ANDALUSIA PACKING PLANT TO SHUT DOWN
 FOR SUMMER MONTHS

ANDALUSIA, Ala, March 4.-(Spe- cial.)-on March 10 the local swift& Company packing plant will discon- tinue operation for the summer months. 1t was announced by Manager H. H. Mckee. This action is to be taken because of the material shortage of raw products which has arisen during the past two weeks, and l. is believed that by early fall, the supply of hog. and cattle will have increased to such a point as to enable the plant to keep open perma- nently.
 More than 17,ooO hogs and several hundred cattle have been handled in the plant since it's reopening in De- cember which 8 a remarkably good showing, in view of tho fact that there had not been local marke ct in upwards of two years. Little more than one half the force has been em- ployed, too. compared to the former plant and office staff, which has en- abled the operating expense and overhead to be decreased materially

EXPERIMENTS SHOW PASTURES IN BLACK BELT ARE PROFITABLE

AUBURN, Ala. March 4.-(Spe- cial )-Net profits from pastures last year, varying from $1364 per acre to $23.75 per acre, were shown at the Canebrake experiment station at Uniontown, according to report of a pasture experiment by Prof. J. C.. Grimes.
 The objects of the experiment were to determine the relative efficiency of certain combinations of grasses for grazing purposes in the Black Belt, and to measure the value of certain pasture crops In terms of milK and butterfat.
 Eighteen acres of land was di vided into three fields of six acres each.
 In summarizing the results it was found that the cows on the best six acres produced 1869 pounds of milk containing 60.7 pounds of butterfat while the cows on the poorest pas ture produced 7145 pounds of milk containing 35.5 pounds of butterfat
 When butterfat was credited at 33 cents per pound. skimmilk at 30 cents per hundred pounds, hay at $10 per hundred, and the concentrate feeds charged at market prices, it was found that the best pasture re- turned a net profit of S23.75 per acre, and the poorest pasture $13.64 per acre. Labor and manure were not considered in the above figures.
 In commenting on the results Pro lessor Grimes said: Any farmer with good Black Belt land which contains Johnson grass, paspalum and black medic in it's native state should be able to secure results as good as those from the best pasture in this experiment."

Standing Back of Your
 Mousetraps

Why, in an advertisement, to be sure for this manufacturer is consistent and regular advertiser, and when he has anything to say, he says it through his advertising. It may fairly be assumed that he would not look for a thriving business in the best of mousetraps, or shoes, if people were not told about them as people expect to be told through advertising.
 Of course, people do find out which are the best mousetraps, the best shoes, the best tires, the best breakfast foods, and buy them in preference to others.
 And people today are pretty we'll aware that when a manufacturer puts advertising back of the thing he makes, he is telling the world that the path to his door is broad highway.
