TO INSPECT CUT OVER LANDS.
Engineers to See if They Can Be
Used for Soldier Farms

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, October IL
Eleven million acres of logged off"
timber land on the Pacific coast might
be reclaimed and used for agricultural
purposes, according to the statement
OF Walter H. Graves, whose appoint
ment by Secretary Lane as an en-
elneer of the reclamation service was
recently announced. Mr.. Graves has
oeen instructed to make a study of
the large districts of cut-over timber
land in the west for the purpose of
determining its availability, when
cleared. for farms for soldiers after
the war. The land denuded of timber
would have to be cleared of the en-
cumoering logs. stumps and brush.
The redemption of this vast wilder
ness. 1t is estimated. would add 81
O0o.000.O00 to the farm wealth of the
Pacific states. The cost of clearing
the land would be less than the value
OF the land if improved mechanical de-
vices were used, Mr.. Graves said.
