^ALABAMA'S DIl
An article by P. O. Davis, of
the extension service of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute at Auburn,
printed in the Manufacturers' Record,'
? - ;'f
says diversified farming has saved
the day in Alabama. He further says
that there is an optimistic outlook for
; the farmers. At this time when di.*v
versification and better marketing fa.
t
rfviiitioss fnr diversified crops are being
?
discussed in Georgia and South Carolina,?states
which have but recently
been ravaged by the boll weevil.?
the experience of Alabama which has
had the boll weevil for five years or
more should prove interesting and
helpful.
Mr. Davis says in part:
"As is generally known throughout
. the country, Alabama was for many
years considered a one-crop state, and
that crop was cotton. The coming
of the boll weevil and the demands
for diversified farming have greatly
p.;^; changed the conditions in Alabama.
5-: \ It is true that Alabama farmers rej&f
ceived a terrible blow in 1920, but
they were by no means 'knocked out.'
'' On the other hand fchey seem to have
caught a new vision of agriculture.
"Of first consideration is the fact
that in 1920 the Alabama creameries
j^-" * handled a total of 2,500,000 pounds
of butter, whereas at the beginning,
v in 1915, there was no creamery in
: Alabama, and no cream produced on
|?<;" a commercial scale. Figuring the
. v. the price of butterfat at 50 cents per
ph.. , pound it can be seen that the Alabama
farmers received in 1920 $l,-i
|fc 250,000 for their cream.
^ "Bitt dairying it seems was really
just started in Alabama in 1920.
The Alabama County Demonstration
Agents, who keep their figures on the
pulse of every agricultural development
in their respective counties, are
Ife?...Vcontinually reporting dairy develop:
' meats which are not abnormal, even
though they may'be unusual, but at
p. x- *. ' the same time on a sound construciflsK
'tive basis.
Iv v. "A few extract^ from county agents'
reports are sufficient to indicate just
| what the dairy development means.
t County Agent J. A. McL?eaa, or union
$ Spring, Alabama, says that:' 'Our
creamery station is just a little more
Chan two months old, but it is now
shipping 600 gallons of cream, or
about 700 pounds of butterfat each
&?' week.' '; i
"A report from County Agent E. R. j
Jamie9on, of Hale county, concerning
fZi- the crea mstation at Greensboro, tells
a great story in a few words. This:
. report says: The Greensboro cream j
station was opened the last week in!
C August, 1920, and of the first week
the cream station at Greensboro, tells
era $13.04 at market prices. Eleven
* * " 1 T? 1? 1 nf>1
monies later oa Jiuy, u<sjl, me umfe
* V" terfat shipped from this station net&?
ted the farmers $366.32.'
"These two reports are,representative
of the state. Never a week passes
when county agents do not report
either that a creamery station has
Ifei opened, pure bred dairy cattle purjpt
WE HAVE FOUND "AGENDA.*'
Definition of Word That is Now
:Having Its Run.
; ' . This word "agenda" is having what
BpfeKs.theatrical folk would cajl a "run."
p: Modistes and haberdashers might say
"oorand!)" ic ' sin vnenip." observes
WUU C WfNViiUW A? t VQ?.V;
fey . the Washington Star. Other persons
Aight say that * "agenda" is all the
|-V ""rage." It is a leading word, a very
." pronflnent word, and never seems to
make its appearance in its singular
number, which is "agendum."
'Before the world turned to "agenda"
it w;as "simply crazy" over "allo.
. ? cation." It became popular during the
war in connection with ships and
} -j f
loans. The "allocation" of shipping
and the "allocation" of loans came to
be current phrases. The Senate called
on Mr. Wilson for information as to
how he had "allocated" certain funds.
In a newspaper story about an operatic
benefit it was said that "the al4
location of boxes is to be based on
the size and date of the contribution."
'"Allocation" is so closely allied to
* "allot," "assign" and "apportion"
that the shipping and treasury authorities
might just as well have said
ithe "allotment" of ships and the "apportionment"
of funds. But words
oome into fashion as do styles in
socks and neckties.
And now it is "agenda." The words '
"programme" and schedule, and the 1
phrase "order of business" are passed j
over. "Agree" to the Romans meant;
to manage, conduct and perform, and
"agenda"' were things that were to be,
done. Later it came to have the spe-i
sific meaning of things to be brought
before a committee or council.

