Quaker Land Purchase for Sugar Beet Colony in Colorado
The committee reports Quakers buy 5000 acres in Prowers County Colorado near the Amity canal to establish a colony with a sugar beet focus. Charles L. Seagraves of Santa Fe travels overseeing colonization efforts and will guide the scattered Friends communities into the new settlement, with plans to recruit from Indiana and nearby states. The deal uses partial cash upfront with balance as settlers arrive, aiming to attract a productive, church-aligned farming community supported by rail access via Santa Fe.
