If we could advertise our State
enough to attract large immigra-
ton from the North and from Europe,
our people who are now land poor
would be rich. Whether the immi-
grafton brings money, or not, it
would do good. More workers means
more use for lands, and more use for
lands means wealth to those who are
now poor.
