Tide Homesteading Requirements
Talked For Opening Of New Unit
Klamath Falls, Dec. 17
Methods of selecting home
steaders who will remain on the
land as earnest farmers, were
discussed at length at a confer
ence held at the reclamation
bureau offices last week in con
nection with the forthcoming
opening of 88 additional home
stead units on Tule lake.
Tulelake people at the meet
ing, in particular, spoke in
favor of financial and farming
experience qualifications for
their potential neighbors, ooth
for protection of the public in
terest and of veterans seeking
homesteads.

and other circumstances may be
changed, consideration of pos
sible revision is in order.
Reclamation officials present
indicated their belief that the
number of applicants for the 88
homesteads will run into thous
ands, probably exceeding any
previous Interest in Tulelake
land. This is due to the large
number of veterans of World
War II (the land will be opened
with veteran preference).
Under present law, veterans
of World War II only would be
given preference for the home
steads, but other legislation Is
pending which may extend pre
ference to veterans of both wars.

The 88 units will range from
55 to 120 acres in size, the total
comprising approximately 7,500
acres. The opening will occur
next year or early 1947.
Under the old regulations, an
applicant is required to have
$2,000 unencumbered assets
(cash, farm machinery, livestock
etc.) There was divided opinion
as to whether this requirement
should remain the same or be
reduced. A Tulelake spokesman
said that it takes at least $2,000
to set up a farming business in
these times.
