The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1909-03-18

By an order Of the inferior De-
partment about 100000 acres of
land in the counties along the eastern
border of Wyoming are to be thrown
open at once TO homesteaders, who
will be allowed to take either 100
or 800 acres. The land can not be ir-
rigated and will be. OF use, therefore,
for dry farming only. Those who take
the full 800 acres entries must make
an attempt to cultivate the land, while
those who go in on the smaller hold
ings will not be compelled by the law
to do so. The throwing open of thi.
land is somewhat in the nature of an
experiment to see what can be done
with such land
