LAND CONGRESS NOTES
by n. II. THOPSON,
Secretary and General Manager.

lin Alabama stood a mighty poor chance
of doing so elsewhere.
The Florence Commercial club has for
mally notified the management of the
land congress that they are ready and
willing to cooperate with this organiza-
tion in its efforts to induce the farmers
to produce more food and forage crops, in
order to supply what is consumed of
these crops here at home.
The Alabama Land congress is receiving
evidence every day that the last ses-
sions of that body had the effect that
was predicted for them in advance-that
they would prove an effective advertise
ment for the state. Requests are coming
in for information along various lines,
one from Rupert, Ida, asking for copy
of the paper of r. W. Monnish of Tusca-
loosa. on rural credits, stating they were
fnaugurating a system of that kind out
there. Another came from the agricul-
tural commission of the American Bank
ers' association, the writer agreeing to
publish concrete story in the forthcom
ing number of The Banker Farmer, with
pertinent extracts from principal ad-
dresses delivered.
There is only one thing that can keep
the land congress from doing a great
work for Alabama and that is want OF CO.
operation from those who are directly in
terested. Too long have these been pray
ing for some one else to come and do for
them what they should be doing for
themselves. If they will sustain the land
congress and help improve local eondi-
tions around them, there will soon be
fewer waste places and less idle hands in
Alabama.
mt
gress have been pronounced by compe-
tent judges to be the most comprehensive
epitome of the states resources and ad-
vantages ever presented before any other
gathering in Alabama's history. and now
the land congress desires to publish these
and send them out to do their work to-
wards building up the state. 1t takes
money to do this, and there should be
enough public spirited men in Alabama to
provide that for the benefit of the state.
