Senator Paris Gibson of Montana,
in compnny with Guy E. Mitchell,
Secretary of The National Irrigation
Association, called upon the Presi­
dent to discuss the various measures
before Congress, affecting Montana,
Colorado and South Dakota, aud
allowing a homestead entrymau to
take up a square mile of land in­
stead of 160 acres.
Senator Gibson stated to the
President that he believed a 640
acre homestead policy was one of
the most dangerous and menacing
pieces of legislation wlnoh had been
v Vgested.
He said that it was
proposed to open up the rich west­
ern lands in these large tracts and
that it would result in the aggrega­
tion of great holdings, far worse
than anything of the kind which
had yet occurred.
No man can say at this tin-e, Sen­
ator Gibson declared, what are
purely irrodeemablo grazing lands,
and what are agricultural or
may shortly become agricultural
lands. Great tracts of country are
being cultivated today in small
farms, which ten years ago were
looked upon ns utterly worthless,
and the womb of the future certainly
continue even greater surprises.
Under our increasing knowledge of
conditions, improving methods of
agriculture and the constant dis­
covery and introduction by the De­
partment of Agriculture of arid
laud crops, we are making wonder­
ful progress, ,nd why, Senator
Gibson pleaded, should we check
this grett land producing develop­
ment by bringing upon our western
country the curse of further great
land holdings.
No man, he stated, can as success­
fully farm a square mile as he can
160 acres, and to give men 640 acres
would mean that in most cases they
would not try to farm it, they
would not straggle with the soil
and with new crops and succeed in
growing anything upon it; it would
simply support a few head of cattle
or a small band of sheep. , Senator
Gibson told the President that be
spoke from u thirty years’ residence
and an active and practical farm ex­
perience in Montana.
Mr. Mitchell added that the ob­
jection o f The National Irrigation
Association to the square mile home­
stead policy was that very large
areas of good agricultural land
where 160 acres were ample for a
home, would be included in the 640
acre homesteads and he supported
Senator Gibson’s contention that
with our present knowledge of
western lands, a proper and intelli­
gent classification is impossible. He
mentioned an instance coming under
his notice last summer embracing
some hundred thousand acres of
high table land in the Cherry Patch
Ridge, a day’s drive from Harlem,
Montana, where the land had been
grazed for 20 years, open to home­
stead ontrv, but with no thought of
of its being farming laud capable of
supporting families.
Last season
10 acres were planted to various
graius, flax, etc., and in spite of
very late planting and an exception­
ally poor year, excellent yields were
produced without irrigation, an ut­
ter astonishment to the people of
Harlem, and now the country is be­
ing settled up with the assuranse of
a large and prosperous farming com­
munity.
