HOMESTEADERS CAN INTER
Pacific New* Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, D. C— The Pacific
Coast and Intermountain regions art
certain to be immeasureably benefit
ed by the enlarged grazing homestead
•aw Congress recently enacted and
itint has Just been signed by Presi
dent Wilson, according to the many
sponsors of the measure who point to
tin vast stretches of seml-arld, :ton
Irrlgable land that will, under the act,
become available for settlement.
"The entire western continent,
practically without exception, were
behind the measure," Representative
Raker, of California, who supported
H i- bill throughout, said today, “that
thousands of eastern people will be
drawn to the west because of the op
portunity this act affords, and will
settle on these lands which are affect
ed by the law, is beyond question.
This will result in a greatly increased
production on these lands which under
the old law were producing very little,
if anything.
"In the 15 Western states there
are approximately 100,000,000 acres of
arid, non-irrigable, non-timbered land.
In Alaska there are 370,000,000 acres
of such land. Of course, not all of
these areas will come under the act.
but quite a lurgi part of it will. As
1 the old law stood, most of this land
j would never have been used for any
purpose. The unit of entry was 30
1 small it would not sustain a family.
I Under the old law an entryinan could
' take Up only 160 acres, or at most
\ 320, that was worth anything for
; agricultural purposes. This law raises
j the unit from 320 to 610 acres, so that
' the little draws, ravines, and lowlands
may now be used for raising fodder,
! like cane, Kaffir corn, and other crops
! requiring little moisture, with which
to sustain animal life, and the liome
^ *p ader can use the poorer uplands
tli ! i in dry and arid for grazing
' l'.< lure a person can enter under
th'.i law the Interior Department must
flrd four things: First, that it is
el b fly valuable for grazing and rais
in.. f. r: i crops; second, it must not
centum merchantable timber; third,
i! is not suscelptible of irrigation
from . ny known water supply, snd
fouit!:, CP) acres will be required to
prop) rly sustain u family. This of
corn s r. ndera it a grazing proposi
tion. pm and Simple."
