Would Exempt Them From
Cancellation; Introduces a
Bill in Congress.

Washington. D. c., July Ex-senator
Ashurst, of Arizona, has introduced
a bill to exempt from cancellation
and provide for patenting of desert
land entries reclaimed by dry farming
process. In a speech in the senate he
explained the measure, which, he said,
is of great interest to the people OF
his state and section.
Provisions of the Bill.
The bill provides that 30 desert
land entry heretofore made under
the public-land laws, for lands, shall
be Cancelled or in any wise impaired
because of any failure on the part Of
the entryman to make any annual or
final proof falling due upon any, such
entry prior to December 81, 1918; pro-
Vided, however, that patent shall be
permitted to issue to any desert-land
entry when the proofs disclose that
has fairly and in good faith been re-
claimed to agriculture or horticul-
turaI crops by the dry-farming pro-
cess"
There is no substantial reason,
said senator Ashurst, why this bill
should not become a law. It will en-
able those settlers who have made
desert entries to procure patent when
they shall have, in good faith, re
claimed to agricultural or hortlcul-
tural crops the land embraced within
their entry. The object of the law
authorizing desert land entries is the
reclamation of the land. For all prac-
teal purposes it should be of no con-
Germ as to the particular manner IN
which lands are reclaimed, so long as
they actually be reclaimed. 1t is IN
fair to subject the desert entryman
to procrustean bed of fixity, and in
effect to tell him, as the present law
does, that, no matter what success
he may achieve, no matter how bounti-
full be the crops he may grow upon his
land by dry-farming or other process,
he may obtain title by retaining the
lands by irrigation only.
Home Builders Should Have AdYant-
age.
1.-The character of the land always
varies, and the home builder should
be afforded every reasonable oppor-
tuniay to have the advantage of the
variations. Some tracts Of land are
