ment districts, which may issue bonds
and with the proceeds buy and i'm
prove the land. Settlers can buy it at
cost, plus per cent above that paid
by the district on its bonds. Only
twenty acres of logged-off, or forty
acres of arid land, can be sold to one
settler and titles cannot be assigned
until three annual payments have been
made and the purchaser has resided on
the land two years.
The scheme is entirely designed
for agricultural credit. A man with
hardly any capital may gain possess
ion of a farm that is ready for cul-
tivation.
Capital will open mineral resources,
but undeveloped farm lands must
await state aid. Though their treas
ures are scattered over a wider area,
farm lands are just as rich as mineral
lands and their wealth is infinitely
more lasting.
Every acre of unproductive land is
dead loss to the community, the
state and society. The sooner it is
put under cultivation, the sooner will
result stable prosperity.
