 crop rotation is systematizing his farm business. A bum-to-last, 

 sound-value,, substantial-looking fence means to the owner of the 

 land, and every man who works on it, exactly what a modern, 

 substantial factory or office building means to every man doing 

 business in the building.

GET A 



GOVERNMENT 

 FARM 



Before they are all gone 



You get from Uncle Sam either a 320- 



acre farm, FREE, or an irrigated 



farm for the mere per capita 



cost of the irrigation system 



320-acre Farms Free 



The U. S. Government is now offering over 

 three million acres of homestead lands in eastern 

 Wyoming, along the Burlington Route, under the 

 new Mondell homestead law permitting settlers 

 to take 320 acres instead of the usual 160-acre 

 homestead. These lands are ideal for dry farm- 

 ing and hundreds of farmers have made a suc- 

 cess of this method of farming in the locality 

 where these lands are located. 



Irrigated Government Lands in The 

 Big Horn Basin and Yellow- 

 stone Valley 



where rich productive lands with perpetual water 

 right may be purchased for about one-half the 

 cost of land in the central states and where the 

 water can be turned on and off the land to suit 

 the convenience of the farmer, and where you 

 are not bothered with rain during harvest; where 

 a single crop can be made to pay for the land; 

 where 50 bushels of wheat and 75 bushels of oats 

 commonly grow to the acre. 



Don't Wait Longer, 

 But Get a Home To-day 



These lands are being rapidly taken up and 

 ere long all of the Government lands will be 

 gone. Thereafter land will be possible of ac- 

 quirement only at prices phenomenally high com- 

 pared to those of to-day. 



OUR PERSONALLY CONDUCTED EX- 

 CURSIONS on the first and third Tuesday of 

 each month and cheap homeseekers' tickets on 

 those dates, allowing stop-overs in both direc- 

 tions, will give you an opportunity to examine 

 the irrigated lands and the Mondell lands on one 

 trip. 



OUR NEW FOLDERS WITH MAPS, show- 

 ing the location of all of the above-mentioned 

 lands and explaining in detail the crops raised, 

 the natural resources of each locality, and the 

 method of procedure to acquire title, will be sent 

 to you, free for the asking. Write for them to- 

 day. Free for the asking.
