New England summers praise Town agriculture movement

Nathan B. Chase of Magnolia argues for western farming in the New England era. He cites leaving Water town Massachusetts for Northwestern Town, building shelter, raising cattle, sheep, hogs, and crops, claiming higher yields, lower costs, and better markets. He notes stockraising costs are low, land at 3.50 an acre, potential sell at 20, and outlines travel distances and family success in the West.
