LEASING PUBLIC LANDS.
DANGER 10 THE HOMESTEAD IN
ATTEMPTS 40 PROVIDE LIVE
STOCK GRAZING.
Measures Pending In Congress to
Allow Stockmen to Fence and
Graze-DlfflcuIty Lies In Protect
Ing Rights of Settlers.


There Is strong movement afoot,
and several bills have been introduced
in this Congress to provide system
OF renting or leasing the public graz
ing lands of the West at small charge
OF from one to five cents per acre.
There are some 300,0O0,O00 acres OF
western public lands which come under
the general classification of Grazing
Lands" some Of which are extremely
barren in character-almost desert
and are capable of sustaining live
stock at the rate of only about one
head Of cattle to 80 or 40 acres; other
lands where there is more rainfall, are
much better for grazing purposes, ana
some of the best of them are capable
OF sustaining steer on probably 2, 3
or 5 acres. Many of the latter class are,
however, suitable for homesteads.
The difficulty has always been, as it
Is today, to provide rental plan which
will give stock raisers sufficient con-
troll Of the land to warrant them in
fencing it and improving its grazing
capacity, at the same time leaving the
conditions such that the settler and
prospective home-steader will at all
times have free access thereto.
Under the improved methods of farm.
ing advocated by the Department Of
Agriculture, and the new drought re-
sisting crops which are being intro
duced by that Department, large tracts
hitherto considered fit for nothing but
grazing, are being constantly brought
under the head of agricultural land.
The climatic conditions of the inter.
mountain region are extremely varied,
and the settler (where he is not hin.

Each day we drove through the deep
sand, the horse just walking; but 1t
was lovely, lazing along after this fash

trees with sheaf of leaves at the top,
and always the gray moss swinging
gracefully in the breeze.
Mattresses Of Moss.
Z This Florida moss, by the way, is
not moss at all. but kind Of minute
pineapple, and it seems that both 1t
and the pineapple are true air plants.
There is no underbrush in these Flori-
da pine woods except now and then
patches of scrub palmetto, which looks
like the ordinary ornamental fan palm
that we cultivate for ornament In the
north, except that it never grows high
nor has any trunk.
Z, Coming over a little rise we would
perhaps look down on pretty lake, its
banks lined with orange groves. Every
drive we took showed US several new
lakes so that this seems well named
the Lake Region of the state.
I Colonel T. has beautiful home
among the pines, and there plucked
my first orange and grape fruit, my
first lime and lemon. There, also, saw
the fragrant blossom, the green orange
and the ripe, yellow fruit, all growing
on one tree. One of the finest groves
we visited contained 1000 trees, cover
ed with oranges, while many of the
trees were full Of bloom. These brides
flowers look like white wax stars
among the rich, dark, vanished leaves,
and the trees met overhead, forming
arches under which we drove-0ne Of
the most attractive sights imaginable.
We pulled all the fruit and blossoms
we wanted. 1t is fascinating expert
ence to stand under large orange or
grapefruit tree, and look up through
the branches, the leaves so rich and
green, with golden globes hanging
from them, their weight sometimes
bending the branches to the ground,
and all this wealth OF vendure grow
5ng out Of white sand.
| Picnicing Among The Oranges.
| On the first day Of March we drove
to the young grove in which my hus-
band and son were interested, there
picnicing in the pine woods along
side and sucking oranges by the dozen.
This reminds me that when oranges
are ripe-and the season 10 six months
long-you never take . water bottle
with you when you 60 driving through
Florida.
The mornings ana evenings have
been cool enough for a little fire, but
the days are like those of our northern
June. We saw bananas growing, and
the long purplish blossom is very odd
The fruit gross exactly upside down.
Eustis Park is pretty place; just
drive through pine woods almost
clothed in Spanish moss. They bury
this moss in the sand to rot of the out
side, the inside fiber making a good
substitute for hair which is used in the
manufacture of mattresses. There are
several factories, am told, In the
State which make fine mattresses Out
of this moss. In the Park the gray
squirrels chase each other up AND
down the branches, and we counted
IA in less than two minutes. The blue
herons fly continually back and forth
and the little ponds through the park
are full of white water lilies. Mex

are naturally against any settling and
development of their regions), is con-
stantly encroaching upon their graz
ing domain and finding new localities,
here and there, of a very great aggre-
gate extent, where he can acquire a
successful foothold to carry on agri-
cultural operations.
The lacey leasing BIN.
One bill In particular has been intro.
duced by Chairman Lacey of the Public
Lands Committee of the House, and is
apparently intended to protect small
st0ckmen as well as to prevent any re-
stricti0nS against the settler. In the
first place it provides that no corpora
ton can lease government land. A
man who had . homestead or owns
a piece OF land, may lease as much as
5000 acres, which in most grazing To-
calitieS would not be an excessive
amount. The measure provides that
such leases shall not be transferred,
and that where they include watering
places there shall be left open fright
LOT way" for other stockmen to pass
through the land and to use the water
for their stock. 1t also leaves the
leased land open at all times TO home
stead entry by actual settlers.
On the face Of it this looks equitable,
and as though it might be administered
so as not to work to the detriment of
settlement and of the small stock
holder. On the other hand it seems
apparent that it would be exceedingly
difficult to prevent big cattle corpor-
alton from hiring dozen cowboys to
take up homesteads in their own names
erecting thereupon shanty residences,
as has been done in thousands of cases
| in the West, and simply to hold their
claims and their 5000 acres each, OF
leased land, for the benefit Of their
employers; so that q single cattle bar
on might easily acquire the use OF 30
or 40 thousand acres
Hard for the Homesteader.
It is also not at all certain that once
| holding a lease to the land and with a
fence around 1t, the cowboy might not
bulldoze intending settlers into passing
/ on to some less hostile region. No
homebuilder, unless he be made of ex
ceedingly stern stuff, cares to attempt
making home in the face of Win
chester or of threats that If he at
tempts a settlement, his fence wires
will be cut, his grass all eaten off ant
the place be made so hot for him thai
he will wish that he had never gone
into the COW country. This course has
been pursued by the stockmen witt
great success in many western sections
leven where the settler was trying tt
make home upon free public land
where the cattlemen had no shadow o.
legal right to fence or hold it. Tha
the legal lease-right to fence the Liant
land keep other stockmen on would b,
invoked to repel settlement goes with
Tout saying.
