 Rid of RIacIxheads

sSILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL

MONIGOMEh1, Ala, Marcn lI.-- Is there Hungarian colony at Calvert, Mobile county? Recently the capital correspondent of The Age-Herald sent out story to the effect that there was such Q colony. and that it's members were in need of funds to buy fertilizer and seed, this article being based on in- formation from the state department of agriculture.
 Recently. N. H. Brown, of the state department of agriculture, received a letter from J. s. Earth at Calvert, deny- ing the existence of the Hungarian colony. TThere is no such colony here, only one family" he declared.
 Information as to the existence and the needs of the reputed colony had been received from Dr. Erwin F.. Crab owski, signing himself s'secretary, Hun ganian Industrial Culture alliance '' under date of November 4, 1923.
 In order to throw some light on the mysterious colony, the existence of which has been denied, the following letter from Dr. Grabowski, addressed to "The Honorable Secretary of the Agri- culture Department" is given as fol lows:
 "The colony of the Hungarian fruit growers at Calvert, Ala, has been or ganized by many reputable good farm CTS who arrived here lately with their families for the purpose of cultiyatins many thousand acres adopted for truck ing and satsumas just as well for straw berries and cattle raising. s.x They are much distressed at present, although very anxious to prepare for fall planting, but owing to the traversed immense long distance, after great losses from the late frost in the spring they have been exhausted to such an extent that they are unable to buy, in time, sufficient fertilizer and seeds to produce | good results in the coming spring. There is also an urgent need for tractors, the ground being uncultivated for. several years during the war.
 "The property and early progress of this colony is of vital importance and constitutes demonstration inasmuch as this unit is the first one f.. the state since the concentration of the Hun. garian farmers into the state of Ala. bama has been introduced and recom- mended to the Hungarian Industrial Culture alliance, which institution is chiefly devoted to the education of the
 hungarian working classes, and pur- posely, by substantial information, ! wants to eradicate undesirable literature and propaganda such as the bolshevistic and communistic organizations, are spreading among the Hungarians and other farmers who, in lack of proper orientalion, are Hooking to many large industrial centers where there is no prosperity for them in view.
 May therefore request your CO., operation and assistance in securing the welfare of the colony in the aforesaid matter and will await your kind in structions as even you would require 1 my personal appearance at given in stance to your convenience" ss
