[Gutenberg 26552] • Fruits of Queensland

Excerpt from Fruits of Queensland: Fruit of Mangosteen

Queensland's greatest want to-day is population: Men and women to develop our great natural resources, to go out into our country districts as farmers, dairymen, or fruit-growers - not to stick in our towns, but to become primary producers, workers, home-builders - not the scourings of big cities, the dissatisfied, the loafer, 'but the honest worker whose wish is to make a home for himself and his family. There are many such in the overcrowded cities of older countries, striving in vain to make a living - existing, it can hardly be called living, under conditions that are by no means conducive to their well-being - often poorly fed and poorly clad - who would better them selves by coming to Queensland, and by whom Queensland would be benefited.
