Our sllIl Grange IL correct IN fe-
gfding Immigration for The consider
alton Of our order. Ia my opinion II
u lhe only door Of permanent relief "a
our state In lie present condition. The
experience Of ten years has demon
sIrslcd beyond a doubt that our pres.
cnt system Of holding aud trying TO
cultivate large tracks Of land with
our present labor Is disastrous. That
the cultivation Of cotton at present
prices and non production OF proyis-
ions Is funous. That VIC are in debt,
aud owing TO our social change we
must follow the rule insnrlng prosper.
ily else where, viz, subdiyide our lands
sell enough 10 pay our debts and at
the same time cultivate our land with
more skill and intelligence, which can
not be done till more capital and in
telligence is concentrated on small
farms. Much OF our land is idle for
want Of capital to direct its cultiva-

acres of his unremunerative lands on

Ind. We must offer such inducements

as will certainly attract. Sd. A judi.
cious arrangement of statistics IRON

health, crops etc.. which can not be

grant cordial welcom from our Or
Ter in the shape Of pledge that we

Organization is accessory to utilize
he above conditions aud our Or
ler has that organization, and it it

We can bring immigrants and restore

lsks your assistance. We must do

conditions are favorable except the
