This estimate is based upon report furnished to The 8outhera Farm Mag hz i no by representatives of - leading railroad operating principally in the , South, and they' reveal' moat gratify Inn results of the practical work ' which, the railroad are doing In the ' cauae of immigration to the Bouth, . The-e reeulta are, to a large extent, , cumulative, following from persistent work carried on In come instance for . 10. or It years and promising even greater records In' the near-, future. .
