WASHINGTON. Apr. 12.—<AP>
—Alaska beckons to men n uni
form who are seriously interested
in full-time farming after the
war, or looking for a homesi'e
set dement coupled with other
employment the General Land
Office said in its new bulletin
titled: ‘‘Answers to Questions by
Servicemen About Land Se'tle
ment in Alaska.”
The bulletin says that of the
total area of the Territory of
Alaska, 365.000,000 acres; 323‘
000,000, acres are vacant and un
used or not reserved in any way,
and are subject to disposal under
public land laws.
The bulle'in emphasizes that
much hard work lies ahead for
the settler, and suggests that the
servicemen now on duty in Alas
ka, take a look at the available
lands.
The best prospects now to be
found for agricuPural settlements
are in the Tanana river valley,
Cook Inlet, the Matanuska Val-;
ley area, Kenai Peninsula.
Agricultural lands may be
found in other parts of the Ter-:
ritory, but because of lack of
roads and distances to the mar
ket, and wi'h some in less fav
orable climates, but with many
chances for successful farming
but not as promising as in the
aforementioned districts.
More detailed information is
available at the dis'rict Land of
fices in Nome, Anchorage and
Fairbanks.
