Pioneers Rush to Farms Reclaimed by U S Project from Northwest Desert
A vast migration to irrigated homesteads in the Northwest funded by the U S Bureau of Reclamation aims to turn desert acres into productive farms for World War II veterans. The program, centered around the Columbia Basin and Grand Coulee projects, offers free land to those meeting asset and experience requirements, with water the key to transformation.
