32O-Acre Honesteads.

32O-Acfe HOmeSteadS.
The committee has reported favor
ably in the house on Representative
Mundell's enlarged homestead bill.
The bill provides that the lands
shall be located In reasonably com
pact body not over one and half
miles in extreme length.
Any homestead entryman now &C.
cup;ing lands of the character mere
inbefore described, heretofore entered
by him, upon which final proof has
not been made, shall have the right
to enter public s--subject to the
provisions of this act, lying contig-
uous to his former entry, which shall
not together with the original entry
exceed 32O acres, and residence upon
and cul 'ivation of the original entry
shall be deemed as residence upon
and cultivation of the additional en-
try.
One eighth of the area entered shall
be cultivated to other crops than
native grasses beginning with the
second year of entry and at least one
quarter of the area embraced in the
entry continuously cultivated. be-
ginning with the third years ..of the
entry.
No entry can be committed. If
there is not a sufficient water supply
for domestic residence on any such
tract it shall be 80 DESIGNATED by the
secretary of interior and entry can
be made without necessity of resi-
dence, but cultivation shall not be
less than one eighth Of the entire
area of the entry, during the second
ye,r, one fourth during the third
year, and one half.during the fourth
and fifth years after the date of such
entry. f,.
The provisions of this bill, says
the Bismarck Tribune, will, be bene-
fetal to North Dakota under the
present condition of the settlement
Of this state, for the reason that the
most Of the public lands in this state
have now been homesteaded. The
lands have been culled over until the
most desirable AGRICULTURAL tracts
have been taken. Much of the va
cant land left is more or less broken,
hilly,. stony and a smaller area Of
each 160-acre tract is subject To- pro-
per cultivation than the millions Of
acres now occupied by settlers. To
give those who now select land 320
acres instead of 100 will only place
the newer SETTLERS on 4 par with
those who having greater range Of
selection secured better lands. In
the broken region along the Little
Missouri river and in many parts Of
North and South Dakota there are
many 100 acre tracts upon which not
enough land suitable for cultivation
exist to maintain family, while 500
acre, tracts would do 80 very nicely.
In some localities the climate .condi-
tion warrant dry farming, which is
now part of the experimental stage.
Dry farming is great success, but
as part of the land must be idle each
season to be in preparation for the
next season, more land is required
than would be necessary where the
whole or major portion OF the ground
can be utilized every year.
