ALABAMA FAR DOWN
 IN VALUE EXPORTS
Only Florida Has Poorer Show
 ing, Records Show

MOBILE, Ala, June 7.-(Special Leased Wire. )-In the battle for su- premacy in world markets, Alabama ranks far down in the list, notwith- standing the fact such authorities as Roger w. Babson, internationally known statistician confesses the state leads in natural resources, according to official figures of the Lurcau of foreign and domestic commerce of the United States department of commerce at Washington.
 The story of Alabamas' poor showing in the fight for world business is shown in a communication received yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce and the same news is disseminated through the Washington department to all states of the union.
 The value of exports with the excep- tion of Florida, from each of the ten southern states, is considerably greater than Alabama. The figures were for the first three months of 1924.
 Leaders of the foreign bureau of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday said that Alabama's products would have to find foreign markets and that producers and manufacturers would have to change work to increase the state's value of exports. It was stated that nearly all the natural resources of Ala bama are in demand in foreign coun- tries and that the export record could easily be improved

4,OOO BLACK BASS
 PLACED N SIPSEY
Summer Campers Begin To Uti-
 lize Forest Reservation

MOULTON, Ala, June 7.-(Spe- cial. )-B. NJ. Lufburrow, head of the Alabama forest reservation, has this week received 4,000 black bass with which he is stocking the head waters of the Sipsey river. It is estimated that this number will stock something like 40 miles of that stream and its small tributaries. The fish will be pro- tected, although sportsmen will not be prohibited from getting permits for fishing in the stream with the condition that all bass up to seven inches in length be replaced in the water. The fish is one of the best for the mountain streams.
 The Alabama forest is rapidly assum: ing a national park-like appearance, and it is only a question of few years until the numerous ideal locations for summer camps and homes will be util- ized. Already some are recognizing their value, especially along the Sipsey over in the Winston county portion of the reservation. Many beautiful spots are found scattered over the almost 67,OOO acres of Lawrence county lands.
 With the early completion of good roads across the forest and of suitable highways to it, the Lawrence county acreage, with the 32,54S acres of Win ston and Franklin, will make one of the best of the national reserva tions. At present q small revenue is being re. turned to the counties for rural schools and roads, but as the timber and other resources are developed, this will bring in considerable revenue to the counties.
