Homestead Bill
Conferees Agrees
To House Plans

WASHINGTON, May Especial,
The conferees on the three-year
homestead bill, after sessions
last night and this afternoon,
reached Il tentative agreement.
Their report will indorse the
bill as it passed the house, pro
viding for a reduction of the
time to complete homestead en-
try from five to three years, per-
hitting an entryman to tbe alb
sent for not more than five
months in each year after estab-
fishing residence, and allowing
in case of sickness or climatic
reasons - months from date of
filing in which to commence a
residence.
The amendments agreed upon
by the conference committee re-
quire cultivation on each home,
stead entry of one sixteenth of
the aera the second year OF resi-
dence, and one eighth the third
year. This cultivation require
ment will also apply to enlarged
homesteads, thereby reducing
the area required by the present
law one-half on homesteads of
this class.
The secretary of the interior,
upon a showing of good faith by
the entryman, may further re-
duce the area required for cult
walton in individual cases. Last
| nights meeting was attended by
the secretary of the interior and
the bill as agreed upon by the
committee is expected to have
the support of the interior de-
partment and be approved by
the PRESIDENT Denver Republi-
can.
1t is conceded that the bill as
, it passed the house applies to all
iexisting homestead entries.
