CITY LADS IN THE COUNTRY.
The Immigration League of Australia, while steadily pursuing its main object in creating a healthy public opinion on the subjoct of the urgent necessity for increased population in the Commonwealth, is also carrying out a practical policy of sending lads to the country, there to learn and fol lip w a country life, insead of stopping in the city to swell 'the ranka of unskilled or part ially skilled labor in the topns.
The League expected some^difficulty, owing to the unwillingness of farmers to be bothered with raw lads, but this difficulty is in process of being surmounted. Another, and quite unexpected, difficulty has now arisen (saya the ' ' Sdyney Morning Herald" ) inasmuch as the League has the vacancies, but not the lads to fill them.
