Mr. Speaker. it contains other and more important elements than cereals. stock. and farms. It contains a population composed of the most thrifty. intelligent. and energetic races of the Old World. and immigrants from the rockribbed hills of New England and the prairies of the middle West. I suppose onethird of its population is foreign bornnatives of Norway. Sweden. Germany.
