THURSDAY October 25, 1906 WINS ON APPEAL Qenoral Land Office Renders Do ' clslon In Favor or Entryman. L. L. Nichols received notice pu Tuesday, that tho General iand Office had reversed the decision in the Contest case of a "Niuhols vs. G. R. Moorehead, involving a homestead entry on '.Ageiicj' PlninB. This contest was brought by Nichols on the ground that Moorehead was not complying with the law as to residence; that his occasional visits did not constitute a resi dence thereon; and that Moore head's family had never resided upon the homestead. A nuni ber of witnesses were intro-. duced by both contestant and defendant, when the case was heard here in Madras, and con siderable interest was mani fested in the matter. "When the case was heard in the local land office at The Dalles, a de cision was rendered in favor of the contestant, and from this decision Mr. Moorehead ap-J pealed. The notice to Miv Nichols indicates that the. Gen eral Land Office reversed the action of the local office, decid ing the case in favor of Moore head, but giving the contestant the right tc appeal from this decision. Nichols will appeal the case to the Secretary of the Interior whose decision in the case will be final. The decision which will be rendered by theSecietary of the Interior will be awaited with much interest by the settlers in this locality, as it 'will settle the oft-mooted question of what constitutes a residence upon a homestead, under the require ments of the General Land Office. Such residence as will be regarded as sufficient by the General Land Office to defeat a contest should certainly, by every process of reasoning, be sufficient upon which to make a good final proof. And yet, act ing under their instructions, the officials of the local land offices require an actual bona lide resi dence upon the land, and the Receiver's duplicate receipts is sued when a filing is' made specifically set forth that "oc casional visits to the land do not constitute a residence within ,the meaning of the law". In cases where the head of the , family is absent for aiir length of time, it must be shown that the family resided upon the land during these absences, or , some good excuse for the ab sence'of the family must be , shown. In the Moorehead case tho decision of the local land office was in line with their de cisions in the matter of final proofs, requiring a residence in , good faith upon the land. The .General Land Office reversed this decision and says the local land office erred. Tho only reasonable interpretation of such a ruling is that the local land office may permit a settler to hold his claim by a charac ter of residence under which he never could establish his title to the homestead on final proof. The decision of the Secretary of .tho Interior, the highest author ity pp this important question, tvill be awaited with interest. Thrco months . . . ... . . .... L. . .v ;.; . aP DRY FARMING aA the moisture is conserved in regions of deficient rainfall. Known as the Campbell system or dry Trees On The Farm. Concerning the value of shade and ornaniental trees upon the farm, Mr. II. W. Campbell says in hid Soil Culture Manunh "In our experience thus far, it is clear that in five years time ohe may grow lip shade and, ornamental trees, aa well as fruit trees to such an extent as to yield beauty, comfort and profit, which largely embody all the factors that are required to make the ideal farm home. Consider for a moment that the bleak prairie may be trans formed into ideal farm homes in the short space of five years. Nothing can add more to the wealth of the country and the value of our farm lands than such improvements created gen erally over oiir western prairies. We nave in mind an instance in the early settlement of east ern Nebraska, which was rela ted to ns by one of the parties concerned, that illustrates the love of the average man for trees. A man from Ohio with a reasonable amount of means had come to Nebraska to buy a farm. He was offered one with 1 good buildings and other im- piovements, excepting there was no orchard or shade trees.- The price asked was $15 per' acre, but he purchased the farm" adjoining, on which there werp no better buildings, and the land was of precisely the same character, but with an orchard of five a,cres and a liberal! amount of shade and ornamen tal trees around the buildings of! about eight years growth. The j purchaser paid just twice the price of the other farm invest ing as you observe, as much in the f ruit and shade trees as he paid for the land and all the otherimprovements. This may have been an extreme case, but it shows quite clearly how dominant is the love of all of us for 6uch adornments of the home as Nature gives us in beautiful trees. "Outside of the pleasure and real comfort to be derived from. numerous shade and ornamen tal trees, there is also much value in them in the protec tion of our fields and crops. It has long been asserted by scientists that the crowing of trees on the bare prairies will increase the rainfall. If there is any reliable evidence of this to be gathered by common bservation, we must admit there is truthfulness in this theory, lor in the eastern por tions of Nebraska and Kansas the statements of the older settlers verify it. "In the early, days, when the prairies of eastern Nebras ka and Kansas were as tree leas as is the extreme western portion of these states today, failure by drouth was not un common, while now, with al most every section of land bor dered and defined by trees, and with groves and woodlands everywhere, the reverse is quite true. The effect of the trees in lifting the hot south winds from the surface and carrying them over the growing crops is , perceptible; especially is this noted where there is a considerable growth of trees, and a crop planted on the north side of the grove. It should therefore go without fur ther argument that the plant ing of trees is important, even in the more humid portions of our country, but especially im portant and valuable in the semi- arid sections. . 1 "That trees can be grown in the semi-arid bolt by the simple Deep owing ana onauow Cultivation, bv which iarming, or scicnuuc sua culture. application of the "CnnipMl Methods", there is no furl her question. Evidence U now too conclusive for anyone to deny this assertion. Not only is this true, but with carolul attention trees may bo niado to grow as rapidly as in any section of tho feast or Middle West, and posi tive evidence of this may beet-n now on the PonWoy Model Farm. "The growth of 'trews in the orchard and those around the buildings is simply phonoininal. twill bo worth while for any one to Visit this farm next June though he may live hundreds of miles away. lie will find there a series of surprises in the re suits of scientific soil culture and on his return home will cul tivate his soil as it is cultivated there) being convinced, I am sure, that the principles advo cated in this pamphlet are the principles to be applied to soil culture in the semi-arid bolt."
