“The question is frequently asked,
why do these who are looking for
new homes turn t'neir faces South
ward. instead of towards tho West
and North? Why are other lands
more attractive to the colonist and
the home-seekers, If I were called
upn nto answer these queries 1 should
say that the Souta *has every In
ducement except thut the fertile
swamp and ovc-.tlow lands nre still
unprepared for forming by not being
properly drained.
“If there lands were reclaimed, fit
ted for healthful living ns they can
be by draining, they would att-act
the settler who Is looking for a new
home, and furt’ier more he will pay,
and can afford to pay, a price which
will fully renumerate those who have
Incurred the expenses of reclaiming
them. This la not the proper field for
Haunting before the public schemes
upon paper wit'a the expectation that
the settler the tenant or the colonist
Is going to do h<s work, besides pay
ing a handsome fee to the promoters
who have been kind enough to calT
his attention to thla attractive prop
osition. Fit the lands for farming
before you Invite the farmer to oc
cupy them. Have the gooJs to sell
before you seel them.”
