One hundred of the homesteads

miles north of Cody.
The lands are described as raw,
with about one-third covered
with sagebrush and the remainder
with native grasses. Soils, the rec
lamation buureau says, consists!
primarily of sandy loam under-1

“Adaptable crops,” according to
the bureau, “include alfalfa, clo-
ver. wheat, barley, oats, beans,
peas, potatoes and sugar beets.
Legumes arc recommended as
crops for the first few years. Cat

are important industries, and hogs
and poultry do well. Applicants

erans of World War 2 settled on
adjoining farm units offered by
the government since the war.
