Growing States.

gent, commissioner general of immigra-
tion, has had a conference with the
representative Of Q big transportation
company regarding the coming to this
country Of immigrants who should take
up agricultural lands of the south,

labor in the south, particularly In the
cotton-raising states, has induced
some of the transatlantic Transports
ton lines to investigate the matter Of
diverting 9 part Of the immigration
Of this country to the cotton-growing
states. Mr.. Sargent said that he had
heard Of the proposition to establish
q steamship line between Italy and

It is this fact that makes me recon-

wood chopper. He would clean up
the shores thoroughly, plant the will
low, cherry, mulberry; plant alfalfa,
wild rice and all sorts OF seeds that
would strengthen the shores and at
the same time feed the fish, the fowl
and the beast and equally contribute
to the profit and the use Of the men
who own these lands. Then be would
make money at it also, enough to
urge him on to do the work quickly.

10 ranks Of wood to q tree and at
$3.50 for each rank, would figure as
follows: 1888, 1888 trees times 10 times
$3.50. equals $5,74s,999. Quite bit |
OF money. Enough to urge the wood
chopper to cut them down In o hurry. |
