A Good Rain

This locality was enriched by a
million dollar rain Tuesday and
Wednesday. A quiet, soaking rain
commenced falling Monday night
and continued throughout the two
days. As large portion of the
spring crops were sown and some OF
the grain up, the rain did an estima-
BILE amount of good, increasing the
yield many bushels per acre. The
range, pastures and gardens have
alike been benefited. The precipita-
ton amounted to 20 inches for the
two days.

Raises New Barrier For Home
steaders

Even though public lands be Of
the character contemplated by the
enlarged homestead laws, they can
not be designated under those laws
until six months after the township
plats of the survey have been filed
in the Washington land office. This
bit of information will he of interest
to squatters in many parts of Monta-
ma, who have been trying to have
the territory in which they reside
designated in order to protect their
squatter rights accordingly.
This letter of the secretary to the
director of the geological survey re-
garding the matter, and in which
the order is conveyed, reads in part:
Designation under the enlarged
homestead act should not be made
until after reasonable opportunity
has been afforded to make entry UNI
der the general homestead laws. 1t
is only those instancese where there
is no real demand for entries under
the general homestead laws, that
designations for enlarged home
steads should be considered.
i have therefore to direct that
no designation under the enlarged
homestead act be submitted for de-
partmental approval until the expi-
ration of six months following the
filing of the toweship plats for sur
vey. The action of the entrymen
during that period may 60 far toward
developing the real necessity of that
locality, Great Falls Leader.

To Aid In Agriculture.

In addition to the straightout appro-
priation Of $40. 900 Maryland will receive
S3S, 700 from the Government for the
purpose of disseminating agricultural
information through its State agricul-
turaI college If the Lever bill becomes
law. according to a report Of Congress-
man Lever, author Of the bill. which has
been made public.
The bill provides that each State in
the Union shall receive $40. 900 uncondi-
tionalIy for its agricultural college work.
A SO. 900. 600 appropriation is then divid-
ed between the States according to the
percentage of their rural population to
the total rural population to the country.
The total rural population of Maryland
is 637. i5i. The total in the country is
10. 600, 600.
Virginia will get in addition to the Sl0,
900, 500. 900, West Virginia, $50, 300;
North Carolina. Sll4.9O0.
The purpose Of the bill is to carry to
the farmer upon his own farm the scien-
tific and better methods Of agriculture
which the colleges and experiment sta
tions originate and test. The State col
leges will be in charge of the extension
work in each State and not the Federal
Government, as Mr. Lever believes each
State and its agricultural experts at the
State colleges are better qualified to
pass on their own conditions than the
Federal authorities.

for Congressman J. Harry Covington
of this Congressional District to consult
him about his amendments to the Pana-
ma Canal Regulation law which passed
the House recently. Mr.. Covington
and the President had quite lengthy
conference. during which the President
endeavored to impress our Congress
man that they should get together
on rules regulating traffic through the

that his visit to the canal had convinced
him that the premises he had taken were
the only ones to safeguard the use of
the great waterway to all the people
without il being made tool of the

The President admires the ability of our
