HEADQUARTERS OF THE CALL, 5 HENRIETTA STREET, COVENT To GARDEN, LONDON, Aug. teach Irishmen to farm on Ameri- can lines is the object of an Inter- esting scheme receptly conceived by | Sir Horace Plunkett. Sir Horace is vice president of the Irish Board of Agriculture, but he Is Dbest known in the United States as the owner of large ranches in Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. An agent of his named Blair is now in the United for the purpose of inducing young Irishmen now in American cities to go on Sir Horace's ranches and get an insight into the system he em- ploys there, in the hope that they may be induced later on to return to Ire- Jand and become practical agricultur- ists in their wwn country. He will also send out direct a number of young men from Ireland next month. He will pay their passages, and from the mo- ment they commence work onm the ranches they receive wages equiv- alent to what unskilled labor would command in any city or town in the United States. Sir Horace has com- mencaed to recognize the evils of emi- gration as it affects Ireland, and he is prepared to make big sacrifices to com- bat them. It is estimated that this experiment of his willcost him at least $20,000. The Irish Board of Agriculture, of which he is practically the head, ha nothing to do with this scheme. It purely an idea of his own. He has re- cently taken much interest in the work of the Anti-Emigration Society, and he has succeeded in finding employment at home for quite a number of young men and women whose passages had been paid to the United States. Under h regime at the Board of Agriculture fruit growing, improvement in forestry and the peat industry are opening up fresh avenues of employment.
