supporting agricultural schools as a
remedy for enforced Unemployment
and John Ellis of Boston, secretary of
the national convention of the uneln-
ployed recently held at st. Louis, had
a conference with Secretary of Agri-

letting the unemployed have Access to
such farms, he would send experts free
