New Homestead Law

Following Is a synopsis of the in
structions Issued by the secretary of
the interior for the administration of
the new three-year homestead law.
1. Period of residence reduced
from five to three years, to count
from the time actual residence Is es-
tablished. Proof must be submitted
within five years of date of entry.
2. Cultivation of not less than
one-sixteenth beginning with the sec
ond year and not less than one-eighth
beginning with the third year and
until final proof. Mere breaking Is
not sufficient; seed must be planted
in good faith. Grazing not accepted
as to certain lands opened to entry
under special acts providing therefor.
3. Secretary will not reduce the
required area of cultivation because
of any physical or financial disabili-
ties of the entryman, but only where
exaction of the statutory area is un-
reasonable on account of the peculiar
conditions of the soil; applications
for such reduction must be made
during the first year on forms fur
nished by the local land offices.
These applications are passed upon
by the commissioner, with right OF
appeal to the secretary.
4. Soldiers and sailors must re-
side on entries one year before re-
ceiving credit for service; must show
cultivation of not less than one
eighth for at least one year.
5. Entrymen can not receive con-
sideration from the com missioner of
applications to extend beyond the or
binary period of six months allowed
for establishment of residence, but
the homesteader's right will be ad-
Indicated when the question Is
raised. Homesteaders must go upon
the land as soon as hindering cause
is removed.
6. Absence for five months In
each year allowed, but continued
residence as to other seven must be
shown. Two five-month periods OF
absence, although in different years
of the entry, will not be allowed; six
months absence renders entry sub
1ect to contest. Extended periods OF
absence only respected in final proof
or contests where notice of such abb
sences have been given, both at be-
ginning and upon return. Former
laws as to absence not repealed.
z. Communication (where 1t here
tofore existed) not affected, except
that entryman must be a citizen OF
the United States.
8. Where an entryman dies his
widow or legal successor may make
up to three-year period, residence
not being required of the widow OF
other heir, and only cultivation be-
ing necessary. Proof of non-com
