"A BIG FARMING SCHEME

Attention has frequently been call
ed to the splendid opportunities offer
ed in the counties of Southern Mary
land to capitalistic farmers from 9TH
er states or from Europe, says the
"Baltimore American"
Lands in that section that can be
restored to high state OF produc-
tiveness may be bought at figures
which constitute them great bar
gains. Many farmers from the West
and Northwest and some from across
the ocean have purchased farms in
parts of Marylrnd and these prospec.
tors have, with hardly an exception,
been prosperous. Southern Mary
land can be made and should be
made a great garden area. The sec
ton is in need of better railroad ia
cilities, but these Will surely be sup
piled.
It is given out that farming COL
onization scheme of considerable
magnitude is now being promoted by
interests connected with the Penn
sylvania Railroad. A tract Of TO-
600 acres, according to the reports,
will be cut up Into small farms, upon
which will be located trained and en-
ergetic farmers. This will mean the
introduction of from 100 to 200 fam
lilies into the counties in which the
lands to be settled are located. II
this colonization scheme is successful
