Reclamation plan offers homes for veterans nationwide
A circular from Secretary Lane promotes Work and Homes for Fighting Men, seeking a $100 million federal appropriation to create cooperative farm settlements for veterans. It outlines land in most states, water via dams and canals, and pays fair wages while workers drain, irrigate, and improve lands across dry western, cut-over eastern, and swamp southern territories. The aim is to establish settlements in each state and provide farms to those who help reclaim the land.
