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.

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.

The Lyons Loan find Abstract Company LYONS, GA, 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. L. C. Underwood, Mt. Vernon, Ga.
