Curtiss Wright swap deal is just one of many such trades that haVe been going on in the past and very likely will be intensified in the future as the industrial development of Nevada surges ahead It is impossible for real estate buyers to corner large tracts of federal land by buying it directly because the federal government will not sell Among other reasons the federal government advances for not selling is that the land has been parceled out under grazing permits to livestock growers in the vicinity Curtiss Wright Deals Due To Cost Humboldt County With The Mapes Skylets Joy Healy
