mjnistration five years ago there were
700, 900, 600 acres of land under public
ownership. The 640-Acre Homestead
Bill, as it is called, hoped to provide
capital for farm improvements and TO
create a standard form of investment
based upon farm mortgage, This land
is scattered through the United States
and Alaska. Some of it is good agri-
cultural land, some grazing land, and
some OF it mountainous. Tenantry is
increasing at an alarming rate and
tenantry breeds unrest. This vast
domain was lying idle. why not put 1t
to work? I introduced House Bill
407. known as the 640-acre raising
homestead bill, providing that each
and every family which had hitherto
not exhausted its homestead right
could go upon $40 acres of the public
land. which must be by the Interior
Department designated grazing land,
erect a house, build a fence. set out
trees, cultivate such portions as their
means would permit and there by
convert the deserts and semi-arid
places of the West into homes for the
homeless. That bill is now law and
we have had 10000 applications. If
the law succeeds in making only
this 10000 tenant families into home
owners the committee will feel proud
of its work"
Land In Plenty.
This seems to make 1t quite plain
| that there is plenty of land to &c
round for quite while and 1t may
partly answer Question No. 4, but the
lure OF war wages seems to offset any
rush to the farms. The pressure or
\ the cities is well shown in a state
ment by A. C. Miller Of the Fedora

emy of Political and Social Science
who said: war work needs $4,000,
4 600 men and in this crisis, everything
must be circumscribed to war work.
