NEW LAND RULING IS MADE.

E~ntrymen H~encefOrth Must Prove
Both Residence and Cultivation.
In a decision OF the general and Office
In Washington it was held that in order
to enable the heirs of a homestead entry
man to submit Communication proof of his
entry. they must show both residence on
and cultivation of the land for fourteen
months by the entryman. or the heirs. or
partly by both. The same rule. it was
held. applies in a case where commuta-
ton proof is submitted by the widow of
the entryman. The decision is of consid-
cradle interest because heretofore it has
only been necessary for an entryman or
an heir to show either residence on or
cultivation of the land for fourteen
months. In another decision it was held
that when an entryman sells his improve
ments on the land and relinquishes his
entry in connection Herewith, he is not
entitled to make a second homestead en-
try under the act of Congress of Feb. 8,
1909.
