The native sons of the ancient
and honored state of Vermont have
deserted the rocky and difficult farms
of their fathers, in such numbers that
the state has realized the necessity of
effort to fill the vacant places with
immigrants from foreign lands. While
the condition which prompts such
effort is to be regretted, it is obvious
that the state has made most judi
cious choice in the selection of
Scandinavians to colonize its deserted
lands, as it is universally conceded
that our Scandinavian immigration
has been distinctly beneficial TO the
country. The experiment of Swedish
colonization in Maine under the au-
spices of Hon. W. W. Thomas JF., has
been conspicuously successful. The
economical, hard working and indus
triJIs Scandinavian far.ae.5 ave
formed one of the most prominent and
one of the most valuable elements in
the uPbuilding of the great north
west.