VERSIFICATION^
chased, the installation of cream separators,
or other dairy equipment.
I These reports come from all sections,
and by far the majority of counties
of the state.
"And the Alabama farmers are
turning to other lines of farming.
Dairying enables them to receive a
j check every two weeks, but they do
i not want to depend on dairying alone.
In certain sections of the state hog!
growing has become extensively developed,
and to some extent, in all
parts of the state. Not long ago the
writer saw the farmers sell in one
day, at one point, hogs that netted
them more than $23,000. It happen,
ed that this was one of the largest
sales in the state,-yet all the cooperative
hog sales in the state in <5ne
year brought the farmers more than
$1,000,000, and individual sales
doubtless increased the amount by
tens of thousands of dollars.
"From a crop practically unknown
commercially ten years ago the sweet
potato crop has developed in Alabama
until the present crop i9 estimated tty
the department of agriculture crop
reporters to yield 22,413,000 bushels. |
"Along with this great increase in
the production of sweet potatoes for
commercial purposes, sweet potato
curing houses are being constructed
for the purpose of curing them in the
fall, storing them during the winter
and putting them on the market
throughout the year.
"The method of constructing these
storage houses has been so nearly perfected
that when they are properly
constructed and managed the loss is
practically negligible.
"Sweet potatoes are being raised
all over Alabama, and in addition to
die storage houses which were previously
constructed the present indications
are that new sweet potato
storage houses will be constructed in
the majority of Alabama counties this
year.
? - ? *
"Feacn growing m Amuctma i? uuu
being overlooked. According {o the
present indications, about 250. acres
will be planted to peaches in Conecuh
county next fall and winter; 200 or
more in Tallapoosa county; 100 or
more in Lowndes county and 200 in
Covington.
"Along with peaches, strawberries
are receiving more'attention. Early
in the spring a group of Jackson
county farmers pledged themselves to,
plant more than 100 acres in straw-1
berries this fall; and plans are now
under way for a nice strawberry
*?
planting in Limestone county.
"Another important fact in con
nection witn Amutmio. agnvuivu>&
that the farmers are practicing coopeeration
as never before. They are
learning that by cooperating they can i
standardize their products, put a bet-j
ter quality on the market, receive the j
best market price on the day of the
sale, and that by putting efficiency
into their selling they are enabled to^
put their products in the hands of the
consumer at a lower price than they!
would otherwise pay."
TWO LOSE LIVES IN BATTLE.

Men Meet in Ravine in City of Union
Near the Seminary.
Union, Oct. 20.?Jim Ross,' an em-|
ployee of the Union Oil mill, and Jes-|
se Lindsay met in a ravine near thei
Mminarv and shot each other to
ggiui/tw* j i*? ? ? ? ? - death
at 7:30 last night. The bodies,
were discovered early this morning
l^ing about 50 yards apart, both still
grasping the weapon with which the
fatal shots were fired. Both were;
shot in the breast and death was al-|
most instantaneous. It developed
that bad blood had existed between
\
them for some time and the meeting
was supposed to be by chance.

LONDON WOMEN LOVE TO SMOKE
Store Clerks Complain of Habit?Say
Danger From Fire Considerable.
London.?When it gets to the point
that store clerks complain and storekeepers
have to write to the papers to
protest against women smoking in
their shops, things have gone pretty
far.
That is what is happening now in
London, and it came about through
women strolling out of the restaurants
and special tea and coffee smoking
rooms in department stores, cigarette
in mouth, to visit other departments,
puffing away as they made
their selections at tne counters.
Even in England it is not considered
courteous for men to smoke in
shops. TUiere are not actually any
notices posted up, of course, but it
has always been the custom for cigars
or cigarettes to be discarded, especially
on entering those shops where
women's clothes were srfld.
It is not the discourtesy the Shopkeepers
complain of, but the danger.
They assert that tJbe girl and woman
smoker is notoriously casual, and
would just as soon drop a lighted cigarette
on a pile of lace as on the floor
?where she usually does drop it.
It is because of this disregard of
smoking conventions?because of the
women, not the men?.that the papers
are full of letters from people protesting
against smoking out of place
in trains, in the subways and in hotel
and club .rooms. Indeed the whole
thing has got to such an irritating
pitch on the trains, that several railroad
companies have put up "nonsmoking"
signs signs on a few carriages
in every train (instead of a few
"smoking") and left the public to
fight the thing out among themselves
[ in all the rest.
j Smoking at all in public is already
being referred to by a certain section
of people as a relic of uncouth times
when expectorating was also polite.
It is significant that this view is not
neia oy oia iaaies aim persuus, uy any
means, but by young men and business
women who protest that they demand
and reserve a clean atmosphere
to and from their work, the only time
they get to read .their papers, and
that London air is sufficiently polluted
without adding this unnecessary fog
in trams and trains.
NO PLACE FOR A LIAR.
Secretary Hoover Dismisses Bureau
Chief Who Fostered an Untruth.
Washington.?Uncle Sam is trying
to build up a straightforward, trustworthy
service?where there is no
place for a liar.
Secretary Hoover recently demanded,
the resignation of one of hk most
important bureau chiefs because he
found out that official had toll him a
lie.
Lying is an unpardonable offense
in the navy. This was emphasized by
Rear Admiral Wilson, superintendent
of the naval academy Annapolis,
wiho, in expelling a midshipman, said:
,-)High standards of character are
vital in military organization. Men
in other walks of life may trifle with
the truth in everyday affairs and suffer
little as a consequence. We .can
not be so-tolerant. The fundamental
of an officer's value to the service is
his trustworthiness. Lacking that, he
l^cks all."
< i ? m
Why He Wanted It.
The librarian in a certain southern
city was approached recently by a
large colored man with a great deal of
assurance. "If you please, ma'am,
Ah'd like to get an encyclopaedia," he
said, handing her his card.
"Why, what do you want with an
encyclopaedia?" she asked him, surprised
at his unusual request.
"Well, ma'am," 'he explained, "us
colored folks has organized a literary
'ciety and Ise on de programme for a
papah on 'Current Events' an' Ah
wanted to read up a little."
