RULE ON HOMESTEAD ENTRIES
ReEister Burke Issues Letter to
Holders of South Dakota
Land.

sIOUN FALLS, s. D., March iS.-tSpe-
cial)-Inasmuch as a great deal Of confu-
sion appears to exist as to the time which
those who make homestead entries are re-
quired to remain upon their homesteads
before making Communication final proofs,
John l.. Burke, register of the United
States land office at Rapid City, has issued
a letter of instruction to the thousands OF
homesteaders who at present hold govern
ment land In South Dakota on which they
have not as yet submitted final proof.
Under the old system. after a settler
made entry he or she had a period of six
months to establish a residence on the
land covered by the entry, and when they
made final proofs this preliminary period
was counted constructive residence, and
with an additional residence of eight months
more-fourteen months in all-they were
enabled to make final proof.
Register Burke calls attention to the fact
that in the case of all homestead entries
made since November L 1907, a full four
teen months' actual residence is required
before the person who mad an entry will
be eligible to submit their final proof. Thus
the six months constructive residence,
which had in the past been considered in
reference to c-ommutation proofs. is elm
mated.
