FARMS FOR Ex-sERvICE MEN

On September 9th, 222 farms will
be opened to homestead entry by
soldiers of the World War, on the
North Platte Irrigation Project, Wy
oming, and one week later. Septem-
Der 10th, 81 farms will be thrown
open under the Shoshone Project in
the same state About 10000 acres
of land are included in the two open
ings. For sixty days no one but
soldiers of the World War will be
permitted to make filings on these
farms.
North Platte Project Lands
A decade ago the lands now in
cluded in the North Platte Project
were vast range occupied by no.
madic herds of cattle, but National
reclamation has wrought a marvellous
change in that section. The land
scape is now dotted with hundreds of
prosperous farm homes, and a hum
bred thousand acres are producing
valuable crops of alfalfa, sugar beets,
corn and potatoes. Numerous towns
have been established and railroads
have extended their branches to con-
meet the valley with the country's
great markets Dairying has become
profitable industry. More than S4,-
100000 worth of crops were produced
on the project in 1920.
Shosh0ne Project Lands
The Shoshone project, in the north
western part of the state, lies in a
region of great scenic beauty, and
has delightful and healthful climate
and fertile soil. Like the North
Platte project it has transformed the
desert into thickw populated and
highly productive agricultural section.
1t is fine dairy country, has cream
cry and alfalfa meal mill. 1t is de-
voted to general farming.
Crops to. the Value OF over $1,000. 900
were Produced in 1920 on
About $4,000 Acres
Soldiers who are interested in the
land are invited to investigate the
opportunities offered by. these open
ings. Detailed information concern
ing the farms and the method of OBJ
tanning them may be secured by writ
ing to the Project Manager, U. S. R.
