There may be lull in business in
some parts of the country, but nothing
of the sort is in evidence in the south,
said b. Il. Cochran of Chicago.
Il was in Texas the other day. and
that state is booming as never before,
perhaps. ! spent a day in, Mississippi
and from all accounts, prosperity is pre-
valent in most of the towns in that
state. About three weeks ago, Il was in
Georgia, and prosperity is more in evil
dence over there than it was year ago.
AS for Alabama, 1t was never so thriving
as it is right now. The high price of cot
ton is making what Is called the black
belt wonderfully prosperous. I believe
the whole state of Alabama and the
south taken as section are enjoying
phenomenal prosperity.

Working for Immigration

The Colonizer, published In London is
an admirably illustrated Journal and it
is understood to be an excellent medium
for advertising land in America. Major
M. v. Richards, land and industrial agent
for the Southern Railway, has an at
tractive advertisement in a recent num-
ber of the Colonizer, and nearly a page
of that publication is devoted to Ala
bama. There are two beautiful half tone
illustrations-one showing herd of calves
IL months old in Alabama and the other
a field of cabbages in Alabama.
The Colonizer's article begins with
few statistics showing that this state
has 81 1893 square miles, as compared with
,991 in the British Isles. Alabama's s
population in 1910 was 21SS,O93. OF the
5000, 600 acres in Alabama less than one
third, it is stated, are improved. The
article referred to continues in part as
follows
Alabama holds an enviable place in the
American union as regards position, soil,
climate, and other resources. 1t extends
from the semi-tropical temperature OF
Florida to the cool heights of the APP
palachian range of mountains: its west
ern border is the state of Mississippi The
altitude ranges from few feet above the
sea on the Gulf of Mexico coast to over
5000 feet in the mountains
This great state is divided into two
general districts-the mineral and the
agricultural. In the valleys the soils are
extremely rich and of high excellence for
all branches of husbandry. On the coast
al plains in the southern part, the soils
generally are sandy loans. The famous
'black belt of Alabama lies in this dis
trict, embracing an area of land not ex-
celled elsewhere for general agriculture
The soils of many parts of Alabama are
especially adapted to the profitable pro-
duction of various market gardening
crops, etc. The chief crops of Alabama
are cotton, MAIZE oats, wheat, rye, hay,
potatoes and ,other vegetables, fruits and
nuts. Although every county reports cot
ton to some extent, there is concentra-
tion of it's acreage in the counties of the
middle and southern parts of the state
In acreage maize (called corn" in Amer
ica) is evenly distributed.
Alabama has the advantage of a cli-
mate that is at once even, mild and
healthful, and suitable for giving the
results in the growing of various crops
and in the conditions bearing upon the
success and low cost of raising livestock.
No part of the American union has a
more euuable climate One can be out
of doors there practically every day in
the year; in fact all the territory of the
Southern railway system, extending from
the Atlantic ocean to the Mississippi
river, and from the Ohio river to the
Gulf of Mexico, through the southeastern
states, is an an-year-round country.
great advantage is that one may go
there at at any season of the year.

The prodnce problem

"There has been mucn ulscusSioH oi
the high cost of produce in this city
for a year or two past" said former
retail dealer in perishable provisions,
but few people outside of the deal
ers themselves have realized one of the
main causes of the high price that pre-
walls among both wholesale and retail
concerns Vegetables and fruit differ
very much in nature from staple ar
ticles. They last only a few days. They
are irregular in shape, size and quail
ity. They cannot be classified like
canned goods or dry goods.
zone will have noticed that nearly
all vegetables are used from private
gardens without much sorting. You will
also notice that when you have more
of one kind of vegetable in your gar
den you generally use more of that kind.
Yet on the other hand when produce is
purchased as rule, no thought Is
taken as to whether or not the vege-
table wanted is in season or not, or
of the country and how much tribute
has been paid to the railroads. Each
customer wants the best and choicest
grown, and does not hesitate to take
the pick. And IL any article comes be-
low their high standard it is passed by.
1t is human nature. no doubt, that
each person should consider only his
or her own family and get the best
when possible; but 1t is not in the ma
ture of things that everything should
be the best and that vegetables out of
season in this part of the country and
consequently shipped here from Florida
or California should be the same price
as those grown at home.
Naturally the waste and extra
freight consequent to the fastidiousness
of the customer is considered when the
prices are made, or the merchant would
not be long in business. Hotels res
taurants and clubs try to use vegetables
that are in season as much as possible
and are reaonable in their require
ments. and as the dealer is familiar with
this fact, the price to them Is con-
siderably lower than it would be 9TH
erwise.
"The retail dealer demands from the
wholesaler what his trade wants.
therefore the wholesale or truck man
gets the same lack of consideration
that the retailer has from the public.
