feet that the American Board has put
itself iL an attitude of approval toward

sub-resolution was ,ouchcd in milder

HOMESTEAD DISCUSSION
 Occupies Attention of Congress GIVES GLIMPSE ATFUTURE

Washington, Jan. S0.-Whether riC acres as a homestead shall take :he place of the 1GO acres is a quest on which is being discussed before the Public Lands Committee If the l{ous and Senate. Statements laIe ten made showing that square mile is not too much to allow a man in cer- tain states of the west and that 160 acres is too little. An interesting argument was made last Saturday be- fore the house committee by Repre- sentative Mondell. of Wyoming. chair man of the house irrigation commit tee. in which he took ground against any nasty action on this subject
 Congress passed a law on this question last session including the iand of western Nebraska" he said. with the understanding that it would be iu the nature of an experi- ment After a fair trial there, and careful investigation of its results, it may be wise-may be wise, I say to enact similar legislation for other limited localities; but to forthwith apply the plan to great areas of the west at this time, would be a danger ous thing. The Nebraska law has been in no sense a demonstration as yet"
 MT. Mondell stated that he had made four or five long railroad trips through this part of Nebraska and he had observed TO indication of settle ent under this law. He saw no new houses nor no evidence of increased population. He admitted that there were vast areas of the west which can eventually be classified as graz ing lands solely, irredeemable be- yOnd any process of irrigation. better farming menthods or through the iu- troduction of new arid land crops. but, he said. i've are in no condition at this time and will not be for many years to intelligently classify all those lands. There is a great advance be- ing made on the desert today, by which newly discovered crops and methods of culture are constantly making productive and will reclaim millions of acres a few years ago supposed to he absolutely unfit for crop growing. It would be a serious mistake to condemn any of these lands which will, as agricultural
