Arkansas Needs lmmigra-
 ton of the Right Kind
 Says the Commissioner
(By Jim G. Ferguson)

Arkansas needs immigration of the right kind One good immigrant family brought to the state is worth thous- and of dollars to the community in which they locate With their capital their energy and their presence they give new zest to the industrial and social life of the neighborhoOd, casting helpful influence about them and exerting a big force in the develop
 ment of the country. In the older states where high-priced land and over-crowded conditions have combin
 ed to limit individual opportunities, there are many industrious families
 with plenty of means, used to good living and experienced in farming and Itstock raising who want to bring their boys and girls, their purebred stock
 and their modern euipment and make
 new start in Arkansas, where the land is low in price and there is plen ty of room to expand.
 Through the new Bureau of Immi-
 grafton connected with the State De- Agriculture, I am trying to attract a desirable class of immigration to Ar kansas and with the information that has been sent out l am receiving many ! eager inquiries from earnest people who are intensely interested in our state. Some of them want hill lands
 for stock raising. some want bottom
 lands for corn and cotton some want prairie lands for rice and grain grow ing and some want orchard lands in
 our peach or apple belts. I am try, ing to direct these people where each immigrant will find what he wants and become satisfied citizen of the state,
 It would be helpful in this work if the department had list of farm
 lands that are for sale. Then when inquiry was made about particular To- cality the homeseeker in the distant state could be put in direct touch with the owner of the land. Such a list should give acreage, the location and indicate the character of the soil and nature of the improvements, suitabll- ity to crops and price and terms. A tract might be described in fifty or one hundred words and detailed informa- tion furnished in later correspondence. This is a service that I will be glad to render the land owners of Arkansas and any farms listed will be classified and published for distribution where it
 month of July the Immigration Bureau supplied information to 2100 prospec7 tive homeseekers. If ten per cent of these people come to Arkansas it will
 be worth more to the state in one year than the Bureau costs in ten years.

 looked so good to the stranger. There
 was never such a demand for infor-
