TtVKXTT THOUSAND ACRES OF
r. p. land to in: cultivated.
Tlio campaign of tho Union Pacific
railroad to bring tho spare land along)
its right-of-wtiy under cultivation hns
met -wiith great success.
Approximately 2G.O0O acres will bo
undor cultivation in 1917. Including!
tho branch lines, tho right-of-way of
tho Union Pacific Is almost 37,000
miles long, and tho right-of-way acres
which will bo used for raising food
crops during tho coming summer. If
all in ono piece, would mako a strip
ot land approximately 100 feet wide
and 2,200 miles long.
. Most of this land has been leased to
tjie owenrs of adjoining farms at a
nominal rental of $1 per year. Some
of. it hns been under cultivation in
provlous years, but tho recent appeal
of President Wilson for co-operation
in Increasing tho farm yield of the
country has given tremendous im
petus to tho extended use of these
right-of-wny acres.
