bytIng in the United States; for he does
t know, or does not believe, that we have
got over the worst, and are now gradually
emerging from our inflation period, and
resolutely settling down to good,
lido work. Our cities are still over
crowded with unemployed artisans
but the agricultural districts of
the West and South, especially of the latter,
hare plenty of room and a hearty welcome
for the sturdy German laborer. He can there
purchase a farm at a more nominal price for
les, indeed, than he would have to pay or a
year's rent for the same number of acres in
hii native land. Our agricultural Implements
and our live stock are superior to those of
lermnany; our facilities for shipping farm
produce and disposing of it at remunerative
p rices are goold; our schools are goodx; and
there are many more good things in store for
the immigrant who comes to our shores and
eassist in developing the dormant resources of
our great expanse of agricultural domain.

directed energy, and it is there where the hon
est toiler will find his labor not only amply
rewarded, but there will be generous aid
given him by the resident population- -and

ployed to independent ownership and culture
v( homesteads on fertile lands. In the West,
and especially in the South, there are numer
ouns Iumigration societies In existence,
whose purpose is the encouragement of im
ton and extending aid to agricultur
m abroad or from other sections
eUnited States. So anxious are the
laud owners to dispose of their lands and
lo see them cultivated that the Louisiana
Immigration Association, for instance has
r Gemay urgently recommended that societies
to encourage immigration be organized in
*very parish of the State and called a State
convention to be held in N'ew Orleans on the
second Monday of January next, "to take
Into consideration the most active and feasi
ble means that will bring to our State good
and reliable classes of immigrants." In this
convention the planters, the several commer
dal bodies of New Orleans, and the municipal
government of the Crescent City will be rep
fbeented. The objects of the convention are
"to bring into use the many thousands of
mm of lands now not fully cultivated." This
iiaply means that good lands-uplands for
cotton and the rich low lands for sugar and
