in TAX
ing this attitude have seemed to you
to deserve the commentator you
have so cordially extended.
Most sincerely yours,
WARREN G. HARDING"
