Soldiers Help Develop.

IN brief the proposition is that the
/ government shall take over some of
these tracts which would seem most
likely 10 attract the soldiers and de-
velop them. In the development work
preference would be given to soldiers
who wished to be employed. In this
way II was thought that they would
not only familarize themselves with the
proper plan Of cultivation in that par
ticular region but also acquire some
capital with which to make a start II
is expected that the government would
not only reclaim or drain the land as
might be necessary. but also put it in
condition for cultivation and assist the
soldier in making the irnproren ent
thereon which would be necessary for
its development and cultivation. The
bill not only provides that the land
shall be sold to the soldier at cost on
long time payment. but also that the
soldier shall be entitled TO a loan of not
to exceed $1,000 for the purchase Of
livestock and equipment.
The claims made on behalf OF the
bill are that it will take land which. if
public land. costs nothing; or in other
abandoned lands, which cost the gov
eminent but little. and by organized eff
fort on a large scale make the lands
available for cultivation and give the
soldier an opportunity to obtain val
liable home
1T is not proposed to make any
donation TO the soldier or put him in
any position that will decrease his
self respect. He will. if this plan comes
up to expectations, develop by his own
exertions the property which he re-
ceives and the cost to the govern
ment in the end will be slight. Those
who are especially pushing the bill
point TO the great success that has
been made By settlers from different
parts Of the country, in many in
stances people who had never before
engaged in farming and whose capital
was very limited, who have settled on
the irrigated tracts in the west. TAX
On come of the cut over lands of the
north, or lands redeemed by drainage
in the south. The soldier will of course
realize that all this means hard wark.
but if carried out to the end 1t also
means independence and a competence.
ut would seem from the number OF
inquiries which have been received by
the interior department and by con-
gressmen that a large number of the
discharged soldiers are interested in
the plan"

Of land. At the present time there is
little land that the soldier can take
under the homestead acts which would

cultivation. The most promising areas
are those which require much work
and more or less capital to develop.
For this reason the Mondell bill pro-
poses to develop tracts OF land which
need at present either clearing. drain
age, or irrigation in order to be cul-
tivated. No such tracts are found in
Iowa unless it be some small areas not
completely drained, lut they are to be
found in more than half the states. In
the southern and south central states
there are great tracts which would
