Plan for Rich Colony IN Wisconsin.

Plan for Rich Colony IN Wisconsin.
A land deal which ultimately will
result In increasing the population of
Wisconsin many thousands, was eon4
snmmated in Stevens Point a few
days ago when a tract of 10000 acres
in Marathon county was sold to a coli
ony of Poles. About 500 families will
settle there early in the spring and
soon 5000 more families will come.
This big sale of northern Wisconsin
land is merely the beginning of a big
plan by Polish farmers in Ohio, Penn
sylvania and New York, who have
realized that northern Wisconsin is
rich in agricultural possibilities.
About ten miles from Stevens Point.
in Polonia, the Polish farmers have
erected one of the largest rural
churches In this country.
THE purchase of that tract OF land
in northern Wisconsin, is scheme
evolved by Polish farmers in the east
who are looking for better lands, said
John p. Hume of the Wisconsin Adj
vancement association. There are
about 100000 acres of undeveloped
land In the immediate neighborhood
and as understand 1t. most of that
land will be settled by a desirable
class of people. One thing which is
most noteworthy is their thriftlness
and therefore they will be an acquisi-
ton to the state.
But the most significant thing Of
all is that II means the development
of the northern part of the state It
will mean new towns, and It viii
open a new market for Milwaukee
merchants. And not only that. II is
going to add TO the wealth of the
state. With land in It's productive
stage worth on an average of 500 an
acre, It win mean at least 100000. 600
