Argus: Notes to Farmers.

Oregon seems to be adapted to wheat raising. One farmer is re- ported to have had an average of 83 1-2 bushels to the acre and he had 10 1-2 acres. This IS a re- markable crop, but the soil will not hold cut long from such ex- haustive yields. So far no fertil- izers have been used but the old system of Summer fallow is prac- iced.
 One of the best prtventives of all kinds of diseases to which dumb animals are prone, is pure water. The stagnant pond is not pure water by any means. That green slime is laden with billions of disease germs ofeevery kind. Pure water comes only from pure sources-springs and deep wells. Cisterns If kept we'll cleaned, are not so bad, but are not so good as springs.

FRAUDULENT ENTRIES
LAND OFFICE WILL SHAKE UP
SANTA BARBARA
Alleged That Ninety Of the Homestead
Entries Were Frauds on
Their Face

SANTA BARBARA, May 23.-The United
States land office is about to give this vi
cinity big shake up soon in regard to the
forest reservations. Jay Cummings. spe-
cial agent of the department, has been here
on a'visit of inspection and many surprises
are likely to follow. He has been over Pine
ton and finds that 80 per cent of the home
stead entries are only on paper and conse-
quently fraudulent.
The homesteader has built cabin on his
claim and fenced off the mouth of CAN
yon, giving him three or four miles of pas
turage and valuable water right, to which
he has no legal title. In the first place, he
can take up only 16O acres, and in the next
he must give up the claim unless he con-
tinually proves up. In a large number of
cases the cabin is deserted and the owner
is either in San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Bakersfield or Santa Barbara.
These squatters, who are virtually nom
residents of the claims, expect to bring
witnesses in to prove title to their home
steads, but will find they have run against
snag. Mr.. Cummings stated that he
would recommend the suspension of all
homestead entries within the reservation.
are complying with the law, but will bar
the fraudulent attempts.
If settler owns a quarter section of
land or more within the reservation, or #
the homesteader has not proved up, he can
take advantage of the same proposition,
and the time and fees will be credited on
the new claim. Or the settler has the OPP
