"What kind of machinery will you
have for the bagasse industry n
"Ah, can't talk about that just
vet. The machine has been invented
and will be used as soon as our plans
are put into operation. The bagasse

"Where will the laborers come in
on this scheme ?"
EACH LABoRER A. STOCKHOLDERS.
each labOrer is to be made a
stakeholder of the association ; and if
he has no money he will be ena-
bled to pay for the stock by the means
of labor. Every laborer will be given
a comfortable house with improve
ments, and one acre of land. He
will be allowed ten years time to pay
for the house. He will be given one
half of everything he makes during
the year. 1t is calculated that la
borer can make $1,000 a year upon
this plan; 5000 of this amount will
go towards supplying the needs of
himself and family, 800 to the pay

ADVANTAGES TO IMMIGRANTS,
"Is it true that only immigrants
will be engaged to work the farms p
"Not by any means. Every etfec-
tive worker will have an opportunity
to become a stakeholder, white as
we'll as colored. Of course there are
great many colored men who are
almost worthless as farm hands, but
we will guard against the admission
of such persons. The colored man is
lust as fond of home comforts as the
white man, and there are numbers OF
them who can appreciate comforta-
bic and well conducted home. Fol-
all such we offer a hearty welcome
and it will be our aim to secure theil
