TO HOMESTEADERS:-
The present homestead law, dated
June 6, 1912 REQUIRES CULTIVA-
TION. If you cannot cultivate any
of the land, or not enough to comply
with the law, you should make appli-
cation for a reduction of the required
area of cultivation, before making
proof. Blank forms will he furnished
on application to this office On all
entries made since June 9th, 1912,
Communication proof MUST show culti-
vation of 10 acres one season, and
three year proof MUST show cultiva-
tion of 10 acres the second year of the
entry, and 20 acres the third year and
EACH YEAR thereafter until proof,
UNLESS application for Reduction
has been filed and acted upon. AS
these applications have to be exam
ined by the Field Division be fore re-
port is made, it is advisable that they
be filed during the first year of the
entry, or as soon as possible. If your
proof does not show cultivation as
above. we have to reject it. An ap-
plication for Reduction may be filed
with the proof if you have advertised
to make proof, and need it, but this
office cannot pass on the application.
That is done by the General Land Of
flee after report is made by the Field

will save long delay later on. SO
many proofs are being received show
ing no cultivation that it is thought
best to call attention to it at once.
