Rotterdam. Another group of Bel
gian farmers who had taken refuge in
Holland when the German troops In
vaded their country have departed on
their way to tho southern States of
the United States to take new homes
there. The men, who were accompan
ied by their wives and generally by
numerous children, were all selected
on account of their ability as cultiva
tor by William H. Manss of Baltimore,
tho special representative of the South;
ern Settlement and Development
Organization.
On their arrival at their destination
it is intended that the Belgian farmers
shall settle in small colonies, consist
ing of from 10 to 100 families in any
one of the Southern Stte3 they may
solect as most suited to them both on
acocunt of the climate and of tho na
ture of the land. It has been arranged
that they shall be placed in possesion
of small parcels of land ranging from
10 acres in the case of a truck farm to
40 acres in the case of a general farm,
and shall be provided with farm ani
mals and Implements and a house, for
all of which they are to pay out of
their profits after the first year of oc
cupation for a period of 20 years.
Care for the welfare of these agri
cultural immigrants, of whom the
South stands so much In need, Is to
ba taken by the organization under
whose auspices they are sent to Amer
ica. Churches and schools of their own
religious faifh are to be provided and
tho organization has agreed to settle
thorn on land near railroads and cities
with marketing facilities. The land is
to be thoroughly tested by offcials of
the Agricultural College and each
farmer settled has to agree to cultivate
the land of his selection for a period of
at least five years, tho time necessary
for him to acquire citizenship.
The scheme of Southern settlement
has been taken into consideration also
by tho authorities and emigration so
cieties of Holland and the latter Intend
thi3 year to send special delegates to
America to Investigate so that Dutch
farmers who may later emigrate may
be given proper advice as to their pros
pects of success In their new homes.
