Information

For the home seeker there are millions of acres of government land located in this State, a large percentage of which is benefited by the Enlarged Homestead Act “How to Acquire Government Lands.”  There are also several million acres of state land for sale in tracts of from 40 acres up to any sized tract desired.  This land can be bought on the 30-year installment plan or for cash, at the option of the purchaser.  See “How to Acquire State Lands.”

The enormous acreage of vacant land affords opportunity to the home seeker and small investor to acquire a nice orchard site, farm or country home at practically no cost.
