Enlarged Homesteads Designated

The following letter received from
the L. S. land Office at Gregory will
be of interest to a large number Of
Pioneer readers and especially to
those who had made application for
lands under the enlarged homestead
act. Some of these applications were
made year ago, and the land office
has just been notified that some 25O,-
600 acres in this county bave been
designated as subject to entry under
the enlarged homestead act. We
publish the letter in full as it will be
of general interest.

Mr.. Fred Kirch,
Wood, S. ID.
My Dear Kirch:-
take pleasure in informing you
that this office today received from
Washington list covering 100000
acres in Mellette county, in connec-
tion with the allowances Of petitions
for designation under the enlarged
law, we believe practically covering
all applications in your county, except
possibly few late ones.
April 10th has been fixed as the
date for dating notices of allowances
I'm this connection. but in view of the
great interest centered in this propo-
sition ! believed it was best to give
you prompt information in order that
publicity may be given the matter
and put an end to the long and tedi-
Gus waiting that has been the expert
ence of so many in this matter. Will
you not give the matter full publicity
in order that all concerned may re-
ceive early information that they
may be able to form their plans ac-
cordingly.
We will within few days try and
get out list of the serial numbers
involved, but we are short of help
and may be delayed. We believe,
however, that the petitions are al
lowed as applied for.
Very truly

A ProCIamation=-=B sHG ArbOr

The culture and growth of trees,
shrubs. flowers and all plant life is
both interesting and profitable. Out
OF the interest in aboriculture in its
various forms has grown the custom
Of devoting a particular day Of each
year to its promotion.
SO, also, the protection of song and
inSectiVOrOus birds is of interest and
practical value to all of us. While
we appreciate the charm Of the birds
and their minstrelsy, We are prone to
overlook their services in destroying
insects and small animals that prey
on farm crops, and too seldom take
thought for their preservation.
The cultivation Of trees is in har-
mony with the protection of bird life,
and the two should go hand in hand.
Trees and shrubbery attract birds and
encourage them to tarry and rear
their young in the shelter SD afforded.
On the other hand, birds are the
great destroyers of the enemies Of
tree and plant life.
To encourage the planting Of trees,
shrubs, plants and flowers, and the
protection and development of bird
life, !. Frank NJ. Byrne, Governor of
the State Of South Dakota, do hereby
! designate and proclaim Friday, the
l4th day Of April, 1916. to be ArbOr
and Bird Day. and urge the people Of
the state to observe the day by max
| ing it the occasion for nurturing a
sentiment in favor of tree and plant
culture and bird protection. and by
the actual planting of trees, shrubs,
vines and flowers about their homes,
along the highways and on the
grounds of school houses and Other
public buildings.
On farms and about country homes
where tree culture and bird protec-
tion can be most effective and OF
greatest interest-do | particularly
lCSOluiliCiib DuSif pIuiiohiS hiit DIib
protection, with view to enhancing
the beauty and comfort Of these
! homes.
call upon the schools and all edu-
cational institutions in the state to
observe the day in spirit and in fact
by such appropriate ceremonies and
exercises as will tittingly recognize
it's practical, historic and aesthetic
significance, and by actual planting
in convenient places.
Witness my hand and the Great
Seal Of the State Of South Da-
kota affixed hereto, this third
day Of March, 1916.

) for this position and he is receiving
much encouragement not Onl y from
the press and people OF the Rosebud
country but also from other sections
of the district, which comprises all
the west of the river country. While
we have not the pleasure of person
al acquaintance with Mr.. Patterson,
! from the best information we have
been able to get he is we'll qualified
for the responsible position and will
make strong candidate at the Novem
Der election if,he is nominated. He
was formerly assistant attorney of the
Interior Department at Washington,
D. c., and has been very successful
attorney since taking up his residence
in the Rosebud. There is no ques tion
but what the Rosebud will be back
