visit to the district in which one
wishes to take out land.
each applicant is required to swear
that he is well acquainted with the
character of the land described in
his application and the only way that
he can assure himself that prior
settlers have no claim is to make a
personal inspection of same.
"An ex-service man is required to
establish residence on the land In
volved after his entry is allowed, I'M
less an extension Of time is granted
on account of sickness, climatic
reasons or similar excuses. Credit is
given for service in the Army, Navy
| or Marines, providing the applicant
has had eighteen months of service. II
such is the case, the applicant is re-
quired to live on the land only seven
months. If he obtains so much credit
for military service that there is re-
| quired only one years residence, he
must prove only such amount OF
cultivation as will prove his good faith
as a homestead claimant. If his
credit for service requires more than
one years residence, he must show
cultivation to the extent of one-six
