want. And there are several pine

pursue a different policy. The
owners of these wild lands would
find it to their profit to give free
deed of one fourth or one halt Of
their land to any respectable, III

up and cultivate it. Halt a dozen
farms in each township would add
SO per cent to values of land therein,
] Now SO out of the 40 townships in
the county are entirely unoccupied.
