have been on account OF there
not being sufficient cultivation,
where the land in question has
been one Of the farm units which
are under the reclamation pro-
ject.
The general land office holds
that farm units should have more
than g nominal amount OF land
plowed and cultivated as it is
expected that entrymen will utll-
ize this land for farming pur-
poses, and to only cultivate gar
den spot does not satisfy the
department.
So far, where there has been
any amount of acres ploWed and
cultivated, and the department
holds that blowing alone is not
sufficient, but that the land must
have been cultivated and some
kind Of crop raised, the proofs
have all been approved both by
local officials and the general
land Office after the papers have
reached Washington. Some of
the proofs passed by the local
officials have been rejected at
Washington, which indicates that
strict observance Of the require
ments of the law, and the rules
of the department are being
required.
tits advisable, therefore, for all
those who are thinking of Offer
ing communication proof on farm
units, to have several acres
under cultivation before en-
deavoring to do so.
