NONREsIDENCE HOMESTEAD LAW

From Inquiries made recently in
the United States commissioners Of
fee, it is evident that many persons
have obtained a wrong idea Of the nom
residence clause of the homestead law.
This is not a new law, but is a part
of the enlarged homestead law, which
has been in effect for e four years.
II does not change the old provisions
Of the enlarged homestead law in any
way. II is intended to apply to land
on which no water can be obtained for
domestic use, and before the home
steader can get the benefit of this
clause. the land embraced in his home
stead entry must be classified by the
secretary of the interior under this
provision Of the law. Such classified
ton is brought about by petitiOning
the secretary of the interior and fur
Dishing afidavits showing that water
cannot be secured for domestic use.
II the land is classified, the home
steader is allowed TO live within TWEEN
ty miles of the claim, providing that
he lives on the claim during the crop
ping season, and harvesting seasons
Of the year and is personally engaged
in that work.
lnder TINS plan or the homestead
law, one-eighth of the land must be
cultivated the second year. o%ne-fourtf
the third year. and one-half the fourth
and fifth years.
The law in regard to taking add
tional hOmesteads is no different IN
der this section of the law than undel
be general provisions of the home
stead law. No person can take al
additional entry who has proved up
and no person can take an addition
al entry except for land which ad
joins his first homestead entry.
