MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 13.-(Special.) Provision has been made for the de- velopment of industries on property to be filled in when the state docks are built at Mobile. The docks commission, in the selection and purchase of site, has provided for the future as well as the present needs of the port and a part of the land acquired may be avail able for lease to industrial plants for 25 years, or even for longer periods.
 The immediate construction of Ala bama's port terminals was assured when the first $1 100000 of port improvement bonds were sold by the state docks com mission at a premium of $2S,5OO. A second bond issue of $2,000,0OO will be placed on the market before actual con- struction is begun on slips, wharves and railroad yards, and the plans drawn by the state docks commission provide for the expenditure of the full $10,0OO,0O0 authorized by the legislature of Ala bama at it's session in 1923.
 Gen. William L. Sibert, U. s. A., re- tired, as chairman and chief engineer of the state docks commission, was ap- pointed to that position by Governor Brandon last October. He and his as- sociates on the commission, former Gov. Charles Henderson and F. G. Blair, have made such progress in that time that the site for present and future sea- port development has been obtained from numerous owners, plans have been made for the entire project, subject to

such changes as, may prove necessary. The co-operation of the Louisville x Nashville railroad and other railroads entering Mobile has been obtained and the commercial and physical history of this seaport has been given exhaustive study.
 Progress in the building at Mobile of a state-owned terminal system may be summarized as follows: The legislature submitted and the voters adopted an amendment to the constitution of Ala hama reversing the policy of the state relative to engaging in works of internal improvement, to the extent of authoriz- ing legislation providing for bond issue for the improvement of seaports, at a cost not exceeding $10,OOO,OOO.
 The next succeeding legislature passed the seaport enabling act, giving force and effect to the seaport amendment, creat ting the state docks commission to be the port authority, and providing for the purchase of the necessary sites, after the appraisal of property desired for improvement It made provision for the issuance and sale of bonds, and clothed the governor of the state with authority to approve or disapprove the actions of the board in such matters as purchases of land, sale of docks securi- ties and appointment of discharge of officials of the commission.
 The first step of the docks commits sion involved the purchase of Farmers Island and other property situated be-

M OUR years ago last February Dr. w. D. Partlow decided to at
 tempt the production of suf- ficient supply of peaches, apples, pe- cans and grapes for the 2,00O pa- tients in the Bryce Insane hospital at Tuscaloosa. A poor washed clay hill side was selected as the location of the fruit orchard. This was care fully terraced with patient labor un- der supervisor. Seven hundred trees were planted that spring and 700 were added the next spring mak- ing a total of 400 peach trees plant end on about 12 acres of land. The work was done under the supervl- sion of the department of horticul- ture at Auburn, while tLe writer was head of that divi ion, and has been carried on under the supervision of the writer ever since.
 The first crop was harvested in the season of 1923. At that time 700 trees were making their third years growth and an equal number their fourth years growth. One thousand and twelve bushels of fruit valued at $3,O00 were harvested without sin gle wormy fruit being found and without the loss of a gallon of fruit from decay. The second crop has just been harvested. Three thou sand four hundred and four bushels of fruit have been harvested and weighed this season without the loss of a bushel of fruit from. worms or decay. This crop is valued at S7, 900. This makes a total value of $1O,OOO from 12 acres of trees, not one of which is yet five years of age. or SSS3.33 per acre. The trees have

 On Visit
lTnscaIoosa Bureaul

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Sept. 13.- General T. Q. Ashburn, Capt. B. T. Dickley and Robt. A. Brown, of the ad- visory committee, arrived in Tuscaloosa from Birmingham through the country Saturday morning and addressed the luncheon meeting at the McLester hotel of the board of directors and the transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce. General Ash burn spoke mostly on the city wharf at Riverview on the Warrior river, where he recommended changes for better handling of brick. He announced that a packet boat will be put on the river from New Orleans and that the service would start in about 60 days. He spoke of the problems of the river and said that the future success of the barge service was assurd. The party returned to Birmingham a short while after the luncheon.
 Big A. Enrolment GrOws-Register- ation books of the University of Ala bama shows there are 54 more students enrolled this year than were last year. The total registeration in 1923-24 was 2,179, and 2,250 for the current ses- sion. There have been slight gains in arts, science, education, engineering, commerce and medicine, with some loss in law. The decrease in registeration of law is due to the gradually increased Some conception of the growth of the university may be gathered when the present large is compared with the of the grand total of only 390 students in 1911-1912, the first year of Dr. Denny's administration.
 Chamber to Meet-The general monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held Monday night. John Rogers, of the state lighting de- pertinent, will be one of the principal speakers; J. S. Sutherlin, of the Ala bama Power company, with offices in Birmingham, will talk on the white way.
 Scholarships Awarded-Robert Eos ter of Tuscaloosa, and Adolphus Ma lone of Coker were awarded the schol- arships offered by the local Rotary club. The cost of the scholarship at the University of Alabama were di- vided between the two young men.

MORE THAN HALF OF AL ABAMA FARMS ARE M0RTGAGED
IS SKELETONS ARE TAKEN
 FROM MOUND

ELORENCE, Ala, Sept. 13.--
 Eighteen skeletons of mound
 builders have been taken from an ancient Indian burial mound at the mouth of Town crook, near here.
 Workers from the Smithsonion in- stitute, under the direction of Ger. ard Fowkes, had spend several weeks in excavating the mound be- fore the skeletons were disclosed. The bodies lsid been buried under a huge mass of shells, flint arrow heads, stone hammers and copper immlements. A copper bead, green with age and almost decomposed lay near the necK bones of one of the skeletons uncovered.
 One of the specimen uncovered displayed a set of teeth in both jaws, which was in fair state of preservation.
 The skeletons are to be preserved for study by scientists, and many of the relics found in the mound also will be subjected to study to deter mine some of, the habits of the h. dians of that time.
 The site of the burial mounds soon will be covered by the waters backed up by Wilson Dam at Mus cle Shoals, it is said.
 Members fthe Writers conclavs
 Members of the writers conclaye witnessed the opening this week of other parts of the burial mounds.
 Peter a Brannon, curator of the state department of history and ar chives, has been invited by MT. Fowke to assist in the excavation of old mounds.

Hospital Peach Orchard
 Makes Remarkable Record

not yet reached their full produc-r tion.
 This record is especially remark able when it is known that all the work in the orchard from the start has been done by patients under the supervision of MT. c. l.. Langston, of the production of high-class fruit as being possible only when all the factors are favorable, but in this case the only favorable factor was an abundance of very low-class labor.
 The results in the grape vinyard of 800 vines is little less remarkable. lit stands near the peach orchard. l do not have any except the present years record which shows a yield of S,S3O pounds, or more than HOO pounds per vine, valued at $2. This means a yield of $500 per acre for a single season.
 The apple orchard of 2,500 trees is just beginning to bear. The writer and others who have seen many of the best orchards of the north and east have pronounced it as good as the best and better than any other orchard ever seen in the south.
 Dr. w. D. Partlow is not only making a great record as superin- tendent of the two insane hospitals under charge but he is setting pace as q scientific agriculturist that is hard for the best farmers to follow. The farm at Tuscaloosa as well as the farm at Mount Vernon, Mobile county, is a remarkable example of up-to-date southern farming, and is attracting a great deal of attention.
