Claim Invalid.
FACTS
On June "a. 1850. notice of con-
test was personally served on the
above defendants. and Answers
thereto filed in the Land Office.
July 81, 1850. Since the question of
law and fact involved are precisely
similar, the above cases are being
considered jointly.
II SOiilSSldillS Among OLnGr
things, allege that the contestees
have W cultivated the land
since settlement was established in
the year 1912. The Answers admit
that cultivation so far extends
only to a kitchen garden and AYERS
that a settlement claim may con-
tinue indefinitely as against subse-
quent settlers.
OPINION
C~ontestees have attempted for
the past eight years to hold a set
Element claim of 100 acres without
any showing of cultivation as re-
quired by the homestead law.
1t has been held by the Depart
ment that cultivation of the land
embraced in homestead entry is es-
sential requisite to due compliance
with the homestead law NORTON
VS.. ACKLEY go L.D.561). This is
Seward seaport record. (Seward, Alaska) 1948-195?, 1950-09-15

likewise applicable to a settlement
claim on u~nsurveyed lands.
The Department in it's decision
of April %, 1918, in the case of
Stephenson VS.. Pashgian (42 LID.
113, 116) involving settlement claim
on unsurveyed lands, held that:
"The mere remaining on public
land without bona fide cutiva-
ton and reasonable diligent eff
fort in the way of Improvements
is not the maintenance of such a
settlement as the law contem-
plated shall reserve a tract from
other appropriation. A settler has
no more right, under the home
stead law, to segregate land from
the public domain, without COM
pliance with the requirements of
that law as to improvements and
cultivation than has a homestead
entryman; and where a claimant
appeals to The letter of the law
as against another claimant he
must himself stand or fall by the
letter of the statutes"
Therefore, ii is the opinion of the
Manager that the homestead set
Element claims of contenders is in
valid under the homestead law as
against any subsequent settlers.
This decision is without prejudice
to contestees, if qualified as to res

Mr.. Farmer stated thnt organi-
Zation Of CROP committees at the
county level, which is nov under
way in some states, will be more
intense than last year with the
three Parent Agencies represented
on the county level along the
pattern of the state CROP COM
mittees.
Completion of county organizat-
ion will signal the start of farm
to-farm solicitation of bulk gifts
in kind. While the CROP appeal
in some states will vary from early
June until late December, the in
dividual county appeal will be of
one weeks duration. The timing
of the local campaign will be de-
cided by the county CROP COM
mittee and will depend upon the
maturity of the major crop in each
respective area. There will be
more than one campaign in any
county during the calendar year.
Commodities sought in the
CROP appeal include wheat, corn,
milk, eggs, beans, soybeans, oats,
cotton, dried fruits, sugar, lard,
flour, rice, livestock, peas, wool
and peanuts.
Since CROPS inception in the
fall of l947, the relief organization
collected 3,555 railway cadloads of
donated farm products for ship
ment overseas.

suggests that homemakers heat
slices of luncheon loaf in a vege-
table gravy or barbecue sauce.
Or the loaf may be diced, added
to cream sauce and served over
Chinese noodles or toasted corn
bread. Luncheon loaf kabobs are
another clever serving. The cubes
are threaded on skewers with min
ute onions, green pepper squares,
stuffed olive halves and mush-

rolled in melted fat, then slowly

matches CAUSING
28To Of The Fires

Someone once said that "A
Match in a Monster with Head
but no Brain. Now comes w. t,
Holiday, Chairman of the Board
Standard Oil Company tOhio)
and General Chairman aof the
Ohio Fire Safety Committee. to
say that ''Ninety-fiye percent OF
all fires are the act of some in
dividual. Call it what ever you
like, carelessness or anything else,
it is costing in property and lives,
every factory, mercantile and
home owner in Ohio. This act can
be attributed to large extent to
the careless smoked and the ap-
athletic attitude of the man with
a MATCH" he added
Harry j. Callan, State Fire
Marshal said today, "Over .2S%d
of all fires in Ohio are caused
by the careless use of matches
and smoking" Many children are
burned to death or severely in
capacitated from the so-called
kitchen match" If the house
holder must use this type match,
they should be kept in metal
container out of the reach of
children. 1t is much better to use
safety matches, they cost very
little more and are much safer"
he concluded.
Be sure your cigarette and
match is out before you throw
them away.
When you leave your home for
an evening, or in the hustle OF
departing on your vacation, be
sure ash trays are emptied.
Don't go into your clothes closet
with a lighter match or cigarette.
Avoid smoking in bed, many
people are burned to death each
year from this practice.
IF these simple rules are fol-
lowed, each individual in Ohio
can help save his home, his place
of business and his job.
