Desert Land Entries.

Following is a resume of the law gov
erning desert land entries, by John w.
Corbell'U 5. Land Com. that may be of in
tere"t to those wishing to lake lands under
the act:
Every citizen of the United States and
those who have declared their intention 10
become such, over 81 years old, or the
head OF a family is entitled to $40 acres of
agricultural public land. Every male
citizen is entitled to 100 acres as a home
stead. If he so desires. which limits his
rights to a desert claim to go acres. A
married woman is entitled to a desert claim
OF 100 acres. In other words, a man and
his wife are entitled to 64o acres. A Des-
ert claim must be in compact form unless
good reasons can be shown why it is better
to take in another form.
Desert land costs sI.25 per acre in mon
ey and at least $500 per acre in work
The sum of twenty-five cents per acre must
accompany the application and one dollar
per acre is payable on final proof. AT
least sI.oo per acre must be expended each
year in permanent improvements for a
period OF three years and a yearly state
ment, ~corroberated by two disinterested
witnesses, showing how money was ex-
pended must be made. ANY thing in the
way OF permanent improvements count in
this required expenditure If desired. final
proof can be made in one year. Final
payment is not required until four years
after date of filing.
"A map showing the completed plan OF
irrigation must accompany the application
and this map must show the actual plan
contemplated. 1t is required to put water
on all the land in sufficient quantity to re-
claim it and if there are any high or un-
even places on the land, impossible to irri-
gate, this map should show them. With
the final proof, another map, showing
what has been actually accomplished, is
required. 1t is required to cultivate at
least one eighth of the land.
Desert land is construed to mean anv
LAND hal will not, in an ordinary season,
"heh unied by grazing animals, produce
a crop of hay, sufficient in quantity to pay
for the cutting, or will not produce an
agricultural crop of any kind, in an
ordinary season, without artificial irrigation
in sufficient quantity to be remunerative.
Desert claims can be filed on either sur
veyed or unsurveyed land, Homesteads can
be filed only ON surveyed land. While
there have been no material changes in
the Desert Land Laws recently, on account
OF so much fraud connected with it, the
policy of the government is to give desert
claims special attention to the end that the
law must be complied with in every re-
spect."
