At llif meeting of tlic Farmers' 1'nion in Columbia last week resolutions were passed asking thai 11 to immigration department wtiicli has been put upon the State through the ^ work of certain parties bo abolished. This is not the first time that this !' request has been made, and it is to ' lie hoped that the legislature will have men in il at its next session who will see that it rs done. There was never any t?ood reason for the establishment of such a de- ^ partment. Already thousands of dollars of the I;i\* pavers of the Slate ' 1 | I have heen wasted on il Id ud purpose, and the time has eon,- when It should be done away with. 1 Smith Carolina wiii glady welcome i> sturdy h"Me seekers, but she has-no | use for people who have to be stimulated Io seek her shares by holding >( out to llinn inducements in (he way 'sj of free transportation, and other attractions which appeal to the kind of jj jieople we do not need. Here is what j| the farmers have to say about it: "Whereas foreign Immigration Is S) being advocated for the South, and sl whereas, our United Slates immigra- ()( iton commission is investigating tho / attilmle til the agricultural classes, Therefore be it resolved.

The owners of such tracts are " ?ften at a loss to know what to do vitli them. r Without question, rtie IicnI use to * vhich land of this kind can be put S?1 s to plant it with trees. One of the undamental principles of forest conomics is, that soil which is not food enough to make the growing of ? ereal crops 'profitable should be de ,*oted to to the production of wood M'ops. This does not mean that rees grow better on poor soil than on fertile soil. They will, of course, Up >tow better on fertile soil. Put, in proportion to the money invested, Ol letter returns are secured from Irces planted on the less valuable land. e ill soil of medium fertility. All t, however, <lo not thrive on poor, \ ^ i idges, or on hillsides where ;"il is Mack walnut, hardy l|>a, and white oak, for their best lojunent, require a deep, fertile well watered and well drained, it is not advisable to plant thorn e these requirements are not met. i Ohio farmer is solving the pro> i'what to do with Hie worn-out i. lit- owns an old homestead of acres, which he desirous of ing in the family.
