MAKING PROOF ON
320-ACRE CLAIMS
Entrymen Do Not Appear
To Understand Require
ments of Law
There enema to lis a nral mil-
uuderstaiiiiliiit atnuutf nulryuieu as to
lequtremeute iu makla U isl proof
under the act of Fatruaty 1'., IWJ,
gent-rally known as the 3'JO acre
bomeslesd law. In many Instances
an additional 100 acre homestead bas
been takan uudtr that law by an
sntrymau who made bis Brat entry
five years or mots ago. In almost
every proof that bas been aubmitted
to tbe Laud oflloe under the act of
Feb. 19, 19011. tbe entryman baa (ail
ad to oomoly with the requirement
aa to cultivation and also in re
mitting tba orousr amouot of fees.
It Is absolutely ueoesssry that an
amount of land equal to at leaat one
elgbtb of tba entire entry be placed
In cultivation during tbe aecond
year and one fourtb dorlog tbe
third, fourth and fifth years. Con
sequently In order to Drove uoat this
time an eotrymsn baring filed on
but 160 ores In 1905 and subsequently
mad a additional homestsad of 160
ore, would bava to have bad 10 acres
Id cultivation in ltf07 and 80 aores
In 1908, 1900, and J 9 10. Bboold .tbe
entryman bava failed to hsvs in
cultivation the required number of
aotes, then be can make proof on
hi original entry and Ola additional
proof whenever be bas compiled wltb
tbe above est forth requirements.
The fees required under tbe 100
acre homestead law are praotioally
double those under the 100 sore act,
being reckoned at 3 oar ceut on II.-')
per nore valuation, ileuoe on a 320
acre homestead tbe fee is 112 iu ad
dition to the testimony fee.
" After maklog five-year proof on
the original entry further residence
is not considered neoeasary, but
the area cultivated must meet tbe
requirements ot tha act when mak
ing proof on tbe additional entry.
Any portion cr all of the cultivated
area may ba included lu the original
entry, but it must be one-eighth of
tbe area of both entries for tbe
second year and one-fourth for the
remaining three years and op to tbe
tlm of making proof.
Fine Celery
Tbs finest flavored oelery that tbe
writer bas ever ba the pleasure ot
feasting opon was grown by John
Sllva upon bis homestead lu Warner
canyon. While the conditions under
wbioh the oelery was raised were
by no mean Ideal, yet It prove
beyond doubt that when soil oon
dltioos are favorable tbe toothsome
vegetable oan b grown to perfeotloo
lo Lake oounty. Mr. Sllva planted
only a email area tbi year, but next
season be will endeavor to raise
enough to supply tbe local market
from wbleb be will no doubt realize
handsomely.
