With Our State
Contemporaries


The conference called by the state
department Of agriculture to consid-
err the land problem attacked a ques-
tion that means much to the future
growth and prosperity Of the state.
It is said that there are about g.
000,000 acres Of unoccupied Michi-
gan land suitable for settlement. A
very considerable part Of it is in the
$4,000, 000-acre area of cutover land
in the upper peninsula and the
northern part of the lower peninsu-
la, where every sort Of land from
good to worthless is to be found.
Unfortunately for the state, mis-
guided settlers have been trying for
years to establish themselves on
land which could not be profitably
handled and one of the results of
their ventures is large part of the
100000 acres upon which arrears
of taxes are now due.
Many CT these unfortunate farm
ers were drawn into their bad bar
gains by real estate dealers-or,
rather, land sharks who unloaded
their worthless holdings upon igno-
rant men and left them TO gtarve
upon farms that are fit fer nothing,
except poss bly, reforestation. Oper-
atoms Of tlat sort have been suf-
ficiently extensive to give Michigan
bad name and to stand in the way
of finding buyers for the good land
that is to be had in many OF the
thinly populated counties.
The problem confronted by the
conference in Lansing is how to
checkmate the landsharks, guide de-
sirable settlers to good land proper
ly situated, and keep them off land
where they can never hope to make
a success.
Two years ago, the Michigan
Academy of Science took up these
questions and made a series of rec
concentrations as to what ought TO
be done. Underlying the whole plan
was the need for a survey and clas-
sification of all land available for
settlement so that every tract could
be graded into farm land, grazing
land, forest land or worthless land
as the case might be. In addition
the academy recommended that
every area should be considered in
its relations to markets, the state of
Development of the surrounding
territory and other matters which
would give the intending settler a
good idea of the conditions he would
face in any part of the state where
cheap land is available.
Some effort has been made in this
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1922-12-07

direction though no comprehensive
scheme has ever been carried out.
The conference at Lansing has APP
proved a similar plan under which
owners Of unsettled tracts will be
invited To have their lands inspect
ed and classified by experts in the
employ of the state, who would is
sue certificates showing the char
acter of the soil. The owner would
pay for this work and agree to keep
unsuitable land out Of the market.
His advantage would arise from the
possession of certificate which
would remove the suspicion now at
taching to Michigan wild land in
general. 1t would help him to sell
his land to purchasers at a distance.
At the same time it is proposed that
the legislature shall make these GER
tificates official and shall prohibit
the sale of uncertified land except
TO purchasers who have seen the
property.
This plan has attractive features
and will be worthy of thorough con-
sideration. If the legislature should
not see fit to approve it then some
better scheme should be evolved for
it is high time the whole problem
was taken up and solved. II may be
said that the real farm problem is
not to find more land, but to make
what is already developed profitable
and while there is truth in that view
the present troubles of the farmer
are temporary. On the other hand
the state is growing, and the de-
mand for more land to take care of
city markets will inevitably arise.
Michigan should thke steps not only
to stop present evils but to provide
for future growth.-Detroit Free
