part of the house until the water re-
ceded.

IMMIGRANTS WANTED
Efforts viii Be Made to Bring Them
to Delaware.

A bill will probably be introduced at
this session Of the Legislature which
will have for its object the bringing
of desirable immigrants to this State.
The plan proposed Is TO give the State
Board Of Agriculture an appropriation
sufficient to enable it to bring the
claims Of Delaware as a farming dis
trict TO the attention of desirable peo-
pie in foreign countries. It is not pro-
posed to give them free land but to
bring the attention OF these people to
the merits OF Delaware land and the
prices for which It can be purchased.
Delaware has many acres Of cheap
farming land, which is exactly what IS
desired by the better class OF immi.
grants from Germany, Holland anC
other European countries.
Maryland has recently made efforts
to SECURE immigrants in the same man
ner and has been successful.
