Then will be the time to commence and to continue personal solicitations among prospective settlers in the different sections of the north and west.
 Besides the addresses, I have person. ally obtained from interested parties dur ing my trip to the Ohio Valley exposi- ton. we have received quite number of letters from various states in the north and west requesting information as to lands, etc.. in our district. Among these are three letters representing 40 German Hungarian families who seek just such a location and opportunities as we have to offer and one from a Swiss-German, representing 25 families of his countrymen now living In Ohio, who are ready to come here in the near future if necessary arrangements can be made.
 Negotiations are also under way to establish an experimental, or, better called, sample farm; and to make ar engagements by which good families who do not possess sufficient money to start with could be helped along to make the first years crop"

Sidney W Lee. of which 800 children in Jefferson and surrounding counties are members Mr. Lee has received up to date over 100 bushels of peas from 40 children. and is tad ha oP The committee unanimously agreed that these peas are better than any shipped in now to the Birmingham market from other states, and promised its hearty cooperation in the further en- couragement of the children in the state upon these lines.
