Land Office st Miles City. Mont, regarding the new 640 acre law: - I am in receipt of a letter from the , Director of the U. S. Greolog- iz.al Survey, in response to an in- „ quiry which I directed _pD him. regarding the designation of lands under the new 640 acre stock raising homestead act I include herein passages from his letter. and I request of you that you make this a news item, as it doubtless will inform a great many of your readers of the ati- tude of the Department upon these matters, which are of such importance to a great many of the residents of this land dis- trict. The' Director states (and it is very plainly given in the act) that all of the lands applied for must be designated under the provisions of the new act. Thuti, an entryman who has a 320 acre homestead entry, and makes an additional, must file petition for designation of both tracts. Res- idence must be maintained on the additional entry; no person is qualified to make an additional entry unless he has proved up on the original or can do,sti_within 6 months, providing thafthe ad- ditional entry is not contiguous to the original entry. The lands in both criginal and 'additional entries rfinet be desig- nated under the stock raising homestead act before an addi- tional entry can be made to an existing or former entry. Thus, all the lands must be classified as chiefly valuable for grazing and raising of forage crops. If a man now has an entry un- der the enlarged homestead act of 320 acres. and desires to make an additional entry of 320 acres under the act of Dec. 29, 1916, (the stockraising act) both his 42 29 enlarged homestead entry and 27 .7 his stock raising entry must be 7 -9 stock raising lands, as defined 14 -11 in the act and regulations. 64 -1 If, therefore, the enlarged 32 -10 homestead entry contains from 13 -16 160 to 300 acres of tillable land, 29 -16 which, while nonirrigabt, d is 13 -7 nevertheless capable of p uc- 20 6 ing crops of grains or other cer- p) -9 eals, it is ' my opinion that such 21 .8 an original entry cannot properly 19 _ 5 be recommended for designation zero. under the stockraising home- stead act. Persons who have original entries of that character are not entitled to make addi- tional entries under the act re- gardless of the character of the lands which they propose to in- clude in such additional entries.
