Gaines Still Hai
Pioneers Seeking
Virgin Farmlands
More than a t<»\v Gaines coun
ty farmers during the past week
applied for information on land
offered for homesteading in
Montana anil Wyoming. L. H
McElroy, Gaines county agricul-
tural agent, said today.
For the benefit of this pio
neering faction he listed the fol
lowing information:
One , hundred four individual
farm units of at>out 130 acres
each have been opened for home
stead settlement on the Heart
Mountain Division of the Bu
reau of Reclamation's Shoshone
Protect in northwestern Wy
oming.
Included in the opening, the
third on this division since the
end of World War II. are 12.-
073 acres of irrigable land. The
average farm unit contains llfi
acres of irrigable land and about
11 acres of non-irrigable land
suitable for pasture and other
purposes. Veterans of World
War II are given preference of
application.
Applications for the irrigable
farms received by the superin-
tendent of the Shoshone Project
at Cody, W>o.. by 2 p. m.. July
12 will be considered simultane-
ously filed. Copies of the public
notices, application forms and
detailed information about the
opening may be secured from
the regional director's office, or
from the Shoshone Project of ]
fice.
One hundred of the 101 units
are near Ralston, Wyo.; the re
remaining four are three miles
north of Cody. The units have
never been cultivated. Canals,
laterals and other structures to
bring the irrigation water to the
farm units have been construct-
ed by the Bureau of Reclama-
tion.
Applications for the farm units
received before the close of the
simultaneous filing period and
which are complete, including
proof of veterans' preference,
will b<? entered in a public draw-
ing to establish a priority by
which veterans will be consid-
ered for the available farms.
Following the drawing, the ap-
plications will be reviewed by an
examining board composed of
local citizens and one Bureau of
Reclamation employee If the
applications aro found in order
and the applicants meet all re-
quirements, they will be allowed
to select farm units in the order
established by the drawing
Minimum requirements pro-
vide that the prospective home-
steader must have had the equiv-
alent of at least two years of
full-time farming experience af
ter reaching the age of 15, have
S3.000 in cash or useful assets,
must be of good health and
character, industrious, and be
able to meet the requirements
of the homestead and r^lama
tion laws
The Bureau of Reclamation
plans to make available to the
new homesteader form use as
farm buildngis, the approximate
"•quivalent of one barracks build
ing of the Heart Mountain Re-
location Center midway between
Cody and Powell. Wyo. As an
incident to the completion of the
project, the Bureau will assist
entrymen, in appropriate cases
and on a reimbursable basis, in
the clearing and rough leveling
of the land and in the layout of
farm ditches and irrigation struc
tures.
The soils on the Heart Moun-
tain Division are well adapted
to irrigation farming. Major
crops are expected to be beans,
peas, alfalfa, sugar beets, clover,
small grains and potatoes. Live
stock raising and fattening will
t>e another major activity on th<
new farms.
Regional Director Vernon re
ported that 50 farm units, con
taining about 5,900 acres of ir-
rigable land and about 600 acres
of non-irrigable land, are slated
for opening later this spring on
the Rivcton Project in central
Wyoming.

atmosphere when fireboats sent
up cascades of spray as miscel-

able to a Broadway ticker tape
welcome.
