The land subject to such entry must be chiefly valuable for grazing "and ;. raising'of for age crops; and mustnot contain merchantable timber , nor be susceptible of irrigation from any known source of water sup ply. The thought laying at the foundation,- of this legislation is . that it will reasonably require. 640 acres of this kind of land to sup port a family. - : " Persons who have already en tered land of this character may acquire additional acreage within 20 milts. The purchase of con tiguous grazing land may be at $1.25fpe'acrejby;those;who have title to less than 640 acres under the homestead law of the United States.
