SEARCH MADE FOR
 GULF RUM SHIPS
Liquor Fleet In The Gulf Consists Of Several

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 15.-Acting on advices that several ships from Rum Row" on the Atlantic coast have moved to the waters of the gulf in the hope of landing supplies of Christmas liquors, the United States coast guard cutter Talla- poosa departed today on an extended cruise of the gulf.
 The Rum Row" in the gulf is said to consist of several auxiliary aschooners from the West Indies and Nova Scotia, near Breton Island and are said to be making a final and desperate effort to srnuggle liquor into the gulf ports for distribution in New Orleans and Mobile.
 Several of the biggest and most daring of the rum runners" are now understood to be working in tho gulf as the result of recent coast guard activity off the Jersey coast,
 Difficulties in the work of pre- venting liquor smuggling, said an officer on the Tallapoosa, are great. We may have positive information that ship is a rum runner,'" he said. "but if she displays proper registry under the British flag and is outside the three-mile limit we cannot touch her. It is only by luck that we can hope to fine one within the three mile limit and then we can chase her to her home port if neces- sary to capture her"

FARM SCHOOL IS
 GETTING REfyLTS
AIbertviIIe Institution Reaches 61 Farmers In Evening
 Instruction
STATE CAPITAL BUREAT I
 THE AGE-HERALD !

Among interesting reports received at the state department of education is one from J. W. Lethon, principal of the state secondary agricultural school at Albertville. Attention was called to tho fact that through ex- tension activities 61 adult farmers are being reached through evening instruction.
 The Albertville school employs two teachers of vocational agriculture. Each has organized and is teaching a night school in rural community in Marshall county. The 61 adult farmers are pursuing courses of study which deals with soil build- ing. The classes are held two nights week and definite lessons are given dealing with the home problems of the farmers. They are provided with farmers bulletins for home reading upon which they report in general discussions at subsequent meetings.
 Each of the farmers agrees to cul- tivate a specific area of land under the general supervision and direction of the teacher of vocational agricul- ture who is employed by the agricul- tural school. The course of instruc- ton covers a period of six weeks and is followed throughout the year with seasonal meetings held when 1t is de- sired to give specific information to the farmers on any definite problems bearing on the work in hand. Demon strations on the compromising of fer tilizers, building of terraces, combat ing of insect pests, and the like are given during the year. Records are kept on the methods of farming in practice and complete financial re- ports on the crops grown are made in the fall.
 State Superintendent of Education John W. Abercrombie stated that similar work Is being done at the present time in all of the state sec ondary agricultural schools by the direction of the state board of educa- ton which three years ago officially
