THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



A GREAT LAND OPENING- 



WASHINGTON, D. C., March 11, 1908. 

 Special to THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



A number of exceptional opportunities will be of- 

 fered this spring by the government for enterprising 

 and intelligent farmers to secure choice farms on a 

 dozen or more large irrigation projects which are now 

 nearing completion. 



Owing to the rapid narrowing of the limits of the 

 unoccupied public domain, it is doubtful if these op- 

 portunities will ever occur again. It is probable, there- 

 fore, that the West will see one of the greatest influxes 

 of homeseekers in 1908 that has been witnessed in 

 many years. 



The great fertility and wonderful crop yields from 

 irrigated lands, and the favorable terms the government 

 offers settlers, warrants the belief that before the year 

 closes not a single farm will be without its entryman. 

 These farms are located in North Dakota, Montana, 

 Wyoming and Nevada. 



A letter addressed to the Statistician, U. S. Recla- 

 mation Service, Washington, D. C., will seure full infor- 

 mation concerning the location, soil, climate, crop pos- 

 sibilities, and terms of disposal.
