sSIEHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
IlsrATE cApITAI BunEAu,

MONTGOMERY, Aa., Feb. N.-Iu- creased interest in Alabama as q place to live is noted in queries from out ride the state received at the state de- partment of agriculture. It appears that there are number of foreigners who are willing to pay Alabama the compliment of settling on the lands of the state, provided someone is feund who is willing to finance their coming. Japanese, Mennonites and Poles are the nationalities who are casting hopeful eyes of Alabama, according to commupi- cations received by N. H. Brown, of the state department of agriculture.
 The Mennonites are looking for some one to furnish them land to be paid for when they have made money with which to pay. D.. H. Bender, who holds an of ficial position with the Mennonite col onization organization, has written MT. Itrown that the Mennonites were veal thy in their Russian homes until the Bolsheviki came along and smashed things over there. John A. Rink of New York, isssinterested in financing Polish coioniza ton in Alabama. A third com munication has been received from the agricultural department of the, Japanese association of America, San Francisco, seeking information about Alabama lands.
 Mir. Brown is. not very enthusiastic over any of the queries received, as he does not believe that either of the three nationalities mentioned represent the best type of agricultural. colonizatio for Alabama. In discussing the immigra- tion matter, MT. Brown disa greed with the idea advanced in some quarters that the. agricultural interest of Ala hama and particularly the Black belt can best be served by repopulating the farms of the state with colonists in such numbers as to submerge the exist ing native population. Mir. Brown be- lieves that the native Alabama stock is vastly better than almost anything which can be imported although he does not take the position of discoura ging immigration of the right kind.
