poets to deal most with the individual whom they will bring into our state. This organization. however, is sure later to react into a greater field, and through their connection with the Southern Commercial Congress it is ex- pected that they will be able to bring many colony settlements to the state.
 BIG MEETING CALLED
 During the week the leaders from all sections of the state will be called to Birmingham to work out the more minute details of the campaign, then the work will begin, and from then on you may expect to see many strange faces over the state. It is for us to remember these are the people from other sections we have brought here, have invited here to live among us, and every Alabamian will extend every courtesy and every hospitality for which the state is noted.'

CANADIANS TAKE UP FARMS
 IN NORTH CAROLINA

In an interview with Mir. Cruikshank. recently of Saskatchewan, Canada, whose home now is in North Carolina, and who is owner of one of the daily newspapers in that state, he made this statement.
 The Canadian farmer owing to the high prices that he received for his pro- ducts during the war, is out of debt and has money iD the bank, and for the first time in his life he is free to admit that he is tired of the frozen north and the conditions under which he has to farm there. He is thinking of the south, and he wants information regarding that section. The same is true in the states of the northwest. I my self am bringing 200 farmer families into North C,arnli1nn from c.......-Ia.

Major w. M. Matthews, formerly of Birmingham, but whose home is now at Beleville, Ala, who has been recently chosen director of the bureau of agri- culture organization and colonization of the Southern Commercial Congress, Washington D. C., is in Birmingham to assist the Alabama Commercial League in it's campaign to make Alabama known to the world. Major Matthews has been

 FINANCES
 The Alabama Commercial League pro- posed to raise a fund of S100000 per year to use in the campaign over a three year period. The Ninth district of which Birmingham is the greater part, is asked to raise $20,000 per year for three years, setting the pace so to speak, for the other nine districts which are asked to raise the balance.
 PERMANENT ORGANIZATION
 This organization is not effected for the single purpose of raising funds with which to advertise Alabama, but is per- manent. The officers and county com mittee of this organization are in a sense disinterested men, in that they are men who have no lands for sale; these men have pledged themselves to serve on these committees, that they might see that the prospective settler whom we at tract to this state, is propertly treated; that he is reliably informed as to the true conditions in their respective coun- ties and that they remain with us as satisfied, substantial citizens.

WANT FARM HOMES

State Commissioner of Agriculture M.
 Algood who is solidy behind this Dfnovement of the Alabama Commercial League, in a talk before the Community Club in Birmingham on last Tuesday
 pointed out that on recent visit to s1Hinois his attention was called to the fact that where a renter had recently died in that state there were twelve men at the funeral to the owner of the farm to rent it; all of these men had from s10oo0 to $25,O00 but owing rto the lack of land in that state and the Prevailing high prices they were not

WYOMING LAND OPENING

You have only to know the facts re- garding the recent land openings in Wyoming to be convinced that there are thousands of these soldiers who have money who would be glad to come to Alabama and establish good homes were there some agency to direct them. On the Shoshone project in Wyoming the government announced there would be available seventy-seven farms; that the applicants must accompany their apDlt- cations with $500 cash. Service men were given a sixty-day preference right in filing. There were 5000 service men who applied, and of that number 2,20O made the trip from all parts of the United States be present at the draw ing. The pric- of the water right was s95 per acre, and these men understood that they must have money for their homes, barns fences, tools. live stock and q surplus to keep up their operat- ing expenses until their farms become sef-sustaining.
 In the past few years there have been more than 1,60O000 Americans who have crossed the line and gone over into Canada to buy farm homes The answer is there has been a great directing agency in Canada which has directe these people there.

 that it was such men as these we need
 in Alabama; that the conditions in Illi-

 ditions in Ohio, Indiana and many other of the older states.
 300,000 SOLDIERS WANT FARMS
 There has been millions of dollars spent to interest soldiers in farm homes, and yet the last Congress adjourned without completing this legislation. The results are there are about 30O00O ex-
