Hon. Scott Ferris. Chairman

House Of Representatives.
Sir; Referring to ~. u. 5637 and
u. n. e5s2. bills designed to modify
tho homestead laws as to public land
areas to which present laws are
deemed not well adapted. I have to
advise az follows:
The existing homestead laws OF the
United states show an evolution or
adaptation 10 conditions which devcl-
ored. or we're found 60 exist. as public
land settlement and entry progressed.
The general homestead laws carried
into sections 22S9-2e91 OF the Revised
Statutes, and under which the public
lands In the Mississippi valley and in
other portions OF the United States
where soil, rainfall and climate justi-
fed u. were entered. limited the max
imum area which might be entered
aud acquired TO 100 acres. In irr!ga-
lion projects constructed by the Unit
ed tsates under the provisions OF the
act 81 June ~, 1909 C32 stat, a3S),
the area which might be entered was
liked by the secretary OF the Interior
through the establishment OF farm
units, each supposed to be sufficient
for h support OF a family, and In no
case exceeding 160 acres. In other
sections OF the country. particularly
