AID TO VETERANS
Bureau Seeks to Establish
Men On Farms.

Disabled war veterans of the
Pacific northwest taking agricul-
tllral training under the direction
OF the government on their own
or leased land projects will here
after be entitled to maximum of
$500 from the government for
farm equipment, according to in
formation given out by l.. c..
Jesseph of Seattle, northwest dis
trlct manager of the United States

that this provision will stimulate

on the part of veterans in line for
rehabilitation under the direc-
ton Of the veterans bureau, he
stated. Less money will be needed
by the veteran to establish him
self on farm.
There are 230 war veterans in
the Pacific northwest, training to
become capable farmers on their
own or leased land at the present
time, Mr.. Jesseph said. These
men receive $50 month or more
from the government until they
are able to handle their land pro-
iects without outside aid. A total
Of approximately 500 other voca-
tional trainees Of this district are
learning agricultural work Of var
ious kinds.
Veterans Organizations every
where are pushing the congress
sional measure known as the

Of the total value Of the farm

Not more than 81, 900 shall be ad-
vanced at one time.
