The first group of foreign farmers
Bishop McGolrick proposes to settle
in northern Minnesota have arrived
In America and are en- route to this
state. The history of their coming
Is interesting. A few months ago
Father August Vanden Heuval of this
diocese returned to Holland to visit
his mother, and it was largely due to
his influence that these Dutch people
have come to seek new homes. They
refused to come, however, without
their parish priest, so three Dutch
clergymen, all speaking English, made
the trip with them and will settle with
their fiocks. Speaking of his colonial
ton plan, Bishop McGolrick said:
"These Dutch all had small farms in
Holland where they engaged in dairy
work and market gardening. They
sold their farms and are prepared to
take up work here similar to that
which they did in their own country.
The land on which they will settle is
in Mile Laos county and is accessible
by three railroads. They will pay So
an acre down and the remainder at
the end of several years. The land
is valued at from $3.50 to 500 and
more. We have made arrangements
to give every family $500 worth of
lumber for house, etc, and We will
have 10 acres plowed for each family
so that he can plant this spring. Each
family may have $500 loan if re-
quired. I know the land we'll having
been over it repeatedly and the OPP
portunities for farming there are
great. These settlers are just what
we want-thrifty, hard working, eco
nomical people with some money. We
do not want any others, especially not
those who live from hand to mouth
The next we expect will be Belgians,
for the most part market gardeners
and intensive farmers We are ex-
pecting many Polish and Germans
from Winona, Milwaukee and Chica-
go, and will have no difficulty in pop
ulating the 100000 acres in two
years."
