Excerpt from Bulletin of the Pan American Union, Vol. 50 For the purpose of colonization, Peru counts mainly upon her valuable forest lands of the Montana. With the idea of making these most available to colonists and immigrants the state distributes them in three forms: (a) By purchase, at the rate of 5 soles per hectare, deeding it to the purchaser in fee simple title; by rental. Upon payment of the sum of 1 sol for the area under cultiva tion and improvement and 2 soles for the uncultivated areas; (6) by contract of colonization which requires a guaranty of 5 soles per hectare, the cultivation of ten to 100 hectares per colonist or the abrogation of the contract for the failure of the concessionaire to fulfill his part of the contract: (0) a free allotment of two hectares, rescindable in three years if the colonist does not cultivate them, unless he consents to convert the free allotment into a mortgage, paying the corresponding rate per hectare, in which case the contract continues. In short, permanent legal possession may be acquired by punctual payment of the small sum of 5 soles per hectare or about $1 per acre.
