A Great Land Opening

Washington, D c., March IL, 1908.
Special to The Banners"
A number of exceptional opportunities
will be offered this spring by the govern
ment for enterprising and intelligent far
mers to secure choice farms on dozen
or more irrigation projects which are now
nearing completion.
Owing to the rapid narrowing of the
limits Of the unocoupied public domain, il
is doubtful if these opportunities will ever
occur again. 1t is probable, therefore,
that the West will see one of the greatest
influxes Of homeseekers in 1908 that has
been witnessed in many years.
The great fertility and wonderful crop
yields from irrigated lands and the favor
able terms the government offers settlers
warrant the belief that before the yeaf
closes not single farm will be without
its entryman. These farms are located
in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and
Nevada
A letter addressed to The Statistician,
u. S. Reclamation Service. Washington,
D. c., will secure full information con-
corning the location, soil, climate, crop
possibilities and terms Of disposal.

years ago: Teach the woman that the

upon them instead of upon drugs, the
better it will be for all parties"
