Legion will be unable to come Il,
maine for the State convention
or the Department of Maine.
out he has decided to make
'he trip with The American Legion
representatives to France as the
guests of the French government
and that will oblige him to cancel
many OF his engagements in order
10 place his Legion business in such
shape that he will feel like giving
the time to the trip. We feel very
sorry that We cannot have him with
US for the Waterville convention.
but we are also much pleased that
ne is able to again visit France. this
time under somewhat different cir
cumstances than his last trip over
there. We hope to have him with
us at some later date
He will be represented at the
Department of Maine convention by
National Vice Commander Thomas
j. Bannigan of Hartford, Conn, an
other fine man, an enthusiastic Le-
sionaire and one whom the boys
will be delighted to meet"
Asked if he would have a copy of
his report as department command
er for the press. Col Greenlaw said:
We'll, l shall be lucky if ] get
my report ready for the convention.
to say nothing of having it ready
beforehand. I'm afraid you'll have
to get it at the convention"
The Colonel said that he had va
rious matters in his mind for presen-
tation to the convention. including
the Soldiers Bonus bill, the West
ern farms proposition, and others
Regarding the latter proposition he
said:
Il have just received word from
the Department of the Interior at
Washington, ID. c., that on Septem-
Der 0 next. Odd farms will be op-
ened to homestead entry by soldiers
of the World War. on the North
Platte irrigation project in Wyoming
and one week later, on September
16 next, 81 farms will he thrown
open on the Shoshone project in the
same state. About 10000 acres of
land are included in the two open
ings. For 60 days no one but SOL
diers of the World War will be per
mitted to make filings on these
farms.
These North Platte lands were
but a decade ago a vast range oc-
cupied by nomadic herds of cattle.
but national reclamation has
wrought a marvellous change in the
section. Hundreds of prosperous
about 100000 acres are producing
valuable crops of alfalfa. sugar
beets, corn and potatoes. Towns
have been established. railroads
have extended branches to Connect
the valley with the great markets,
dairying has become a profitable in
dustry and over S4, 500, 900 worth OF
crops were produced in 1920 on the
project
The Shoshone land lies in a
valley of great scenic beauty and
has a splendid climate and fertile
soil. It has grown into thickly
peopled and highly productive ag-
ricultural section. 1t is a fine dairy
country and has q creamery and al
falfa meal mill, but is devoted most
ly to general farming Crops val
ued at over $l.00O.0O0 were pro-
duced in 1920 on about 5000 acres,
Il feel sure that some of our
Maine boys will want to know more
about these opportunities, therefore
7 will bring it up before the conven-
ton in due time"
