WORK AND FARMS FOR
 RETURNED SOLDIERS
(Franklin K. Lane in Scientific
 AmericaD)

The historian, who, in the years to come, writes the economic history or the United States will unquestionably find @ mile stone in the Sundry Civil Act for the fiscal year ending June 90, 1919, and especially that portion which provides for an appropriation of $100,- 900 for an investigation to be made of | the reclamation by drainage of lands outside existing reclamation propects l and of the reclamation and prepara- l tiOn for cultivation of cut over timber i lands in any of the states of the | United States and an additional S100,- | GOO for an investigation of new irriga- ] tion projects.
 These sums, small as they are mark | the beginning of a vast scheme of reclamation of our unused lands, | which, if carried to it's ultimate and l logical conclusion, will mean the addi- l tion of some 200 million to 250 million | acres to the real territory of the coun- l try, provide work for hundreds of | thousands of American citizens. and af- ford an opportunity for additional i hundreds of thousands to acquire ] homes.
 The plan affords an opportunity for every returned fighting man to secure work, if he wants it. And it doesn't
 mean that he will have to go far from | his home state to find work.' Practi-
 cally every state in the Union contains
 large areas of irrigable, cut over, O. i swamp land or other unused lands that 1 will be a part of the great scheme of reclamation. The man from the west ern states will find an opportunity to work on the construction of an irriga- | ton project; the man from the eastern l half of the United States will be placed on work involving the drainage of
 swamp land or the clearing of cut over land; and each will find such a project
 awaiting him within a few hundred miles of his own former home.
 But the plan goes further In addl-
 tion to providing work, it affords an opportunity for the returned soldiers 10
 acquire a home of his own on the re-
 claimed land. Besides building the
 dams, canals, and irrigation ditches,
 clearing and leveling the land, con
 structing drainage ditches, erecting | houses, barns and fences, he will be | given a preference right of entry on
 these same lands, which he has made | ready for the blow, with the privilege 'of paying for the home which he has
 made in long time payments If thirty
 or forty years at a low rate of interest l Necessary live stock and farm imple-
 ments will also be provided by the
 government to be paid for in small pay
 ments, extending over five to ten
 years. The element of charity or boun 1 ty does not enter at all. It is a straight
 business proposition.
 Group settlements, containing mum
 erous townsites, surrounded by small
 forty or eighty acre farms. will be a
 feature of the plan, so that the objec-
 tion to the isolation of country life
 will be largely obviated
