Any. one of these men will leave important business to show you his farm or home, and explain his efforts at growing fruits and vegetables adapted to the climate. We account for this in-two ways: First, as far seeing men they see the necessity of developing the Home- croft idea for the purpose of secur- ing an abundant supply of food for the coming population, which has now reached about 78,000. We were interested to know something of the early history of these men, and not at all surprised to find that nearly all o ftaem were originally farmers. They have grown rich in various ways, but seem not to have yost their love for the farm, to the training of which - in industry and economy they owe more than perhaps anything else in the world. We were glad to see this recognized in a practical way; and glad to see a bunch of these men putting down their money in clear- ing up these lands and putting them in such shape that a man can make is living on them under favorable circumstances, -and under conditions where he can have roads and schools and churches. We were glad to hear. them talk about clearing up these pine lands not as business for the lone farmer, but as a big problem which big men should tackle. We heard them talk about the unwisdom of allowing settlers to scatter through the woods away from woods, exposed to fires which occasionally sweep over tim- ber country. We heard them talk of opening up a township, two town- ships or a county, limiting the farms to eighty acres, clearing up ten of them, building a house, breaking up the land, and then selling it, of course, charging the cost of clear- ing to the land. As a matter of fact, the cost of clearing up land is not more than half as much, and often not that, to the people who can ‘do it in a big way, as it would be to the individual farmer himself. By limit- ing the acreage—and eighty acres is enough for any man in that coun- try—they condense population and develop -communities, enabling them to build churches and schools and have a society that in time will be almost “ideal. We do not know that this problem has been tackled in any big way as yet; but the more we think of it the more it appeals to us. Isolation in the woods far from neighbors, with bad roads or no roads at all, is not ‘We have as moment- the moral n of callous from in the state short cut head of a it out.
