ARID AND SWAMPY LAND
MADE FIT FOR SETTLERS
SEATTLE, I>ec, 2.—Washington
may some day become a miniature •'
Japan as far as intensive cultivation
is concerned, if the plans of the
Washington State Land Settlement
are carried out.
Opening of 5,500,000 ajeres of logged
off. arid and swampy land ia included
in the plans. The association hopes
l tile state will put the land in shape
for occupation. ;
The Washington legislature, which
moots in January, will be asked to
authorize tho opening, to set aside
money for the work and to delegate
the governor to appoint a commission
of five to handle thp task. About
one million dollars will be noeded.
City workers and returned soldiers,
it is hoped, will occupy the reclaimed
lands. All settlers must ho American
S citizens. Lands will be sold on oasy
terms. |
