The largest factor ia what a
contemporary calls "the internal
expansion of the United States"
is not to be found in the redemp
tion of arid and semi-arid tracts
by irrigation or "dry farming"
or in the drainage of the swamps,

shall add 100.000.000 acres to the

It will be found in the better

The necessity for a land-leasing
law of course has been rendered
more acute by the restoring to
the public domain of extensive
areas of land through the demol
ition of illegal fences. The de
struction of these fences must
continue. We hsve no al'

Congress, and it is the en for

that the administration is adopt

"It would be my idea." ssid
Commissioner Bellinger, "and I
believe it is the idea of the ad
