It is not generally known, but it is a fact, that one person
can now take G40 acres of Government land in Wyo. as follows:
First, file a Desert land entry on 1G0 acres where you can
catch the drainage from 1000 acres, in a series of small storage
reservoirs sufficient to irrigate as much as SI acres of the entry
and at least 5 acres of any 40 of the 1G0. For this J GO you pay
the Government 25 cents an acre at the time of filing and S1.00
an acre when proof is made.
Second, file on 320 as a homestead no charge for the land
but entrymau must reside upon the homestead seven months
each year for three years and raise a crop on 20 acres the second
year and have 40 acres in crop the third year.
Third, buy 1G0 acres from the Government at SI. 25 per acre.
This 1G0 must join the homestead.
There are hundreds of such locations now open to entry. If
yon want one of these ranches write today for map and particulars.
