FARMER RIMMIGRANTS.
NOT so MANY COMING HERE
AS FORMERLY.
Marked Change In the Character Of the
PeOpls Coming 70 America from
Enrope-lncrease In Persons Seeking
Hsnes in Cities

Between the years 1880 and 1890
1e,vo0,00O of the 100000 immigrants
WHO came into the United States were
natives of Great Britain or of Ger
many, and the number of Scandinavi..
ans WAS nearly 100000. The great
majority of these newcomers, especial
ly those from Germany, Norway and
sweden, were farmers whose destina-
tion was the west. The term the west,
as understood by immigrants. meant
at one time the western counties of
New York and Pennsylvania, later the
states Of what is now called the middle
west, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois; then
The tians-Mississippi states of Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas, an3, finally,
the northwestern states, to which,
prior to 1895. most of the new immi-
grants went In the last few years,
Notwithstanding the prosperous condi-
tlon or American manufactures, the
larss harvests and the liberal prices
1or cereals and live stocks, there has
oeeh marked falling off in the immi-
grafton of farmers to the United States
OF immigrants seeking homes In the
large cities and manufacturing towns.
The official figures of the calendar year
OF 1Soo have not yet made their ap-
pearance, but the total number Of i'm
migrants will not be far from ATS ,O0e.
and OF this number more than 100 900
were from Austria Hungary another
100000 from Italy and another 100 900
from Russia and the Polish provinces
OF Germany, while Great Britain fur
nished less than $4,000, OF which num-
ber 10000 were from Ireland. These
new immigrants seek homes and en-
ployment in the large cities. The fer
tllity and productiveness of American
farms is as great as and in some cases
greater than it was many years ago
