Under the Order 11,783 acres of Federal land's are added to the Dixie National For. est and 14,825 are transferred to the Dept of Interior to be managed In connection with public domain lands under the Taylor Grazing Act. Involved In the change are 19,833 acres of Wldtsoe Land Utilization Project in Garfield County which were purchased by the federal government in the late 1930's and 6775 acres of public domain lands intermingled with project lands.
