The plan Of assisting the poor work

them with funds to emigrate seems to
have been almost a complete failure.
The leader of the movement reports
hat there are no less than twenty-four
societies in London for aiding emf
grants, but that they do not raise
more than $4,000 a year for the pur-
pose, and only helped 2.118 persons to
emigrate last season. The trouble is
evidently of a twofold character; too
many societies, and too little public
sympathy with their work. The

At the agricultural convention called
by commissioner Colman, of delegates
from agricultural colleges, the com
missioner gave utterance to these
words concerning experimental work
at colleges: He said there was nothing
which would so attract and rivet the
attention of the agricultural public to
the colleges as experimental work. On
the college farms should be tested
every variety of fruit, cereals, grasses.
TIMBER trees. and even domestic AMI
mails, and those found in all respects
adapted to the locality should be dis
seminated by the college. Thus one
college farm would be trying expert
mentS for hundreds OF thousands of
farmers. who would enjoy the benefit
and not suffer the losses in Money la
Dor and time of making the tests for
themselves. He could see the neces-
Sity for a great national experimental
farm also, which he would have estab-
lished near the capital, and if he might
go further, he would establish upon it
a permanent national or worlds expo
sition, where the products of this and
other nations might be exhibited side
by side. These views were Endorsed
by the convention, and resolutions pass
ed requesting congress to make appro.
priatlon for this purpose to all sgri,
cultural colleges.
