With an ever increasing flood of men returning home from the war to take up anew the tasks of civil life, many of them with greatly changed Ideas of life and am bitions and in a quandry as to just what to do, are appealing to the de partment of interior for information as to the intentions ot the government in its proposed plan for providing farms for soldiers. ma Such a deluge of requests has been received from the men who wore the uniform as to emphasize the lesson of all other wars that the service men, because of army life, with its open ness an dactivity, largely seek out-of-doors vocations. , -- The interior department has already explained tomore than 40,000 men that the development of its plans rests solely with congress. It ; is expected that early in the extra session which AUDITS T R. T. RAINES Public Accountant Auditor American National Bank Building. Pensacola. Fla. McCaskill Block, DeFunlak Springs, Fla.

" convenes May 19, there will be Intro duced bills covering the farms-for-sol-diers plan. Briefly the department is saying tba.t if such legislation is 'passed, work will begin at once in the development of cooperative farm settlements for sol diers and sailors -In nearly all of the states!. In ractically every state in the union there are large , areas of land suitable for this purpose. There is dry land in the West that needs water, which can be provided by build ingdams and canals. In the East are large areas of cut-over or logged-off timber lands from which It will be necessary to blow the stumps and clear off the underbrush. In the South is a large amount of cutover land and mp land which must be drained. jlany of the soldiers have asked if it will be possible for them to obtain a job near their homes by draining, clearing, irrigating and improving these lands. That again depends upon the action of congress in proviging the money for construction., The plans propose that these settlements be scat tered all oyer the country, so that it would be possible for every honor ably discharged soldier or sailor or marine to work near his old home. There wouldl be work of all kinds in connection with these settlements, from the highest technical and clerical po sitions to that of laborer. The plan involves "the new farm idea" in that there will be built what are known as community settlements, each containing a number of farm homes, so that the men wilThave near neighbors, good roads over which to bring their . products to town, and a market for the sale of the produce within a short distance of the farm home. Efforts will be made to over come the handicaps of farm life that are driving the people to the cities the lack of society in the country, the distance between farm homes, the re moteness from the postofflce and the newspaper, the desire for better school facilities for the children- Under the new way there will be the farm vil lage, the settlement of farmers around a center whjch is their home, in which can be gathered most of the advant ages of the city the good school, the church, the moving picture, the well outfitted store, and these, with good roads, the rural express, the telephone, the automobile and the postofflce will make life on the farm a thing of far different meaning from the isolated life it has been. ; ' After these service men have build- ed the dams and canals,' or cleared the cut-over lands of stumps, or built the ditches to drain the swamp lands; after they have helped to erect houses and barns, built fences, constructed roads and laid out town sites, built creameries, canneries, warehouses, and schools, after they have in fact re claimed the land, the government .In tends to allow the men to. pick out one of these farms. The plans provides that ,these farms and homes shall be paid for in small payments over a long term of years. It is expected that the men will be able to pay the first small payment out of the wages received from the government In help- elay Rails and tAILWAY Accessories A! ZZZtzr? voaxiSs to the ysi .

The bal ance can be paid from the proceeds from the sale of crops. it la nlanned that the government will also furnish the new-farmers with the necessary stock and farm imple ments, these to be paid for in small payments spread over several years. These farms will contain from tony in pisrhtv acres for general farming purposes, from eighty to one hundred and sixty acres for live stock purposes, from fifteen to twenty acres for fruit farms and from Ave to twenty acres for truck" farms. V Competent instructors in form prac tice will be stationed on ' each project to teach the men how to make a suc cess of farming. This' will make it possible for men who know nothing about farmings to make a success of these farms. "The plan is to be open to every man who has worn Uncle Sam's -uniform in the great war. E.
