320 Acre Free Homestead
WYOMING, COLORADO AND MONTANA: The Mondell Homestead law makes pro
visions for 320 acre homcctea'ds in certain localities, instead of the usual 1G0
acre tracts. The requirements of the law are practically the same regarding
residence, impiovements and cultivation. These lands are going fast; if you
want a homestead close to the railroad, you should act now.
CROPS AND RAINFALL: Visitors to the Omaha Corn Show will remember the
magnificent display of farm products from Weston County, Wyoming, grown
on exactly the same kind of land that' can now be taken in 320 acre homesteads.
The Mondell Act includes lands that receive from 16 to 21 inches of rainfall
annually and you only need to see the crops grown by the farmers already lo
cated there, to be convinced. These homesteads can be taken along the Bur
lington's new line now building in Wyoming.
I personally conduct excursions the first and third Tuesdays of each month
to these lands; send this ad to your friends back east and have them write me.
