The caption reads: "To help veterans get farms: Directing the program for settlement of veterans irrigated farms in the West is Goodrich W. Lineweaver, recently named director of the Branch of Operation and Maintenance for the Bureau of Reclamation, Washington, D.C. Nearly 200,000 new family-size farms would be created on irrigation projects under plans of the Bureau presented to the Congress for postwar construction of 415 projects in 17 Western States. More than 100 of these projects have been authorized. Others are under construction. The two largest for postwar development are the Columbia Basin project, Washington State, and the Central Valley project, California. Mr. Lineweaver also will direct the Bureau's land-use program and serve as an adviser to Commissioner H. W. Dashore on programs for repayment to the Federal Government of nearly a billion dollars invested in projects irrigating more than four million acres."
