Back to the Land plan proposed by Marshfield firm
John P. Hume of Marshfield Wisconsin responds to Milwaukee Free Press editorials on solving wage earner displacement by promoting the Consolidated Farm Company's five and ten acre plots. The scheme clears land with steam power, builds affordable homes, and hires settlers to clear nearby lands, paying wages from 35 to 100 dollars monthly, enabling paid-for land and eventual expansion while keeping small investors hopeful.
