M'BROOM JOINS
 DRIVE FORCES
Intensive Campaign To Be Started At Capital
 This Week

Announcement has been made by leaders in the Million for Montevallo" drive that W. H. Bedroom, veteran charity drive manager, has been secured to assist in the statewide campaign for funds for Alabama college.
 MT. McBroom is well known in Ala bama as a capable campaign manager, MontevaIlo workers say, and his help in the present drive will be valuable. Te was formerly state manager of the Near East Relief drive.
 Plan Intensive Campaign
 MT. McBroom, Dean o. c. Carmi- chael. and Dr. w. T. Palmer, president of the Woman's college, will start this week an intensive campaign for funds in Montgomery, it was said. Mrs. D. K. Bucks and Dean Carmichael were in the state capital during the past week paving the way for the opening of the campaign there, and met with gratify- ing success, it was reported.
 s.With the scene for the work in Montgomery set, actual soliciting of money and pledges will begin at once" was the statement made at Birmingham headquarters of the million dollar cam paign, at Loveman, Joseph, and Loeb's department store annex, 1915 Third avenue, north.
 Under the direction of MT. McBroom, arrangements are also under way to carry the plea for support of the W0- mans college into every niche and cor ner of the state, it was said. The re- doubled efforts of the drive leaders and canvassefs this week will mark the be- ginning of the final "push," to oyersub- scribe the quotas of every county.
 Reports Increasing
 Reports from Birmingham suburbs, where the drive has only recently got under way, are encouraging, and point to over-snbscription of their apportion- ments. Bessemer has responded particu- larly we'll to the call, it is understood. By means of tag days and various bene- fits, the quota there has nearly been reached.
 In Birmingham, interest now centers on the Venetian FroIic" at Cascade Plunge Wednesday evening. D. c. San ders, president of the Inter Club Coun- ell of Birmingham, which is fostering the "Frolic'', and Mrs. Bucks, are CO., operating in their efforts to make the occasion n success. Twenty-Five cents will be charged for admission to Gas cade, and all proceeds will be donated to the college.

BESSEMER PLANS
 s75,OOO HOTEL Chamber Of Commerce Sponsors Drive For
 Hostelry
fBesxemer Bureau)

BESSEMER, Ala, Aug. IT, 1924.- Considerable interest has been aroused over the announcement that a company is to be organized here to build a new hotel, and that plans to this end will be made at the Wednes- day meeting of the Chamber of Com merce, directors in their assembly room. The proposal to erect new hotel was made by the Chamber some time ago, following agitation for a new hotel sev- eral years.
 The Chamber of Commerce, in spon- soring the movement, has urged that there is large monetary loss to the community each year, claiming that hotel facilities here are inadequate. A recent survey of the district was made by the Hockenberry System, promoters, who pointed out that this city could support a hotel costing $75,000, and setting out how this support can be gained most easily.
 This report covers every phase of the hotel business. Funds for the erection of the hostlery are to be raised among the business men, many of whom have already promised substantial support Others who may be interested have been urged to come to the Chamber of Commerce and examine the prospectus and to learn who the packers and sup porters of the movement are.
 \ A quiet campaign for funds will be carried out by representatives of the Hockenberry System, under the au- spices of the Chamber of Commerce, soon after September 1. Only those who manifest interest in the matter s 1EvT ha tad i1 aka ka1 4 is felt that the necessary funds can be raised within a short time.

ENSLEY PAVING
 TO BEGIN SOON
Necessity Of Ordering Special Material Has
 Caused Delay
(Ensley Bureau)

Work on the Twentieth street pay ing, a contract for which was awarded 30 days ago, will be started during the next three weeks, according to infor- nation received in Ensley. The Bir- mingham Electric company, through it's engineering department, notified City Engineer Hawkins that the delay has been occasioned by the necessity of or dering special material. The company has been assured that the necessary supplies will be here in time to begin the work shortly.
 Contract for the work was awarded to the Morgan Hill Construction com pany by the city. Space within the rails of the electric company will be dation. extending IS inches from the tracks on either side. This work must be completed before the street can be paved by the outside contractor.
 Delay in the work has caused heat ed protests from Ensley residents, who were instrumental in obtaining the pe- tition for the work and influenced the ordinance which was subsequently, pass ed. City officials immediately pro- tested to the Birmingham Electric, when it was discovered that the delay was being caused by that company.
 Work on the street will involve a very large sum and will provide Ems ley with an entirely new outlet for traffic to Birmingham. It will relieve congestion on Nineteenth street, which is growing more acute every day, and will add tremendously to property val ues, providing Ensley also with a new business street, which is expected to develop when the work is completed!
 Merchants Meet Tuesday-Several committee reports and program of varied features will be the offering at the regular meeting of the Ensley As sociated Merchants Tuesday. P. H. Tyler, president of the association, has issued a request to the members for a 100 per cent attendance.

