New York, Jan. 10.—The best chance that a poor man who wishes to avoid the struggle for existence in a big city has is to apply to the United States government for a farm in the reclaimed public areas. C. J. Blanchard told an audience in the Manhattan club. Mr. Blanchard is the statistician of the United States reclamation service. Farm values have increased so much, Mr. Blanchard pointed out, that it is practically impossible for a man of small means to own a farm unless he applied to the government for a site on easy terms in the reclaimed areas.
