Austin Transcript: Mr.. Berg uDd
arrived in Minneapolis Friday. BE
doe~ not intend to lose any time, and
| departed for Little Falls, Minn, near
which town he has taken up claim.
He came from Fruithurst, Freebo1n
county, Ala, but he is not at all in
love with that country. Fruithurst
is in the center Of a fruit growing
section OF the state, which is as yet
not thickly settled. The principal
product is grapes. Mr.. Burgland
purchased tract of ten acres from
the Alabama Fruit Growing and
Winery Association, which had a large
piece of land divided into ten-acre
allotments. and these were sold. A
number of poor people invested their
savings in the scheme, ,and it is claim
ed that the association afterwards
went to pieces. Berglund has been
trying to make his ten acre farm
productive. However, extensive and
severe frosts visited the section last
spring, and the vines and young
fruit were greatly injured. In conse-
quence the crop this year will be much
reduced.
There will probably bea crowded house
