Alluvial Land Association in Session 



.More ili'liiiito iind more tangililc plans for the development and 

 colonization, as well as the marketing and distribution, of the 

 millions of acres of cut-over alluvial lands belonging to members 

 of the Southern Alluvial Land Association will follow the semi- 

 annual of this organization held here July 12. 



These involve two separate and distinct phases: The pooling 

 of the lands belonging to members of the association and community 

 development on a much larger scale than has been so far attempted. 

 The work of the association thus far has been largely preliminary. 

 It is preparing now to get down to a very jiraetical basis in attack- 

 ing the problem of preparing these lands for the market and insur- 

 ing their settlement by men of the right sort. 



The keynote of the meeting was the address of William S. 

 Mitchell, former treasurer of the Federal Land Bank, St. Lo«ii, who 

 told of the vast farm land credit.s that are available to members 

 of the association and to all other land owners and of the proeedure 

 necessary to secure loans on farm projierties. He urged that owners 

 of these lands take advantage of the machinery which is alrcadj 

 in motion in connection with farm land credits because of the low 

 rate of interest thereon and because of the long period of amortiza- 

 tion, 34Vi years. He pointed out that there are chartered organi- 

 zations in every county in Arkansas working directly under the 

 Federal Land Bank at St. Louis and that, under date of May 31, 

 there were more than 1,500 separate loans, involving considerably 

 more than $2,250,000 in that one state. He also told of the number 

 and extent of loans in Missouri and Illinois which belong to the 

 territory of the Federal Farm Bank at St. Louis. 



Mr. Mitchell made it perfectly char, however, that, in order to 

 attract the proper class of settlers, it would be necessary for the 

 members to pool their holdings and undertake community develop- 

 ment on a large scale. He asserted that it was not within the 

 bounds of reason to ask farmers in tlic North and West to bring 

 their families from their comfort:ilde liomes and splendid com- 

 nuinities into a wilderness such as that in which these alluvial lands 

 are located. 



He also urged that owners of cut-o\ .r alluvial lands divide their 



Iiropertiea into tracts of 40 to 80 acres, part of which is in cultiva- 

 tion, so that the settlers may be self supporting while they aru 

 clearing the reniaiiider for use. He pointed out that this would 

 make these lands far more attractive from an investment stand- 

 point and that it would also facilitate those who are willing, to 

 make their homes thereon. 



Following the address of Mr. Mitchell, the association decided 

 upon the appointment of a committee of five to investigate the plans 

 outlined by the speaker or any other plans that might appeal to 

 them. This committee is to report back to the association, with 

 recommendations, on the completion of its activities and is com- 

 j^Bod of the following: A. C. Lange, Chicago Mill & Lumber Com- 

 pany, Blytheville, Ark., chairman; W. C. Bonner, J. H. Bonner &, 

 Sons, Heth, Ark.; Rudolph Sondheimer, E. Sondheimer Company, 

 Memphis; R. L. .hirden, Penrod, Jurdcn & McCowen, Inc., Memphis, 

 and Max Miller, Marianna, Ark. 



In connection with the work of this committee, Mr. Mitchell sug- 

 gested that an investigation be made to determine conclusively the 

 relative richness of these alluvial properties as compared with older 

 lands in Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois, which are commanding far 

 higher. prices. He declared that the former are the richest in the 

 world, and that they would produce a groat deal more per acre than 

 the latter even after thereSiad been liberal applications of fertilizer 

 on these at the high cost involved in this process. He believed 

 statistics could be compiled that would make this perfectly clear 

 to the prospective buyer and greatly increase the sale of these 

 holdings. 



In addition to taking action looking to the development of plans 

 for the clearing and settlement of these lands, the association 

 adopted resolutions, the gist of which is given herewith: 



That the association pledge Its hearty support to the federal govern- 

 ment In all efforts to restore to civil life after the war returned soldiers 

 and sailors and tlui.o' engaged in war Industries, and that It lend Its 

 assistance In flndiiis homes for these men as well as for all others desir- 

 ing to settle on th.'.^c unusued properties. 



That government aid should lie the future policy of the nation and the 

 several states so that land ownership may be vested in Us occupants, that
