New immigration
Laws Needed in
the United States

The immigration problems Of ue
United States are more acute than
those Of any other country m the
world For fifty years Congress has
been developing, step by step, a pol
ley for the regulation Of immi grn-
tion. This has been Increasingly a
selectiye policy-a policy for the ex-
clusion Of the seriously diseased, fla.
grantly immoral, dangerously radical
and only recently, wholly illiterate
individuals. Aside from these rcstric-
iions, the law allows free immiRra-
tion, except that for forty years Asi-
attic labor has been fairly effectively
excluded In spite Of increasing re.
strictlons immigration grew 20 vast
proportions during the decade before
the war. especially from the couln'
tries of North, East and South Eu.
rope. Striking facts, standing .oGi
in connection with immigration dur.
ing the twelve years from 1909 81
1920 inclusive, show the great need
for emphatic action at this time. Dur
ing that period there was a net IN
crease II i.f85,9s7 forcign-born per
sons in the United States, after de-
ducting the number Of foreign-born
who left during those same years
The largest net increase IN single
year was si7Gt9 IN 1910.
The present emergency three per
cent law win expire June 30, 1922
and unless new legislation is adopted
the bars will be let down and a great
influx ~ forcign-borr may be ex.
pected. ~ the countries Of the Old

our farmers are opposed % the use
Of Mcbane seed. The Acala seed Ia
rrefcrred 10 any 10 be used in this
region, or the Knsh seed. These two

tive seed In West Texas. The Du-
rnngo seed Is also a high class seed,
but h takes more bottom land for
