WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—Here
arc imp questions from GIs who
jure interested in their rights to
j homesteads:
| Q. After talking it over with
my wife, wc think it would be a
| good thing to establish a homc-
jsh’uri in Alaska. 1 am a veteran
j°l World War II, and 1 want to
know if the same privileges a vet
sets on homesteading in the U. S.
apply to Alaska too? Also, is
there a lot of good farmland
j available in Alaska?
A. Generally the homesteading
j regulations are the t ame for
I Alaska as they are here. There
| is good farm land available for
i homesteading in Alaska, but
you’d better go into the thing
i very thoroughly and acquaint
j yourself with exactly what the
|conditions of life and fanning are
j there.
j Q I am planning to stake out
-■j homestead and use my veter-
ans’ preference. What I want to
j know is cun I also get u loan
i eoarantced to buy some equip-
ment lor the land loo?
A. Yes.
Q- My buddy in the Army is
bom the West and he Inis two
.sites all picked out for us to start
i home leads. I want to get all the
,'lclaiis oi the thing straightened
out before ] take ni'. wile West,
hut they tell me I have to go out
there first. ]s that true?
j A- You have to go out and in-
spect Ihe land before making ap-
.plication lor the homestead. Each
: application must be accompanied
by a sworn statement that the
iicant ha.- inspected the land
; sought, and is personally familiar
; with it,- characteristics.
Q. Can you do anything you
want, such as farming, mining,
etc., on a homestead?
A. No. The land must be class
