 It Did Not Get votes.-4It really appears that the hoary old free seed graft is dead and has been buried. We are of opinion that members of Congress got wise to the sort of non-growing seed unloaded on the gSvcrn. ment and concluded the sending out of such would not make votes. opelika News.
 Unusually Glenn Crops. The cleanest crops we have ever seen are those adjacent to the main highways along which we have recently ridden in this county. The farmers are not making their crops in Ford cars this year. They are down between the blow han dles fighting grass and turning fresh soil to the growing crops.--Andalusia Star
 Value of a>S Close Shave. Several candi- dates who got in Tuesdays primary had ay narrow escape and will make better officials than they would have possibly had they TO- ceived>a big majority. A close shave is some times worth much to the old officerholder who has grown old in the service and has an idea that he can continue to succeed him self regardless. Huntsville Star.
 Chance for Big Industry.--If Alabama, and especially Calhoun county, would pro duce. the fruit that easily could be grown here. the supply for homecoming and pre- serving not only would be ample, but can ming factories could be established at sev- eral points and q profitable industry devel- oped that would be a great benefit to the ofcbardists and a source of income to the various communities.

 Warm Words for Loafsrs. There has been unkindly comment on the statement made that vagrants, loafers, idlers, lounge lizards and race track ramblers should bs arrested, fined and put to work on streets and roads. The statement stands as printed. There are several thousand able-bodied be- men who eat, sleep, dress and do not work They are a menace to society, to the state. They are blisters on business. They are unfit to habitate with humanity. They are

 A Source of Great Wealth--In Alabama all records of electrical production are being broken, and the sources of supply have scarcely been scratched.

 A Piea for Co-operation-The Wiresrass Farmers route correspondence is falling off. Uncle Bill sticks to us with the tenacity of { one who succeeds in all undertakings, and of recent weeks the correspondence of Red Bird has graced our columns But those casa ual observers of their community's doings. Spindle Shanks, Mas Songster and Potato Bug, have not for several weeks tuned their Tyres to song, We can generally get q note or two out of them by gentle prodding, as in this wise, but they soon fall back into that silence which at present engulfs them Whats the matter now with you fellows Wiregrass Farmer.

All kinds of feed can be raised in abundance at home which are essential in the money making profits on your milch cows, and if you desire to sell only butter fat and have the skinned milk for the profitable raising of chickens and pigs, you can easily have these two addi- tional sources of incomes, to say nothing of what the fertilizer from your herd of cattle will be worth to your land.-Cullman Tribune.
