Winter Wheat Damaged.

OF more than 200, 900 acres OF winter
heat in Umali'la COZ 0. y, f. ON 80 to 40
per cent WI lave to be resowI Is the
general opin,oo expressed today by some
of those in the best posi- on to figure
on the subject says tie East o eyonian.
As . result wheat is worth mo,e be e
than at any time during the past two
years. To reseed the land that has
been frozen out, and to feed for the rest
Of the season until the new crop has
been harvested is roughly estimated at
100 900 bushels OF wheat and barley.
Red Chat is selling at 81 cents per
bushel in the warehouse for seeding,
while Sonora is quoted at 81 and 62ls
cents. One objection to Sonora wheat
is that obout two bushels OF it has 70 be
sown to the acre, while only one OF red
chat has to be used.
The loss in Unstils county is esti-
mated At not less than $3.50 900. This
is figured as follows: Amount Of land
that will be fesown, 10000 acres; ex.
penses OF sowing and difference in value
of crop between winter wheat and re-
seeded winter land, tour dollars to the
acre. Four dollars per acre on 70, 900
acres. $3.50 600 These figures, also,
are ottAued from the farmers who in
the past years have had to reseed. and
have kept close tAb on their losses.

OF INTEREST TO SETTLERS

Washington, March /. - Comm.s-
soner Hermann, of tie General Land
Office, has recently rendered decis ;one
ia number OF significant land cases,
in soIvia2 points OF more than passing
interest. From these decisions, the fol-
loweog facts and rulings are gathered ::
Upon the question whether one can
make SO dier's additional homestead
enter elsewhere without the coodition
Of residence upon the cultivation Of the
land, it is held that there is moth ng in
law requiring residence and cult yatlon
o. the land entered under the add ton
al right, whether the additional entry
WAS pc fected or abandoned.
AS TO status OF a homestead entry
upon the death OF the settler it 's held
that where he dies before the consun-
mat on OF his CAIN the widow, or in
| case cf her death the heiia, may con-
tnue the settlement and cuitiyat on and
obtain tile upon requisite proof at the
proper me. !, the widow u owes up,
title passes to her if she dies before
proving 40 and the heirs make the
proof, the title will vest in them.
Where homestead settler is 80 far
mentally uoba lanced as 10 requi g a
guardian i: is held that his entrv NAV
be p owed up a1d bis aim per.ected
by any person duly autho lied to act 70
him du-iug his disability, out in this
case the entryman must have become
mentally unsouhd subsequent to the in
it alton OF his claim.
There is no authority or an extension
o. time for the establ sbme1t o; resi-
dence on homestead ent ' except in
cases where party is % 'eyeuled by |
climatic cooditioas, such as severe |
storms, foods, hlockades by snow or
ice, or other hindrances dependent up
on climatic causes which render it in
possible for him TO commence residence |
within SIX months
Where y soldier OF the civil war never
exercised his right OF entry his widow,
if unmarried, may make homestead
entry upon which she is not required to |
to identify herself wit the tract
claimed by some personal set indicative
OF her claim.
