a home near the plantation so that he might

by working on the sugar plantation.
The tract was divided into five acre plots.
The corporation associated with the Nc
Bryde interests erected houses for the home

AL and the European immigrant has no
other capital than his labor.
The public land department made very
easy terms to the homesteader for the pur-
chase of the land. The plantation laid in
pipes to each Ave acre tract, thus giving wa

secondary industry and give the homestead

This experiment in small homesteading

serious labor problems of the Territory.
The homesteads are cultivated largely by
