The new tax system which is be-
ing proposed for Kentucky should be
one that will decrease the tax of the
man who owns a small piece of land
which cannot possibly escape the tax
gather. In order to do this, we sug-
gest that there are thousands and
thousands OF dollars in personal
property, notes and bank deposits,
which never pay one cent of taxes.
Is this fair to the land owners?

$4,000 ACRES OF GRAIN AND
FLAX WILL BE SOWN IN THIS
LOCALITY
FROM 900 TO ACRES UNDER CULTIVATION THIS
VALLEY WILL BECOME FAVORED AGRlCUlT lTURAL REGION.

Does the old timer or the new set.
tier realize what an acreage of land
there is under cultivation in tins To-
cality? Up until the past two or
three years the cattle and stock in
dustry hourished here aud the
ranchers generally did not cultivate
the soil, but with the rapid settle
ment of the country has come a real
ization Of the wonderful productive
ness of the soil and the new conner,
unlike the first settler, has not been
satisfied to have three, five or ten
acres broken up, but has had the sod
turned on from fifty to one hundred
and fifty acres, until the area now
under cultivation is very large. This
area is being Widened and broadeneu
daily for numbers OF steam, gasoline
and horse ploWing outfits are turn
ing over the virgin soil. Last year
it was estimated there We're eight
Thousand acres in this locality soWn
to crops. This spring it is estimated
there will be fifteen Thousand acres
under cultivation.
This estimate is based upon the
amount of seed grain the st. Anth0-
ny u Oak ots Elevator Company and
other local dealers will distribute to
the farmers, and the amount Of seed
being brought i'll by the new home-
Steauers.
This large area soWn to crops, with
only Il far yield, will pat the country
, in Il very prosperous condition, and
it will give to the homesteader who
has not invested dollar in the land
as large or larger returns than he
would receive from crops raised ON
eastern lands that would cost him
S1OOt $l2o per acre. Few appreci-
ate this difference in the price of the
investment and expect 4 bumper
crop every year.
Later-When interviewed, o. W..
Simonson, manager of the st. An
thony Il Dakota Ele. Co., said he
believed that 10 900 acres i'm crops for
this locality was Il conservative es-
innate. Mr. Simonson has already
sold wheat for 1000 acres; he and
other dealers have sold or have or
dered oats to sow 1000 acres; and
the orders for flax seed will SOW
4 200 acres. Besides this amount of
seed grain and flax, many ranchers
had seed left over from last year and
anumber ofthe immigrants are bring
ing seed in, so that the number of
acres under cultivation may reach
100000.

A NEW RULING PERMITS SECOND
HOMESTEAD AND DESERT
ENTRIES
GIVE MANY CHANCE TO GET NEW HOME FROM UNCLE SAM
PROVISIONS OF LAW CAREFULLY EXPLAINED

The law passed by congress in Feb
ruary permits second homestead and
desert entries under certain condi-
tions. 1t provides that settlers who
lost. abandoned or relinquished
homestead or desert entries prior to
Feb. 3, last, are allowed to make new
homestead entries. The old law gave
this right to those only who had lost
their entries in the way stated prior
to Feb. s, 1908.
The provisions Of the new law are
to this effect:
Any person who, prior to approval
of this act, has made entry under the
desert and homestead land laws, but
who subsequent to such entry, from
any cause, shall have lost, forfeited
or abandoned the same, shall be en-
titled to the benefits Of the home
stead or desert land laws as though
such former entries had not been
made, and any person applying for
the second homestead or desert land
entry under this act shall furnish a
description and the date of his for
mer application. Provided that the
provisions of this act shall not apply
to any person whose former entry
was cancelled for fraud, or who re-
linquished his former entry for q
valuable consideration in excess OF
the filing fee paid by him for his
original entry.
All homestead entries which have
been cancelled or relinquished or are
invalid solely because of the erron-
eous allowance of such entries after
the withdrawal of lands for national
forest purposes, may be reinstated or
allowed to remain intact, but in the
case of entries heretofore Cancelled
must be filed in the proper local land
office prior to July /, 1912.
That IN all cases where contests
were initiated under the provisions
of the act of May 4, 1880, prior to the
withdrawal of the land for national
purposes, the qualified successful
contestants may exercise their pref
erence right to enter the land within
six months after the passage of this
act.
