Mr.. Lyons had completed plans for
the farming Of more than 1900
acres OF leased state lands, adjacent
TO his patented lands on the ella.
An interesting feature Of the data

office In connection with the leased
land planting campaign is In con-
nection with new land adjacent to
state land which is being farmed
this year. The total Of such lands
listed up to date, chiefly patented

is around 10000 acres. A large
number Of these holders hold leases
Of grazing lands. They have all
the acreage they can handle on their
own lands and will continue to use
the state land for pasturage.
