Alabama's Resources
 Attract HOmeseeEers

|WlT1HlN the last five , or six years
 have settled in Alabama. Most of
 them are farmers and those of agri- cultural experience have prospered.
 A mighty tide of homeseekers will be in evidence in the not far distant future. Farm lands in this state are
 cheap now compared with the prices
 that are paid in the northwest and
 the middle west. But values are steadily advancing and it is wise farmer intending to move from an |icy zone to more genial cline who acts without further delay.
 The south is the richest section of the country. If some of the land is
 worn out it can be reclaimed at small |cost In no state in the union will an investment of a few thousand dol lars be found more profitable than here in Alabama. The United States department of agriculture has done great work in promoting food production along scientific lines. With the aid of gov- ernment experts and local organiza-
 tions, Alabama is coming to be known far and wide not only for it's diversi- flied crops, but as a beef cattle and l Ihog-growing state.
 Industrially the state is rapidly coming into it's own and in the next census large increase in population will be shown. But the big stride will
 be made shortly after the war.

We got to talking about apples and I found out that he had lived up in east Ten nessee and had often been to my old home town, Jonesboro. We had some famous apple trees. A dozen or more years ago l was down on Morris ave- nue and saw g barrell of apples that had mighty familiar look, and asked the broker if they were not 'Deadrick Pippins,' and he replied that they were and had come from the mountains of east Tennessee.

the workers, both Butte and Great
Falls came to the front with right

three out of six and a state senator.
The labor-men too are learning to
stick and it will not be long before
