CALLING FOR ARK
ANSAS FARM LAND
_ I
Arkansas needs immigra
tion of the right kind. One
good immigrant family which
is brought to the state is worth
thousands of dollars to the
community in which they lo
cate. With their capital, their
energy and their presence they
give new zest to the industrial
and social life of the neighbor
hood, casting a helpful influ
ence about them and exerting
a big force in the development
of the country. In the older
states where high price land
and over crowded conditions
have combined to limit individ
ual opportunities, there^ are
many industrious families with
plenty of means used to good
living and experienced in farm
ing and stock raising who
w ant to bring their boys and
girls, their pure bred stock and
modern equipment and make
a new start in Arkansas where
the land is low in price and
there is plenty of room to ex
pand.
Through the new Bureau of
Immigration connected with
the State Department of Mines
Manufactures and Agriculture
1 am trying to attract a desira
ble class of immigration to the
state of Arkansas and with the
information that has been sent
out I am receiving many eager
inquiries from earnest people
who are intensely interested in
our state. Some of them want
hill land for stock raising and
some want bottom lands for
cotton and corn, some want the
prairie land for rice and grain
growing and some want or- j
chard lands in our peach and j
apple belts. I am tryng to di
rect these people where each
immigrant will find what he
wants and become a satisfied
citizen of the state.
It would be neiptui m tnisi
work if the department had a)
list of the farms or farm lands
that are for sale. Then when i
inquiry was made about a par-|
ticular locality the horne.seek-j
er in the distant state could be I
put in touch with the owner of
the land. Such a list; should
give acreage, the location andj
indicate the character of the
soil and nature of the improve
ments suitability to crops and
price and terms. A tract might
be described in fifty or one
hundred words and 'detailed ;
information furnished in later j
correspondence.
This is a service that I will |
be glad to render the land
owners of Arkansas and any
farms listed will be classified
and published for distribution!
where it will do the most good.
During the month of July the
Immigration Bureau supplied
information to 2100 prospec
tive homeseekekrs. If ten per
cent of these people come to
Arkansas it will b worth more
to the state in one year than
the Bureau costs in ten years.
I want to make this kind of a
record every month and I want
every county in the state*to get
is share of these new people.
Arkansas never before looked
so good to the stranger. There
was never such a demand for
information about our state.
