LETTERS TO EDITOR
Alabama's Advantage

To the Editor of The Age Herald. It has always been a mystery why people should go to the blizzard wilds of Texas, the white sands and palmetto flats of Florida, or that dreary region called the northwest, where they blow their land four months and snow the ! other eight, when the gulf belt offers such flattering return on the invest ment.
 The skeptical should take trip to Baldwin or Washington counties, Ala bama, and see land that five years ago sold for S1O per acre, raise figs, peaches pears, strawberries, Japanese persim- mons, satsuma oranges and paper shell oceans. netting the owners $500 per acre. A Mr King of Baldwin county. to tesl out the Spanish peanut, raised on sin gle acre 312 bushels. A MT. Zern of Washington county, in 15-acre field of corn, averaged 63 bushels and - pounds per acre.
 This is no fairy tale. as the history of this crop is reported on page 32, ill Bulletin No. 3S of the Alabama state agricultural department, issued Decem- Der 15. 1910. Quoting Mir. Edmonds of the Manufacturers Record: Tn the gulf states lie the opportunities that VIII enrlcn lHousdhuS ,ol settielS rom all parts of this country and Canada who are crowding in to occupy the pro- ductive fields which for so long have been withheld from the activities of the husbandman. This land of opportunity, this land of limitless possibilities, has achieved much. In the next 10 years 1t will achieve infinitely more." MT. E. M. Elliott, in an address at the Northwest ern university, said: Go south young man, get nest egg" All eyes are to- ward the south;- and I marvel that an American could be induced to go to northwest Canada. while there is any available space left in old Alabama. One can buy a home most anywhere, but you can't buy climate. So sayeth r. w. Keller of Pennsylvania, now visiting friends in Walker county.

THE COMING OF
 THE MARINE BAND

1 The leading event of the day, socially speaking, is the concert to be given this | afternoon at o'clock, followed by a night appearance at the Jefferson theatre by the United States Marine band. It is
 hoped that the concert will be presented to fine audience. The appreciation of
 ruusic is on the increase in Birmingham
 and society gives the stamp of approval to what is good
 Apropos to the increase of musical ap- rreciation and taste locally, one is re-
 minded of a comment upon its growth
 in the very center of things musical-New 1crk-which appeared in a recent jour-
 ral. The editor said:
 "It is only when we consider what mll- sical taste was in this city 40 years ago that we realize our indebtedness to those who have labored to advance it and to
 stimulate the public interest in fine com
 positions. When Theodore Thomas first
 tried to popularize classical music at his Broadway garden in the early seventies number of enthusiasts, largely of for esgn birth or extraction. attended his classical concerts faithfully, frequently with American friends whom they desired to educate. MT. Thomas and his follow ing may rightly be called the pioneers in musical education--a work that was car ried on later by Rudolph Bia1, Dr. Dam
 rosch and his sons and many others. It is largely owing to their efforts that the
 taste for good music and the opportuni-
 ties for gratifying it have increased with such extraordinary rapidity. More than
 once this season there have been on the same night, in addition to opera, no less
 than five concerts of high class music
 anG all of them crowded. Moreover, peo-
 ple no longer go to the Metropolitan
 crera house to gape at the leaders of society in the golden horseshoe, but to
 listen to the music"
 The same idea prevails in this city
 There has been added to the regular mu- sical cult large number of society folk sometimes the supposed "butterfiy' of society, or the frivolous bachelor of the
 to be supposed musical comedy taste who genuinely love good music, who are ready to patronize grand opera should
 it come. and who seize upon the few "cfumbs' of fine music which comes by concert or festival route, real music
 hunger. One of the greatest factors in bringing together people of this taste has been the Music Study club which has been quiet but constant in it's efforts toward development of a musical atmosphere. 1fis club, by the way, is to be a benefi- cary of the concerts here, any funds ac- c uing should they come out ahead, being
 added to the park concert fund next sum rner

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Say to the comet sazers that Brook S comet is now showing plainly to the naked eye in the east in the late morn ing hours. It rises about 4:15 and shows until duyl;Aht. It rises a little left of sunrise. This comet is called "circum- polar" and is the only one of which the writer has any knowledge that could be seen both evening and morning.
