Aug. l, 1909. The great
agricultural development now
going on in the West is attract
ing widespread attention, and
every Gland opening" calls out
thousands of letters Of inquiry
concerning the opportunity for
settlers. just now unusual
interest centers in the Truckee
Carson irrigation project in
Nevada, where a thousand
farms offered to homeseekers
by the Government open allur-
ing possibilities.
These lands are free to every
bona fide homeseeker, the only
expense, with the exception of
the nominal filing fee, being
the pro rata share Of the cost
of building the irrigation sys-
tenn. This charge amounts to
$50 per acre, payable in ten
annual instalments, without
interest. There is no drawing
or any element Of chance in
applying for one of these farms
It's only necessary to make a
homestead entry at the land
office at Carson City or at the
office of the Land Commission
er at Fallon, Nevada.
Nature has endowed few re-
gions more literally with all
the elements necessary to build
up great commonwealth than
are found in this section. The
fertile fields grow alfalfa, cere-
ais, fruits, vegetables, in fact
practically all the products of
the temperate zone; the climate
is dry and delightful, and the
valley is singularly free from
severe storms. The sun shines
almost every day in the year.

prices for everything that can
be raised, and splendid trans
portation facilities connect the
