There was a good chance afforded to try that out last year in England. The Canadian wheat farmers were in desperate need of harvest hands. An invitation was sent for the immigration temporarily of several thousand unemployed British coal miners. There was a world of trouble in making up the quota. although those men were unemployed. When they got to the farms most of them left in less time than they had agreed to serve. Some of them would not even go to the farms when they got to Canada. and some of them took a look at them and turned right around and went back to the cities. The experiment was a dismal failure. Those people do not want to emigrate.
