THOMPSON IS BACK
FROM TOUR OF STATE
Spoke in Interest of the Ala
bama Land Congress
NOT YET UNDERSTOOD
People Ignorant of Purpose of Organ
ization, He Says-Securing De-
sirable Settlers for the
State Is Problem
NOT YET UNDERSTOOD

Col. n. F. Thompson, president of the
Alabama state Land congress, returned
to Birmingham yesterday. after an ex-
tended tour through the state. during
Which time he addressed the commercial
organizations of several cities in various
portions OF the state on the plans and
purposes of the land congress. The task
of organizing on a permanent basis was
committed TO Colonel Thompson at the
meeting of the executive committee held
in Montgomery on January s, and this
is the work in which he has been en-
gagged.
There is as yet only faint concep-
tion among the people of the state as to
the real ends and objects of the land con-
gress," said Colonel Thompson, although
the newspapers of the state gave much
prominence to it prior TO the Mobile meet
ing in November and are now doing very
valuable service in the matter of aid
ins: in getting rural credits, on which the
congress is at present working steadily.
But this is only one phase of the gem
eral work planned, the broader scope OF
the work of the congress being of equal
il net more importance. The organization
was founded to create a spirit of cooper
alton among all those forces and agencies
that could aid in the upbuildng of Ala
bama, for it is much more of a problem
now to reach successful solution of the
matter of securing desirable settlers than
at any other period since the close of the
civil war.
There are so many competitors at
work and such strong agencies in the
field that Alabama must go after this
question in different manner if she would
win. For illustrations: There is a very
strong combination of agencies at Chi
caso. reviying the old cry, Go west,
young man!' and thousands are being at
trected into Canada and that bleak north
western country by it. There were over
300 600 American farmers emigrated last
year into Canada and it is estimated they
carried with them over $5,0aQ.000. Then,
again, Texas has a strong organization,
claimed to be the strongest on the Amer
lean continent, reaching every portion of
the state. That organization is sending
untold sums annually to boost Texas
ana attract settlers, while the sum that
Texas is spending for good roads, bet
ter schools, improved methods of eultiva-
tion puts all other states in the back
ground. The Alabama State Land con-
gress seeks to obtain a policy of CO.
operation, active and permanent, between
commercial organizations, newspapers,
banks. railroads, land owners, farmers,
agricultural departments of state and ma
ton, as well as technical schools, in the
work of upbulding Alabama.
