Homestead Act

JUNEAU - Farm development
and homesteading received a ire
mendous boost when the President
last week approved the measure to
make available financial aid for
homesteaders, B. Frank Heint2lc-
man, regional forester said.
The act. officially called Public
Law 361, is entitled ITO Enable
the Secretary of Agriculture to Elk
tend Financial Assistance to Home
stead Entrymen and for Other
Purposes"
Heintzleman said that persons
best acquainted with Alaska con-
ditions have long believed that a
law of this kind is a must" for
further farming development here.
The new act enables the Depart
ment of Agriculture to make loans
to homesteaders to assist them in
the first and hardest step in set
tlement-that is, 1t supplies funds
for erection of buildings to get the
family under cover, and for clear
ing, leveling and draining enough
land to produce a fairly large first
crop. These things, especially the
land clearing work, require sub
istantial amounts of capital and
very few homesteaders can finance
them without any help. The loans
cover periods as long as 40 years,
draw 312 per cent interest, and
are repayable in annual install
ments starting two years from the
date of the loan.
In addition to loans, the Depart
ment of Agriculture furnishes GER
tain services free to all Alaska ag
ricultural settlers. Its field mon

and the best methods of soil ero-
sion control for soil conservation

search on all sorts of problems is
