CANNING INDUSTRY IN
ALABAMA SECTIONS
Okra, Berries and Tomatoes
Yield Large Profit On
Small Investment.
The Selma, Ala., correspondent
of the Montgomery Advertiser,
Montgomery, Ala., writes that
paper as follows, in part:
“Thecanning industry is grow
ing in magnitude more and more
with the passing of each year in
central Alabama. The present
magnitude of the business is
known to but few, even in this
section of the state, but each
year the wholesale dealers of this
city ship hundreds of cases of
canned goods that have been put
up by the farmers of this section.
“The phenomenal success
which the small plants have met
with in past years causes other
farmers to investigate and more
and more of the rural population
is engaging in this business on a
small plan every year. It is also
causing more and more of diver
sified farming among the rural
citizens and as the output of
these small canneries are always
in demand the diversified crops
are proving profitable to those
who are growing and canning
them.
“One farmer living some miles
west of Selma plants a number
of acres of land in okra each
year. Some years he grows two
crops. On his place he has es
tablished a small cannery and
the crop of these acres of land is
put up in pint cans and through
the dealers of Selma are shipped
in every direction from here.
Okra is an easy vegetable to grow
and with but small expense and
trouble this farmer each year
makes a paying crop.
“At another small country
place near Selma a progressive
farmer has been making money
by canning the wild blackberries
and dewberries which grow in
profusion in this section. In the
spring the negro farm hands pick
these berries in great 'quantities
and peddle them for 5 cents a
quart. This farmer buys them
by wholesale at even a smaller
rate. He cans them and they
ure shipped to all sections thru
dealers here and afford a dainty
dish for tables in other sections
at all times of the year.
“Tomatoesas well as other veg
etables are being canned each
year in great quantities by the
farmers of this section of the
state. The trouble attending the
operation of such a plant is
small. The profits derived more
than treble the profits from any
of the other crops grown by the
owner of these canneries. They
are what are termed ‘short grow
ing’ crops. They grow and ma
ture quickly and then the land
can be devoted to some other
crop.”
Reduce the Cost of Living.
They have in Germany an idea
for reducing the cost of living.
It is called the Raiffeisen system.
In effect it has united the peanut
farmers of Germany into co-oper
ative agricultural banks, which
in 1909 did the immense business
of more than 1,600 million dol
lars, as reported by the interna
tional institute of agriculture at
Rome.
The Raiffeisen system unites
the farmers of any locality in a
co-operative hanking association)
which lends money to members
and others. The Sehulze-De
litsche system is a proprietary
variation of this plan worked
with share capital. Under the
older Landsehnft system farmers
unite their land and other assets
to co-operative credit and borrow
outside capital in large sums in
stead of borrowing individually;
in small sums.
The advantage of all these sys
tems is that the oroader based
credit of many men associated
enjoys a lower interest i-ate than
any one borrower could alone se
cure. The Lindschaften are 140
years old, though they reached
imposing magti aide only within
the last half century. New York ■

SOUTH NEEDS GREAT
MANY LIVE STOCK
Heavy Demand for Them,
and Great Opportunity
for Stock Raisers.
Washington, D. C., February
16. “The South offers over
$100,000,000 yearly to livestock
raisers who will locate in that
section and supply the demand
for meats. The South consumes
more meat per capita than any
other section of the country.
Fifty Southern cities are offering
over $22,000,000 yearly to dairy
men who will supply their de
; mand for dairy products.”
These startling statements are
made in an unusually attractive
booklet devoted to stock raising
in the Southeast which has just
been issued by the Southern rail
way system for distribution
among stockmen and farmers of
the West and Northwest in an
effort to induce them to move in
i to this region and take up the
raising of cattle, horses, mules,
sheep and hogs, thereby enrich
ing themselves and keeping them
selves in touch with the South
the vast sums now being paid
other sections for meat and dairy
products. Attention is also giv
en to the great opportunities for
profit in raising poultry.
So important to the interests
of the people of the South does
i the Southern railway feel the
live live stock and dairy indus
try, that in addition to advertis
ing to the outside world the
great field open for profitable de
velopment in this direction, it is
now operating a “Dairy Instruc
tion Car.” over its line in the
states served by it for the pur
pose of giving all possible infor
mation to the people at home
about raising live stock and the
production of milk, cream and
butter.
The booklet is filled with splen
did illustrations of stock, forage
crops, ideal dairies and pasture
lands, and live reading matter
telling of the exceptional advan
tages awaiting the practical
dairyman and stockman in the
Southeast. The wide circulation
which this handsome booklet will
be given should prove an effect
ive boost for the South.
Needs Local Regulation.
Did or did not Congressman
Hardwick slip a little in his doc
trine of state rights when he ad
vocated the other day the pass
ing of a federal law regulating
weights and measures? It is I
true that Mr. Hardwick said his
proposition was to apply only to
interstate commerce, but would
that solve the problem of weights
and measures as Mr. Hardwick’s
constituents would like to have
them solved? The Tenth district
housewife does not buy her but
ter and flour and lard in another
state, nor would the Tenth dis
trict farmer who ships his cotton
to Savannah come under the pro
tection of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The people
who suffer most from short
weights and short measures are
the retail purchasers, who are
forced by circumstances to buy
in small quantities. And regu
lation of such weights and meas
ures is a matter for states and
communities. A general govern
ment law on the subject would
scarcely touch the consumer at )
all. Savannah News.

Money To Loan.
I am in position now to secure
loans on farm lands and town
property in Montgomery County.
The lender that will handle my
business is especially desireable
for parties that want big loans
on farm lands, and for those who
want to build homes in towns.
Their interest is 6 per cent.
Terms five years, the borrow pay
ing 1-10 each year thereby re
ducing the interest, and princi
pal so the final settlement will be
I easy. The money for building
|or improving homes in towns is
also 6 per cent, money, and the
loans are arranged so the bor
rower repays monthly for 60
months. You only have to add
a little to the amount you are
paying as rent to own you a
home in a short time. I think
this a good way for a person to
get a home.
