The country is new. there is no soil for agricultural productions. The consequence is that he finds the money he carried with him is rapidly being exhausted. and. ordinarily. in five cases out of seven perhaps. unless he can obtain some employment. he is obliged to give up his claim and return to the East. Every influx of immigration to that country breaks up more of the sod and consequently allows the ground thus broken to fertilize. so that the man who. after a lapse of four or five years. follows the one who has given up his claim. is enabled to take advantage of the work previously done and may thus possibly become an actual settler of the country and succeed in raising agricultural productions. The first man who comes there and after trying to sustain himself for a year or two fails. being absolutely starved out of the country. forced back into the old settled sections fbr the purpose of securing employment for .himself and support for his family. has virtually abandoned. you may say. his claim. The man who follows him learns perhaps of his address.
