 II MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 26.- Roy Dickerson, noted Alabama bank fobber- and. escape artistSis not in Paris, wherever else he may be on the surface of the globe. At least if he is the successors of M. tLecoq in the French police service have not been able to locate him.
 Y Roy l.. Nolen, associate member of the state board of administratien Saturday received tfom Paris, France, acknowledgement of escape notice of Roy Diekerson, sent out by
 the board following. the offering of ! additional reward last November. The communication, dated January IA, advised that after a thorough in vestigation made in Paris and the 2 department of the Seine no trace of the escaped criminal could be found. The letter. further stated that should any interesting news develop a cable < would be sent to MT. sNolen at once. This is one of a number of ack- nowledgements received by the state convict department since new escape notices containing picture, full de- scription and facsimile of finger prints were mailed following the in- creasing of the reward offered for Dickerson from $40O to $500 by Governor Brandon on recommenda- tion of the state board of adminis- tration on the first anniversary of the escape of Dickerson from the state penitentiary at Kilby as that institution was nearing completion.

SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
tsTATE CAPITAL BuREAU)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 26,-- With the time drawing near for the Alabama farmer to get out his trusty guano distributor and apply the needed stimulus in an effort to grow cotton faster than the boil weevil can eat it., he can take comfort in being assured under the new agricultural code of a higher standard of fertilizer than the farmers of any other state This does not mean that all fertilizer bought ill Alabama must necessarily be of higher grade than that bought elsewhere, but the new agricultural code prescribcs minimum standards well above those in any other state. according to Com missioner of Agriculture J. M. Moore.
 The state department of agriculture keeps a close watch on the purity of fertilizers sold in Alabama, and the last legislature fixed the standards higher than in any other state under the new law, no complete fertilizer, acid phosphate and potash, acid phos- phate with nitrogen O. plain acid phosphate and potash. acid phosphate with nitrogen, or plain acid phosphate may be sold in Alabama, which con tains less than 16 per cent plant food. The former minimum was II per cent, which was raised to 1G per cent ill 1923. No other state in the union has a minimum higher than 12 per cent. The new law fixes the minimum con tent Of nitrogen in complete fertilizer or acid phosphate with nitrogen at 2.0G per cent, an increase from 1G5 per cent under the old law. This in- crease, it is predicted, should Le re- flceted ill higher yields, since prac- ticaly all Alabama soils are low ill nitrogen.
 As to just what the raising of fer tilizer standards means. is shown by the fact that during the 1922 season there were offered for sale in Ala bama 2J2 brands of mixed fertilizers. representing 19 formulas that totalled less than It per cent plant food. The raising of the minimum per cent of plant food from II to 1G per cent automatically eliminated from Ala bama S5.I per cent of the brands and 51.G per cent of the formulas repre- senting mixed fertilizers, as well as all plain acid phosphate totalling less than 16 per cent.
 The consumption of fertilizer in Ala bama ill 1923 was 436,S10 tons, the largest since 19i4. Fertilizer is q costly element in farm production in the state, and is regarded as a neces- sary one especially the quick maturity Of cotton advocated to beat the weevil. Alabama farmers. under the new code. are assured J higher percentage of plant food and less sand or other filler in their fertilizers than those of any other state

muSC De tne Wlie or farmer or you must be nOthing.'
 "Yes it is fact that some of our boys and girls go back to the farm, while some of them go to Auburn and come away teachers of agriculture and demonstration agents, all trying to show the people the way to happier and bet ter living. Others go away to our own, as well as other great universities, and come away teachers, doctors and law yers. Some go to Howard and Bir- mingham-Southern and come away preachers.
 All Mako Good
 "They go to Montgomery, Judson, Athens, Vanderbilt, Tulane, West Point, everywhere. Everywhere they go and anywhere they go, the last blooming one of them makes good. We are proud of the last one of them.
 Because they are all, or practically all of them, poor boys and girls and took advantage of the only opportunity that ever came into their lives, some demagogues would slam the door of hope in the faces of these young men and women because they happened to commit the unpardonable sin of at- tending an agricultural school. If not a one of them ever goes back to the farm, nor never does anything towards the farm, they will <all go away we'll grounded ill the fundamental and scien- tific principles of agriculture, which are not bad things for a nian or woman to know in any calling or profession.
 Night School Taught
 Another work the value of which can hardly be estimated in terms of dollars and cents is the work being done in the farmers night schools, or ganized and taught in different local ities by the faculty of the agricultural school.
 1.-Two nights in a week, Mir. Letson, MT. Branyan and Br. .Brumfield meet these farmers ill their club meetings and discuss with them, first hand, every phase of agriculture and giving especial attention to soils and fertilizers.
 What they have taught us in regard to home mixing as we'll as the judicious use of commercial fertilizers will be and has been worth hundreds and thousands of dollars to this country.
 As every one knows, the soil in this country is naturally poor, but it is more susceptible to intelligent treat ment than any country I have ever seen. So one of the great agricultural problems of this country is soil build ing, and these good men have thrown themselves unselfishly and whole heartedly into this work by teaching the people the value of leguminous cover crops, proper rotation, better methods of cultivation and doing all in their power to make us a better and happier people.
 Patriotic and far-seeing statesmen of the B. B. Conner type, realizing the need and importance of these things, laid the foundation which has made it possible for all this work to be done.
 Yet in spite of all this, and at a time when we need it so much, it seems that there are those wh0> would blow the light out and stop the work just really starting."

 Next was the playful tot we'll repre- sented by Louise Purfoy of Talladega to tie strains of music of "Dolly's Wash- ing Day"
 The next scene was a girl graduate. Mary Bradshaw of Beatrice, who crossed the stage with her college diploma, looking as wisely as anyone who has ever appeared for diploma. In connection with this scene, Nancy Caldwell sang with splendid effect the Alma Mater song.

 this scene was T Love You Truly" Next appeared the bride in the per son of Miss Winifred Castleman of Greensboro, who seemed to be as modest and shrinking as the usual bride. Lohengrin's wedding march was played beautifully by Janice .Fuquay of Alex ander City. ..
 The young mother by Mildred Walker with babe in arms brought forth great applause from the audience. "Sleep, |, Baby Sleep" by Nancy Caldwell at once gave everyone q profound feeling of love and respect for mothers love.
