Million Immigrants Yearly and The Call of Land United States
New York City reports 1 041 570 foreigners entered America in 1910 with 896 000 landing at Battery Park. Many farm workers stay in New York due to lack of land information and absence of a federal land bureau, prompting a national land show to attract immigrants to agriculture. The American Land and Irrigation exposition at Madison Square Garden will educate newcomers on farming resources, aiming to shift settlement toward rural areas and reduce urban congestion.
