Land as an Investment not a Speculation
Excerpt from Hon. J Sterling Morton argues arable land is limited and rising value driven by population growth. He cites Homestead laws, need for educated farmers, soil analysis, and the role of forests. He warns on forest loss, urges tree planting, and describes homesteading as forming West communities then towns and cities. He notes land ownership as a safe investment and offers maps from J S Warland.
