weekly trade and industry review fol-

SrPPORT OFFERED
For Thousands of Immigrants In
This County.

The matter OF resources In soil
products for the employment OF inn
migrants was an important point
brought up IN the i'm
migration convention, and It was
settled that Kentucky could offer
employment and support in filling
the land to hundreds of immigrants.
Dozens spoke on the subject and ma
ny sound arguments and facts were
presented, but the latest, and one
which will mean a great deal to-
wards convincing the skeptical,
comes from Prof c. II. Shrieves.
master OF science who has just
come to Paducah to take charge OF
the science work in the High school.
"This is a fine country down here"
Prof. Shrieves declared, "and | new
err in all my life saw such big corn
fields. Why some OF them seemed to
have no eAl. never saw anything to
equal it in all my life." Prof.
Shrieves came from Boston and the
agricultural features of this county
surprised him. The further south he
came the wider his eyes opened.
From Prof. Shrieves' observations
many thousands of immigrants might
be steadily employed in farming in
Kentucky.
