aOO. 900 WANT FARMS.

The current issue Of Farm
Loans and City Bonds, q real
estate journal published in Chica-
90, is authority for the statement I
that there are in the CITY OF
Chicago 100000 Polish-Americans
eager to take up agriculture IN
the South.
These SOC, 600 Polish.Americans
are seeking to join the back to
the iarm'' movement. Their eyes
are turned southwark, where land
is cheap, living expenses low and
farming conditions ideal. BY ma
ture, the Poles are farmers
among the best in the world.
They, naturally, want to get back
to the farm, even after coming
to this country, but, somehow
they get huddled together IN
Chicago and it's a pretty big
problem to find farming lands for
all OF them landing there.
AT Hodge, La, q colony has
been settled. The colony con-
sists Of twenty-five families, gen
orally about twenty-five acres to
the family. These colonies are
not completely successful unless
twenty-five families go together
Some, Of course, went to 90 back
TO the cities, and unless {
sufficient number remain th'
others become dissatisfied. These
people are very shy and diftiden
among Americans and will no
stay on the farms unless they cal
have their own social and re
lieious life. Hence the importanc
Of getting a sufficient number t
colonize to make them satisfied.
It occurs to US that with tn
proper effort put forth some thre
or four colonies Of these Polish
Americans could be located il
Weakley county. Certainly Their
is sufficient land here-land tha
is cheap and needs to be cult
waited; some Of it worn badly, bu
capabable of being made pre-
ductive, and these Polish-Amer
cans are the reoI le to do it. Their
there are the gigantic drainap
schemes, which, il successful ian
they will BEL in reclaimin
thousands OF acres Of the cour
tvs. finest farming lands, Il
opportunity presents itself to i
cate a colony or SO Of the Poles Q
this land.
There are plenty Of locations f
colonies if one sufficiently int
ested would take the matter
hand; and this would be a goo
work for some Of our commerce
and business mems clubs,
