Public domain unfit to farm for returning soldiers
Commissioner Tallman reports 225,000,000 acres of public lands remain unappropriated and largely unsuitable for farming. Much land is grazing or requires drainage and clearing. Proposals include employing workers to clear and level land with available water and funding new irrigation projects. Millions of acres in the South could yield profits if developed. The report highlights waste land near the nation’s capital versus Nevada’s vast public lands.
