Valley City plan to double county population by colonization
Valley City Commercial club considers a colonization scheme by C J Lee to fill Barnes county homes with eastern families. The plan offers 2 3 acres and discounted land payments to tenants who work and would boost dairying and cultivation with cheap labor, aiming to double the population in two years. It cites a farmer’s letter of dozens of responses to a husband wife job ad as proof of demand.
