NEW LAW IN AID OF SETTLE
MENT.
Act Of July II, 1914, Allows Aericul-
turaI Entry Of Large Areas With
drawn on Account Of Mineral De-
posits.

Large areas of public lands hereto
fore withheld from all forms of entry
because of the possible presence Of
mineral deposits are now open 10
agricultural settlement under a law
which went into effect July II, 1919.
Entry under the new act involves the
retention by the Government Of title
to certain specified minerals believed
to underlie the lands. This sort Of
agricultural entry Of coal land has
been allowed since June %, 1910, and
of oil land in Utah since August "a.
1912. The present law extends this
right Of nonmineral entry to all public
lands withdrawn, classified, or valu-
able for phosphate, nitrate, potash. oil,
gas, or asphaitic minerals. Any form
of nonmineral filing may be made
homestead, desert -land, timber and
stone, State selection, or any other
the Government reserving the mineral
deposits for which the lands are be-
lieved to be valuable and the right
to prospect for and mine them. L.
for example, man should make en-
try in one of the great phosphate
fields of Florida Idaho, Utah, Wyo-
ming, or Montana his patent would
give him the right to the surface and
to all minerals which might thereaf-
ter be found except phosphate. Or If
his homestead should be in one of the
oil fields of California, Wyoming
Utah, Colorado, or Louisiana, he
would receive patent to everything blu.
oil and gas. Before the Government
or its assignee comes on his land to
prospect for phosphate or for oil, the
entryTnan is secured against any dam
ages which he may sustain in the
course Of the prospecting or mining
1nasmuch as large Withdrawals of
mineral lands have been made in the
arid and semiarid Western States,
where entries may be made under the
enlarged Homestead acts the recent
law viii considerably extend the area
open to dry-farming homesteads.
MANY applications for the designation
Of hands as subject to enlarged home
stead entry have in the past been re-
.funaA hecRuse the lands were with

Director Of the Geological Survey. Ir
this connection the Director reiterates
a former statement to the effect that
no definite form of petition is re-
quired, and that there is no necessity
for employing the services Of an at
torney to draw up petitions. He sug-
gests however, that the following
rules be observed:
Each application should be limited
as far as possible to the specific tract
desired for entry and should contain
the applicants post -office address ana
a description. by sections, township,
and range, Of the applicants original
homestead entry and the date of this
entry, as well as description. also
by legal subdivisions of the land de-
sired for additional entry. Informa-
ton as to the possibility of irrigating
the land should also be furnished and
should include the distance and direc-
ton Of the nearest stream or existing
or proposed irrigation canal, the ele-
vation of the lowest point of the land
above such source Of water supply,
the depth at which water can be
reached by wells sunk on the land,
and all available information concern
ing attempts to obtain water by this
method. The general character Of
the land, both of the homesteader's
original entry (if he has made one)
and Of the land desired for additional
entry, should also be described. to aid
the Geological Survey in reaching a
decision as to its nonirrigability. Ii

quests that are pending. and the ap-

Canned Editorials Disc-edited.

il GkOT10 I11SDatcH3
The INDIANAPOLIS News has made a
most gracious Acknowledgements Of its
mistake IL charging the Kokomo Dis
patch with using what are termed
canned editorials.
The acknowledgment Is the more
noteW orthy because this big publice
ton could with Impunity have simply
ignored the situation and left us I'M
der q stigma with a vast number of
its readers.
-Bur ii chooses rather to do us JUS
tice and thereby enhances its reputa
ton for fairness.
The News is profoundly correct when
il observes that no newspaper Of what
soeVer~ political opinions, can serve
Us public when controlled or inspired
by ul,tside influences.
We have taken the liberty to repub-
lish the editorial acknowledgment Of
The Indianapolis News in another
column of this Issue.
We feel disposed to add that the
tendency revealed III some newspapers
10 print matter in the editorial col
umns which is not the expression of
that publications opinion, but used as
such. is at the bottom often of the de-
cline in the interest attached to edi-
torlal expression.
Now ana then some syndicate" Of
fers to sell us editorials on any cur
rent topic and we feel just about the
same as YOU would if man offered to
lend you his shoes TO save the expense
and trouble Of securing new ones.