ORCHARD
GL[ANINGS
ECONOMICAL. TO FIX
ALL SPRAYS AT HOME

Making sprays at home for orchard
and field spraying Is the most economi-
cal and desirable method of handling
the spray problem. BY buying the
crude materials and doing the work at
home the high cost of labor and exces-
sive freight rates on liquid materials
is eliminated. Added to this Is the
certainty of a supply at the proper
time and knowledge of exactly what
the spray material contains, says W..
d. Moore, extension plant pathologist
at Clemson college, who gives below
the methods to follow In preparing
these sprays
Bordeaux Mixture.-This spray can
be made easily at home and in
any desired quantities. Before time
for spraying, stock solutions Of
bluestone and stone lime should
be prepared. This is done by
dissolying one pound of bluestone for
every gallon of water used. Usually
a barrel Of so gallon capacity is used
and 80 pounds Of bluestone is sus-
pended in the top of the barrel in
bag. In another barrel the stock So
luton of lime can be prepared in the
same way, Zone pound for every gallon
Of water) being careful to thoroughly
slake the lime. Then to make 4-4-50
Bordeaux mixture at spraying time,
add four gallons Of the bluestOne So
luton to the tank, pour in about 40
gallons of water, add four gallons Of
the lime solution and make up to 80
gallons. This is the quickest and easi-
est method of making this spray.
Steam-B Boiled Lime-Sulphur. - This
important spray can be made at
home at small cost, If a small steam
boiler can be provided for producing
steam pressure of about 20 pounds.
Anyone desiring to set up a steam
plant should write to Clemson college
for full information and the necessary
assistance Where a comparatively
large amount of spraying is to be
done, it would be advisable to set up
one of these small plants.
SeIf-Boiled Lime-SuIphur. = This
summer spray must be prepared at
the time of spraying. 1t cannot be left
to stand over night. 1t is easy to make,
however, and that is our best spray for
peaches. A stock of sulphur and good
stone lime should be bought in early
spring so as to be ready when the
time for applying arrives

Pruning Fruit Trees to
ACCOMPLISH Four Things

Some one has given the following
general condensed rules for pruning
of young trees: "Prune fall-set trees
early in the spring, before the buds
swell; prune spring-set trees as soon
as planted. Cut out entirely all weak,
broken or bruised limbs. keeping the
head properly balanced; then shorten
the remaining shoots to three or four
buds at the base. Do not shorten
cherry trees. When planting peach
trees, cut off all limbs, leaving a stick
and cut this back to 1S to "a inches
from the ground. Head the tree right
when you plant it. Low heads are
best"
The pruning Of fruit trees is to ac-
complish four things. 1t should be
done in such a manner that there Is
an even flow of sap to all parts. Su-
perfluous shoots should be removed to
prevent a waste Of vitality in supply
ing such shoots with sap. Fruit bear
ing is stimulated, but care must be
taken that this stimulation is not
overdone. The fourth object is to
keep the head of the tree symmet-
rical.
The location of the orchard has
much to do in regard to whether or
not the trees should be trained to
open or closed heads. In a damp To-
cality where moss appears on the
sides of the trees, it is well to train to
an open head so that sunlight can
be thrown into the tops. In not or
dry localities, or where the sun shines
unusually bright it is better to leave
a close head TO protect the fruit from
the direct rays of the sun.

Use Bands to Mark Best
Laying Fowls in Flock

According to N. E. Chapman, poul-
try specialist with the agricultural ex-
tension division of the Minnesota
State university, the first of February
is a good time to band the best pull
lets-the birds that have the early
laying and high-production marks.
"These are the BIRDS" says Mr..
Chapman, ito breed for next year.
The successful poultryman employs
every means possible to determine the
highest producers of his flock that he
may put them In the breeding pen.
Bands made of celluloid can be Sc
cured from poultry supply firms.
"A pullet that has a white beak on
February l has made a fair record In
reproduction and deserves a blue
band on her right leg. Such fowls will
generally have long keels, loose side
bones" on the keel, wide back and
spread of three fingers between the
pelvic or lay-bones, and hand depth
from these to the end of the breast
bone or keel"

STOCKM
Breeding Ewes Fleece
Paws for Maintenance

With fair prices for wool, a breeding
eve almost pays with her fleece for her
maintenance during the year, and her
one, two, or even three, lambs are a
net profit to her owner, the sheep men
at Cornell say. Sheep also require
less labor than other farm animals,
they declare, especially during the busy
summer months, less outlay for shell
ter, and less feed to produce pound
of gain than the average for other
live stock. They eat nearly all com
mon weeds and their manure Is more
valuable than that of any other farm
animals except poultry. Spreading the
manure more evenly on pasture than
by any method man has been able to
devise, sheep build up and improve
the land which feeds them.
A good shepherd. however, learns
by experience, and his life is by no
means all roses. The sheep specialist
of the State College of Agriculture, in
his talks with shepherds about the
state. finds that farmers who keep
even a few sheep welcome help in
making the most of their fiocks.
A new study course in sheep and
wool production prepared at the col
lege collects the experiences of sue
cessful sheepmen all over the state;
those who take II not only exchange
experiences but also have the results
Of scientific study in New York and
other states.
The course Is free to any resident OF
New York state, the only requirement
being that he must have animals to
work with, on either his own or a
nearby farm. AS in the other
study courses from the college, those
who take this one send in written re-
ports of their own work which are
returned with suggestions and ideas
gained from scientific study and from
meeting and corresponding with other
sheep men all over the state, yet
adapted to each Individual.

Winter Is Poor Time to
Gull the Poultry Flock

Sixty hens laid IA eggs in ten days
before culling and, after culling, the
"a hens left laid 133 eggs In ten days.
This report came from Lincoln coun-
ty (Coiorado) farm.
This isn't the whole story, however.
The culling was done in January. We
believe that had the 26 culls been kept
they also would have started laying at
least by the last of February and
would have probably more than paid
for their keep until the following June
or July.
AS a general rule a complete culling
should not be made in the winter or
spring, because even the culls will pay
for their keep from January until July.
1t Is sometimes necessary to Gull in the
winter to make more room for pullets
when the flock must be confined. That
was undoubtedly the case in Lincoln
county, and proably part of the in
crease in egg production was due to
the fact that the hens left had more
room and more food.
Another difficulty in winter culling
is that it is very hard to tell which are
the pullets when the whole flock is
housed together. Many pullets that
have happened to be a little out of
condition at the time of the culling
have been sold when they certainly
should have been left in the flock.-P.
