Sec. 433a. Preference of needy families
It is declared to be the policy of the Congress that, in the opening
to entry of newly irrigated public lands, preference shall be given to
families who have no other means of earning a livelihood, or who have
been compelled to abandon, through no fault of their own, other farms in
the United States, and with respect to whom it appears after careful
study, in the case of each such family, that there is a probability that
such family will be able to earn a livelihood on such irrigated lands.
