Chance for Dermott

This Office is in receipt of a copy OF
the South Bend (lnd.) Tribune of July
18th. which was sent us by }. A.
Swygart. who formerly lived here and
still owns considerable land in this sec
ton Special attention was called to
an article headed 200, 600 Ready to ge
to Farms, from which the paragraphs
below are copied. This is a chance for
Dermott to get just what IL most
needed-and that is colonies of indus
trious farmers to cultivate the fertile
lands in this section. Our Board of
Trade. in connection with Il good hive
real estate agency ought to get busy
on the proposition.
The following paragraphs are from
a statement made by Prof. II. M.
Cottrell, Agricultural Commissioner of
the Rock Island railroad, at Il confer
ence of farmers and bankers:
There are approximately Il, 200, 600
people born in foreign nations now
living in the United States, more than
1000, 900 of whom live right here IN
Chicago. About s. per cent OF the
Polish born populationln III this country
was born and reared ON farms, and
most of them want to get back INTO
hat work.
There are millions of acres Of IN
occupied lands in Arkansas and
Louisiana now being cleared of timber
by the big lumber companies. This
land is cheap and can be cleared and
put under cultivation by foreign born
men more easily than by Americans.
I'VE have been studying this question
for several years and find that as a
rule the man or the family coming dlz
rectly from Europe to an American
farm will not be satisfied. Conditions.
methods and social relations are too
radically different. What we want are
families that have been in the United
States from five TO II years. by that
time the children will have learned the
English language at school and the en-
tre fa,nily will have become somewhat
~acclInated to American customs. But
these meA and women need the throb-
hing, rushing life of a big city to pre-
pare them for life on an American
farm.
We have already established several
colonies in the south. At Alexandra,
La, we have a Bohemian colony of
more than 100 families. which has been
there since January. 1914. These fam
lies came from Chicago and other big
enters of population, The project has
proved completely successful Two
small villages have been organized Ii
buse and kolin. A group of several
families closely related has come from
Europe and joined this colony.
AT Hodge, La, we have a Polish
colony. This ~ a strictly rural com
munity of about 25 families ON adjoln-
ing farms. There is a small Lithuanian
colony at Dodson. La. and another at
Bigelow. Ark.
ineSe COlOHleS are uot 'ollPiSNCi9
successful unless at least Is families go
together. There will always be some
who want to come back. and If the
number is small such defections affect
the entire enterprise. These peoples
are also very ditfident and shy among
Americans and will not stay on these
farms unless they can have their "
social and religious life.
1T is our endeavor to so arrange
these colonies that the peoples OF
southern Europe will go to our southern
states while those from northern Europe
will be sent to our western and north
western states.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature prohibiting railroad COM

to keep new roads out of the State.
Doubtless there are two sides to the

believe are Sufficient to cause a true
bill, of which copies can be had.-
