CENTRAL HAS PLAN FOR ATTRACTING SETTLERS WOULD ADVERTISE LANDS FOR PROSPECTIVE SELLERS. An advertising plan under the pro visions of which the Central of Geor gia Railway will co-operate in secur ing desirable settlers for farm lands in Georgia and Alabama is announced by President L. A. Downs in an in teresting statement published today. Mr. Downs points out that the South's undeniable advantages of long-growing seasons, ample rainfall, mild winters, crop variety and low priced lands appeal to many farmers residing in other sections. He be lieves that the five essential require ments to attract settlers are farms capable of profitable crop production, reasonably priced, of a workable size, for sale upon favorable terms and witli modern improvements. The Central of Georgia is willing to advertise such farms in publica tions which are read by the class of home-seekers desired, and to prepare and mail pamphlets which will set forth the advantages of this section for bome-seekers, provided that the land owners, real estate agent, com mercial organizations, and others in terested, will offer for sale a total of not less than 200 farms located along the lines of the Central of Georgia Railway and within 8 miles of a Central station. It is suggested that the farms should range in size from 40 to 200 acres; should he under definite op tion, running until April 20, 1925; that there should be not less than 10 such places in each community, ami that the terms of sale should require not more than one-fifth cash as initial payment with balance in 15 or more annual installments, at a fair rate of interest. It is further suggested that suitable improvements or some definite arrangements lo finance the construction of buildings should be offered and that at least one-third to one-half of the land should Do clear ed and ready for cultivation. In announcing the readiness ol' the railroad to take the lead in advertis ing such offerings, Mr. Downs says: "The Central of Goorgia believf-s, in the light of past experience, that these requirements are not unreason able. We know that this section possesses productive land which can be bought for prices which are rela tively low when compared with those in other sections which are successful in attracting home-seek ers. We believe that the problem which must be solved is to offer these lands in such away as will give desirable settlers a re til op portunity to buy.” Those interested in taking advan tage of the Central’s offer should write to .1. F. Jackson, General Agri cultural Agent of the railroad, at Savannah, Georgia. it is believed that many communities can easily qualify with the conditions set forth, and that definite progress will fol low the railroad’s initiative.
