The commissioners Of the general land
office at Washington, having been re-
Guested by parties Interested In Western
Florida to give an opinion upon the right
OF homestead settler to box trees upon
the land for turpentine purposes. has
made the following reply: There is no
warrant of law for authorizing the boxing
of timber for turpentine purposes on
lands covered by unprotected homestead
entries in0smuch as such use of the tim
Der does not constitute such cultivation
as Is concentrated in the second section
OF the act Of May 20, 1868 which has clear
~ in view the ullng or ferttlizng of the
soil Far from being an act of culttXa-
tion within the spirit of the law the pro
cess Of boxing has been reported to be one
of actual damage In this connection it
should be borne in mind that While the
bona hde settler. under the homestead
law is invested with a right Of occupancy.
a the same time that right carries with
il such rights OF property merely as are
necessary TO the perfectins of his title.
In all his actions as an entryman. there
fore, the Improvement Of lie land must be
the principal object, and the using Of the
timber the incident only. In view of the
above. all boxing OF trees for turnentine
purposes on lands covered by homestead
entries is prohibited"
