FARMER STAGES FIERCE FIGHT
 WITH RATHER
(Jasper Bureau)

JASPER, Ala, June 22.-(Spe- cial. .)-Fayette Lay, farmer, W residing on Jasper Route 4, be- yond Blackwater creek, had an ex- citing experience with big diamond back rattle snake, which attacked him in the woods near his home re- gently. Mir. Lay was out in the woods watching a bee course, he said, when he heard a noise on the hillside just above him, and on looking around he saw big snake coming toward him, jumping his full length, it's head going about five feet off the ground every jump.
 Mir. Lay said he had a short walking stick in his hand and the snake threw itself at him and he knocked it off with the stick. Jump ing to one side, he grabbed pole and struck it again as it came back again, he said, looking for him. The pole was a hard piece of sour wood and the blow disabled the reptile. Following up his advant- age, Lay beat the angry rattler to death.
 Mir. Lay declared he had spent nearly all his life in the woods and on the farm and that he had never seen a rattler as large or as fe' rocious.

LAS ANTILLAS:

BY ROGER w. BABSON.

Sr>cial Dispatch TO The Star.
WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, July
1e.-ls there anything especially to
fear from the recent tremendous de-
clines in certain industries?
My reply is that there is nothing
surprising in the recent slowing up
of business, since the decline has
been really indicated in the funda-
mental situation for over year. We
are still going through "A process of
readjustment from the postwar boom
and the sane thing to do is to look the
facts in the face, measure our true
position, and plan to meet conditions
IS they exist instead of sitting around
wishing for a business boom.
Progress Made in Half Year.
During the first half of this year
We made progress in the matter OIL
this necessary readJuStment. Com
modify prices have continued their
broad swing downward. Since in
dustrial commodities have suffered
more than agricultural during tins
half year we find our present adjust
ment between these two groups much
more satisfactory and much sounder
fundamentally than it was when the
farmer was getting pre-War prices
FOR his crops, but having to pay post
war prices for everything he bought.
Industrial activity has also slowed
down. At the beginning Of the year
we found manufacturers generally
divided into two groups. Those VINO
had enjoyed considerable activity
during the latter part of 1928 planned
for increased production during the
year. The other group planned for
an average volume and made no elan D.
crate preparations for expansion. The
first group has suffered and is Suf-
fering rather severe disappointment;
the second group is in much
sounder position at this time.

,ear-have shown a consistent de-

year-have shown a consistent de-
cline.
The margins Of gain have narrowed
until we have finally crossed par"
and are now running below last
years figures. Dullness in textile
industries has been notorious, and
the gradual slowing of the building
hoom-which, however, is still run
ming at. high figures for some Sec
furnished the color for an
otherwise drab decline.
Secs "Moderate" Improvement.
Looking forward to the last half
Of the year the figures would indicate
tha prospect of a moderate improve

eratn," rather than upon the i'm
provement." Several factors support
this expectation. The decline during
the first half of the year has been
Present indications would suggest
that certainly the rate of descent
must slow up and eventually give
way to a sidewise movement.
General business activity, for in

IS per cent below normal for the last
two weeks, shows resistance in this

which stands at 10 per cent below

Money Rates Favorable.
There is no question that available
credit and favorable interest rates at
the present time constitute a favor
ing factor for any improvement which
may develop. The better alignment
of farmer prices and industrial com

mentioned makes the farmer more

His problem Is not solved, by any
means, but so far so good.
The hand-to-mouth buying policy

last few months has tended to de-
