You will find that in those States where there is a large percentage of the farm land improved there is also a large percentage of the rural population composed of these same " undesirable" foreigners. as my friends from the South choose to call them. while In Southern States. with their large percentage of nativeborn whites. you will find a very small percentage of the farm land improved. This again emphasizes the fact that wherever you go you will find that the farmer of foreign birth or foreign parentage is thrifty. industrious. and a willing worker. and that he should be considered a national asset of inestimable value. For years I have been closely in touch with immigrants and I am thoroughly familiar with their ambitions. their ideals. their aspirations. and I believe I am safe in saying that there is nothing closer to their hearts than their desire to get out in the country and settle on some land which they can some day call their own. Although they may go to the large centers when they first land. because they are not yet familiar with conditions here and do not know what sections of the country are the most desirable. at their first opportunity they leave the city behind them and hasten into the country. into the forests. and onto the prairies. which within a short space of time they turn into fertile fields and productive farms.
