The main trouble, a S the writer
sees it, is the fact that farmers in
Alabama will put corn or very poor
land inadequately fertilized. poorly
cultivated, and then expect crop.
The writer urges farmers to not
plant corn on poor land, and If poor,
use sufficient fertilizer TO produce
a reasonable yield. 1T is only through
such measure that we can hope to

Ign. LAYS RAILS
Road Ballasted and 90.pound Steel
Put Down.


One hundred miles of 90-pound steel
has been laid by the I.-G. n. rail
road north of San Antonio during the
current year, and As miles of rock
ballasting has been completed, ac-
cording to A. X. Fox, division pas.
senger agent in San Antonio. The
distribution of 20 miles of 75-pound
steel between San Antonio and Lare-
do has also been completed. and the
new rails will be placed before the
first of the year.
The ballast being used in this work
is crushed stone which Is secured from
New Braunfels and vicinity. At the
present time it is being applied at
the rate of two trainloads daily, and
is being placed with an average depth
of four inches under the ties.
The steel now in use on the road be-
tween San Antonio and Laredo was
laid ~ years gao. having been rolled in
Belgium in 1881. The 75.pound steel
that is being removed from the track
north of San Antonio is being re-
worked in San Antonio, drilled for
heavier bolts. and used on the Laredo
line. New joints of the most approved
design will connect the rails. and the
line will be ballasted with crushed
stone.
The laying Of heavier steel is part
of the improvement program out
lined by President T. A. Hamilton,
who is preparing the line for the in
creased traffic that is expected in the
years to come. Oil-burning locomo-
tives and passenger equipment cqual
to the standards of the best railways
have been put into service.
Next year the I.-G. n. proposes 10
lay $50 miles of 90-pound steel and
to complete the work of ballasting
the entire line.

PRAISE LOCAL SCENERY
Passenger Agent Says California OF.
fers Nothing Like Southwest Texas.

Scenery equal to that of Pasadena
and other resorts around Los Angeles
can be found within so miles of San
Antonio. according TO G.. +. Lupton,
general passenger agent Of the S. A.
& A. p. railroad. Within that dis
lance the altitude of the country is
1000 feet higher than in this city.
and the green hills furnish many
beautiful places for country homes,
he said.
Mr.. Luptcn expressed the opinion
that San Antonio is sleeping on her
rights in not letting the world know
more abont the wonderful scenery
that lies almost at the edge of the
city. No other part of the country
can boast of better natural advant-
ages than the Southwest, but other
sections have reached far greater de-
velopment through more profuse ad-
ver,ising.
