Our Unoccupied L.mnds.

On our fourth page today we print in full
Commissioner Valentines latest statement
about unoccupied lands in Vermont, with
additional facts given 10y him in the form of
a personal interview. In these publications
Mr. Valentine gives definite facts and de
tails about these lands, including location,
quantities, and the names of responsible
men of whom further information may be
obtained 1t will be of especial interest to
our readers TO note that very considerable
part of this information relates to lands in
Windham county, some of them only few
miles from Brattleboro. We think 1t is
true that the commissioners statements in
this respect correspond very closely with
information already possessed by our local
residents whose business or observation has
led them to take note Of the condition of
affairs.
1t is true that objection has been made TO
this plain statement about abandoned or I'M
occupied lands in Vermont, as likely To be
injurious TO our interests but the objection
seems to us to be not well taken 1t is
fact that such lands exist in the state in
abundance, as they do in all the other New
England states and in New York large
portion of them are not desirable for cult
walton, and their best use is TO leave them
alone To grow up to woodland; but there is
another large portion capable Of being con e
verted into fertile fields and dotted with
comfortable homes, and the best thing that
ever happened to the state was when this
fact began TO be advertised abroad in this
way and attention began to be attracted to
the states possibilities. The good, more
over, is a twofold one. The tendency is not
only to call in people from outside, but to
convince our own people that the state is
worth living in.
On our own part we hope that all posi-
BILE encouragement will he given Mr. Nalen-
tine and Mr.. Nordgren to bring the Swedish
colony 20 Windham county The expert
sncs, both Of our farmers and our villagers,
with the Swedes who have found their way
here has been satisfactory in all respects.
Mr.. Nordgren guarantees that the immi-
grants shall he If good character, and that
loans made 70 them, such as will be neces-
SAry TO give them start in their new life,
shall be repaid in due time
The establishment of "A colony of fifty
families of this sort within our borders
would mean an addition of Just so much "a

we're wanted The proposition made by
Windham county people Mr.. Valentine
states as follows:
They offer first to furnish all the land We
want, suitable FOR our purposes. at from - o. y
an acre. the immigrants 20 pay the taxes and
Interest money ON the purchase price the first
year, after the first year they are to pay SiO0 an-

agree o. furnish one COW fer eacn family and In
some cases 10 furnish all the cows the farm will
support teams enough 10 do the work OF the
4 colony and II needed 10 loan each family 81 to
/ help In the purchas. " kitchen and other furni.
. turr. and seeds these being held by the Swedes
ON the same conditions as the farms
This promise VI assistance comes direct from
the owners of the farms, who are responsible men,
and who have agreed 10 the conditions " sale, as.
[ sistanca. etc They arr men 81 means In most
/ eases who have acquired these farms by purchase
| or inheritance, or in some other way. They are
/ anxious to secure the Swe,des settlers, and have
/ helped in every way possible in this work
substantially the same proposition is made
/ by the farm owners in and about Weston.
The Wilmington farms are located Gin the
northeastern and eastern part Of the town,
almost ON line with Marlboro. They are
in a fair condition Of cultivation and have
buildings in fair state Of repairs
The Swedish families will number about
| five persons each or about l25 in all. They
will take up about 100 acres TO family,
thus disposing of about 300 acres of unoc-
cupied lands to start with "As much more
land is offered than can be taken at this
time, the owners agree to give the new
corners choice Of selection within certain
limits, so the particular farms are not yet
selected
| Mr. Valentine expects to see the Swedish
settlers here about May LIST, 1890.
| The Free Press refers editorially to the
good work already done under our new law
/ in calling attention 10 Nermont's adyan-
tages for those who desire good homes at a
small price Every mail brings letters to
the commissioner from native Nermonters
| living in other states, and from other New
| Englanders abroad, who wish TO get back
to New England, and who ask earnestly as
to the conditions by which they can do so,
and about the location and surroundings Of
the cheap farms of Vermont.
The Free Press makes the excellent sug-
| gestion that especial means be taken to con
vey to old New Englanders who may wish
to come back to the East some such induce.
ments as are offered to the Swedes New
| England desires first Of all the return Of
her own children. 1t is because they have
turned their backs upon the old farms that
the doors are opening to the children of an
other country. Meanwhile better days for
the Green Mountain state are at hand "
We hope and believe so.
