Long debate on 640 acre homestead plan in Oregon legislature
A longstanding argument before the Senate and House public lands committees questions whether a square mile 640 acres should replace 160 acres for homesteads. Representative Mondell of Wyoming urged cautious action, noting Nebraska’s trial and forecasting future irrigated dry farming. He cited Weston and Crook counties showing progress with nonirrigated grain and crops, and warned against hasty nationwide adoption.
