While it is true , the advande jn the price of cotton has been a large factor iu this reaction, It has not been the sole' oause. The gen era! surroundings of the farm have changed, and by means of better roads, the telephone, the automobile, the bicycle, the ru ral delivery of mails, and bolter railway communication, tbe farm Is no longer an isolated spot, but m most instances, a part of the city, throbbing with its activities while free from tbe crowding dis advantages of a city life.

An immigration Bureau, devot ed only to this missionary work to the farm,* would do more in one year than would be possible in ten years in fields where sues cess is and uncertain factor, al ways. We have a vagrant law that fits many of these cases, but its spasmodic enforcement just after ite enactment, that promised so much, the interest in which has since lapsed into a state of most intense "innocuous desuetude,” shows, that we are n>t suffering from tbe absence of statutes in this particular line, but, rather laxity iu the enforce ment of those that now comber our Statue book.” Union A-aocistcd Press.
