Gov. Spry. of Utah. in an address of welcome to the members of the American Bar Association. held in Salt Lake City last August. said. in speaking of the greatness of his -State and its opportunities. that they had the land. the water. and the resources. and all they needed is to have people come. locate there. and help develop their resources. We want immigrants to come over and help us on the farm. we want them to help us develop our latent resources. we want them to fill the places and to embrace the opportunities mentioned by the gentleman from North Carolina and Gov. Spry. The immigrants arriving here. realizing the opportunities awaiting the tillers of the soil. are going into the country districts in large numbers. In the year 1913 over 300.000 immigrants who came to our shores were men who till the soil. Labor is in demand. and I believe this demand will soon exceed the supply. According to an article in the New York Evening Sun. the Canadian Government has arranged to advertise in 5.000 American newspapers for farm laborers. It is said over 30.000 farm laborers are needed to harvest the crops of the prairie Provinces of Canada. This is sure to take from us many menmore. no doubt. than we can spare. The problem of distributing immigrants over the country has been. I believe. successfully solved. The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society is doing a great work in this respect.
