The state, the commercial bodies and other business interests should begin now to arrange for a creditable showing at the New York land show. No money could be better spent. There is no ques- tion of the practical value to the state.
 An exhibit of agricultural products can be assembled with little care from Ala bama that would class up with that from any state in the Union. We can show larger variety than a very large majority of the states and in most of the products we can show as good quality. Our corn will stand beside that of the middle west. We can show as good wheat and oats as any section. We can bring hays that net the farmer from s4 to s6 more per ton on the farm than the alfalfa growers of Col orado receive for their products. We can make a showing of practically all the vegetables and fruits that can be grown in the United States. We can show oranges, lemons, grape fruit and Califor- mia grapes. We can show apples and po- tatoes as fine as those that grow in New England

 The New York land show offers an eX- ceptional opportunity Thousands of in terested people will attend the exposition to examine the products and investigate the opportunities for new and richer fields of agricultural enterprise.
 Alabama should be there with it's corn, cotton, potatoes, sugar cane, hay, vege- tables, fruits and other products. Hand some prizes are offered for the best show ing of all these products, and knowing the possibilities of Alabama as l do l am confident that we can capture some Of the best of them. But this is not the aim that we should hope to attain. If we want to share in the great movement of agricultural immigration we must show these prospective home seekers what we have to offer.

ALABAMA COULD
 MAKE FINE SHOW Should Send Products to
 Madison Square
LAND SHOW IN FALL
Creditable Exhibit of Products Would Stimulate Immigration to the
 State More Than Any !, Other Thing
By WALTER HARPER

The American Land and Irrigation ex- position, to be given at Madison Square Garden in New York city, November 3-13, offers the people of Alabama an oppor- tunity that should not be neglected.
 The exposition or land show, which, by tfie way, will be the first ever held in the metropolis of the country, is being backed by practically all the big railroad and ether industrial interests of the United States and Canada.
 The agricultural possibilities of practi- oally every section of the two great coun- tries will be expedited in a practical way that cannot but be of great advantage to every section represented.
 Special inducements are being offered for exhibits from the south. The south tional variety of industrial opportun- ties should take advantage of this rare opportunity to put it's claims before the public
 We want choice. intelligent agricultural immigration in Alabama. We need it now more than ever before. There is no bet ter way to attract this immigration than by showing the opportunities we have to offer.
 For two years Baldwin county in Ala bama has exhibited judiciously at the an nual land shows at Cincinnati and Chi cago. As a direct result of this practical advertising thousands of first-class far mers have transferred their activities and their cash from the west and middle west to Baldwin county and that imme- diate section.
 The eyes of the country are turned to the south East west and north the peo- pie are eager to know more and more about this section of sunshine, variety and infinite promise. Alabama has more to offer than any other southern state. Now is the time to advertise. While there is an eagerness for information the people of Alabama who really desire the devel- opment of our great natural resources should get busy in supplying that infor- mation

Along with these we can show soil and geological survey maps that will open the eyes of the Yankees. Pinned to these we can pin statistics of rainfall and tenn peratures that will look like dreams of Elyseum to the shivering farmers of the northwest and east
 Those 'bloody Yankees want to know something about these things. They have heard in vague way but most of them are skeptical. Next to the southern peo- pie they are the best people on earth. We want to know them and they will want to know us when they are shown the manner of folks we are.
 They are intelligent and appreciative as well as enterprlsing. They are seek ing new homes and would come to the south if they knew what to expect. we need them in our business" Let us go after them in earnest. It does but little good to exploit the advantages of our country in our home papers and on the floors of our commercial organizations.
 We must go to these people with the proof We must show them some of our tarnips and cabbages; let them taste our oranges and grapes; let them 1edSt on some of our yam potato pies and feel the. texture of our cotton. A sample of corn pone carries more convincing argument than half ton of illustrated pamphlets.
 It would be entirely legitimate to make a showing of the great mineral resources of Alabama at the New York land show in that it creates and maintains an ever growing market at home for all the food products that can be possibly produced on the lands of the state.
 If the immigration department at Mont gomery and the commercial bodies of the state really want to advertise the great advantages of Alabama for homeseekers let them put creditable exhibit in Mad ison Square Garden next November. Now is the time to begin. The expense would be nominal in comparison with the benefits to be derived.
