It shows an unhealthy state of affairs. let me say. that lands in the Empire State should be so cheap. I do not know that we can sell any farm lands in Louisiana as cheap as that. but we can sell them very cheap. and we would be glad to have the people come and settle on our lands. in the healthiest State in the Union. and under the most favorable conditions for farming. We need more immigration in the South. and I would like to see many people come to live among us. I am telling this little story about corn raising in order that the farmers through the North and West. who are flocking into Canada at the rate of 60.000 a year. carrying with them $60.000.000 of American gold. may know that they can go to the South and engage in the same kind of agriculture that they have practiced at home. to wit. corn and animal industry. because everyone knows that where corn can be successfully raised there animal industry is bound to be a success.
