Absolutely Impartial.

1t is understood gentlemen, that
this bureau is to be absolutely impair
tial in the suggestion of lands for sale.
Each member of the association when
he lists his land should furnish a plat
together with a full description of
its the office of the bureau he is to be
given an opportunity to look over all
the land listed and he alone is to de-
eide, without any influence from the
bureau, what particular land he wishes
to buy. 1t shall not be the policy of
the bureau to in any way prefer one
members land over another. All are
to be placed on the same basis and all
are to be treated alike. AS to this
feature 1 can only personally guaran-
tee that this obligation will be carried
out.
am fully aware, gentlemen, that in
outlining the proposition which l have,
| am asking you to finance an organ
ization out of which l and my. asso-
ciates expect to make a satisfactory
profit. I do not feel, however, that
am submitting an untenable or unde-
sirable proposition to you You I'M
questionably need accomplished for
you the thing which l propose to do
with the organization outlined. To &C
complish this result yourselves, would
entail much greater expense than by
cooperation as l have suggested. l
feel that we have the time, energy and
ability to make this organization a
, splendid success and We simply pro-
, pose to put our mental and physical
: assets against your money. We would
expect you of course to supervise the
expenditure of all moneys through a
: board of directors, and we are willing
to enter into bond in a sufficient sum
to guarantee you against loss.
You gentlemen have a valuable as
, set in these cut-over lands, and with
the rapid strides which are being made
, in the colonization and development
: of this section they will enhance in
) value every year. With the compile
ton of the Panama canal this develop
! ment will be greatly accelerated, and
! If successful conducted the organiza-
ton which l propose should be an i'm
portant factor in this development
!
had hoped to have more time in
which to prepare the outline of this
organization, and shall take the liberty
of supplementing this article with
more detailed plans when I formally
present it for your consideration at
the annual meeting.

ficient number of land owners.
The bureau should not attempt,

hSACht hoAabNt Va AoAa VWhCA5s
The bureau should not attempt, in
my opinion to fix the prospective buy
er in possession Of all required infor-
nation, and show him over the land
for sale. The final termination of the
deal, as to the fixing of the price
should be left in the hands of the ow-
ner of the land. When a trade is con-
summated between the owner and the
buyer, the bureau will attend to the
formalities incident to the trade. For
its services in promoting the sale |
would suggest that the bureau receive
a commission of five per cent, from
which shall be deducted the amount of
all easements that have been paid up
on the particular land sold.
Under this plan you give the bureau
every incentive to obtain for you the
highest possible price for your land
and are not placed at the disadvan-
tage usually resulting from direct deal
ing with real estate or land develop
ment agents in whose hands you would
place your lands to be sold at a mini
mum price, leaving such agents to sell
your land for whatever they may be
able to obtain for it. Nor will you, if
adopting the plan which propose, pay
more than the commission agents u.s.
ual five per cent commission.
Experimental Farms.
AS one of the plans to be worked
out by the management of the pro-
posed bureau, l suggest that a small
experimental or demonstration farm
be developed upon the land of each
owner cooperating in this movement.
For instance, let each member set
aside forty acre tract of his most
fertile land, build upon it a neat cot
tage with necessary out-houses; and
clear ten acres-thus affording the pur-
chaser the means of earning a liveli-
hood during his first year of occu-
pancy. l would suggest that this i'm
proved tract be sold at the very mini
mum price and upon terms of easy pay
ments, more care being exercised in
the selection of the buyer than In the
price obtained. 1t is intended that
each of these demonstration farms
shall be show place-an advertise
ment of the possibilities of this soil.
In order to accomplish the best re-
suits great care should be exercised in
the selection of the farmers who are to
be given the advantage of buying these
farms. They should be energetic
practical and scientific farmers who
will take hold of this land and demon
strate its utmost possibilities. An in
different or impractical farmer would
defeat the very object sought to be
obtained.

and carrying forward of the proposed
work. IS,
My recommendation Is that you,
at your annual meeting which is to be
held at an early date, take the neces-
sary preliminary steps toward perfect
ing an organization, and that you agree
upon an assessment of so much per
acre to be levied upon such lands as
the Individual members of the associa-
ton may declare for assessment. This
assessment to be levied annually, and
for assessment. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the bureau will undertake
to sell for each member an amount of
land equal only to the amount upon
which the assessment is paid by that
person or company. l think that a
minimum should be fixed upon the
amount of land to be listed by the
members, and no member allowed to
list less than 1000 acres.
If the bureau could get 100000 acres
listed at an assessment of five cents
per acre it would have sum of $12,-
500 available with which to lay the
foundation for the proposed organiza-
ton, and carry on the work in an eff
fective manner for at least one year.
The scope and effectiveness of the
work need be limited only by the
amount of land listed for assessment
OF course, a great deal more could be
accomplished with $4,000 than can be
accomplished with $12,50O, but l would
suggest that we proceed cautiously fol
the first year.
Executive Board To Control.
I recommend that the organization
elect an executive board of five or sew
en- members to have entire supervision
over the work and the expenditure o.
the money subscribed. By this ar
rangement the control of the organiza
ton would remain absolutely in you
hands, where it properly belongs.
is my idea that an energetic, compe
tent, and reliable man be placed a
the head of the publicity department
and that he devote his entire time t,
the preparation and distribution o
printed matter, the writing of article
for daily, weekly and agricultural pull
locations; the gathering of exhibits
and making of photographs; to super
intend the gathering and placing prof.
er exhibits at state and county fairs
and to attend to the correspondent
which may arise from the presentatio
of the manifold advantages of thi
section to desirable home-seekers. T
do this work will entail considerabl
expense, but I think it can be ampl
covered by the assessment propose
