 Alabama Will Be Spared.--The securing of sites for public improvements has been prolific source of official fAvoritism and cor ruption. It appears that, thanks to General Sibert particularly, Alabama may be spared this! with regard to the, docks site; but even when the necessary land is secured at its real present value, the charge, in so far as it is in excess of improvements upon the land represents "hoid-up' of the public, for it means that the public having made the land value must compensate some private holders for resigning the privilege of collect ing it and it's further future accruals.-Fair- hope Courier.
 Farmers Should Raise Hay.--fn place of purchasing hay and fertilizer, the Lawrence county farmers, as well bs those of other counties in Alabama, should raise hay of variety that will not only be better in qual' ity than most of that which they buy, but at the same time enrich the soil, thus re- ducing the annual fertilizer expense. All the legumes-cowpea, soy and velvet beans make hay of much better quality than can usually be purchased, on the market and at the same time enriches the soil. The farmer who raises legume hay reduces both feed and fertilizer bills. As long as the farmer follows methods that compel him to pur' chase both feed and fertilizer he will con tinue to be poor-Jacksonville Argus.
