Secretary of Interior Designate ,
;too,ooo Art-en of 11x1 for K
try under Enlarged Art
Washington, D. C. Secretary of
the Interior Iane announces that
during September more than 1,300,
000 acres were designated under the
provisions of the enlarged homestead
net, through which an entryman may
acquire a homestead of 3 20 acres.
If a settler has already filed on 160
acres under the old homestead law,
he may, under this act, acquire an
additional 160 acres.
The lands made available for
these larger homesteads during tho
month have all been classified by the
Geological Survey as non-Irrigable,
but some of them have already been
patented, entered, or at least filed
on. Many applicants, by complying
with the regulations of the Interior
department, have already obtained a
preference right to file on this land
as a result of applications, or peti
tions, for the opening of specific
tracts of land under the enlarged
homestead act. To determine) what
particular lands In any land district
are vacant and subject to entry nec
essitates ait examination of the rec
ords of the local land office.
In California, more than half a
million acres, distributed through
twenty-four counties of tho state,
were designated. The greater por
tion of the lands affected are at pres
ent included In entries and are there
fore not available for entry by new
settlers. Some vacant lands proba
bly remain in llu following counties
where general designalious were
made: Monterey county, 174,000
acres: Lessen county, 60,000 acres;
San Benito county, 52.500 acres; Mo
doc county, 43,000 acres; Santa Cla
ra county. 35,000 acres; Merced
county, 31,000 acres.
In Colorado, more than 84,000
acres were designated in eight coun
ties of the state, the greater portion
In Bent and Prowers counties. Prac
tically all of the land Included in this
order, however. Is believed to be en
tered or patented.
In Idaho, about 1.600 acres were
designated under sections 1 to 5 of
the act, sometimes referred to as the
general provisions, which require
residence on the land. This order of
designation included only such lands
as were specifically requested so that
none of the area Involved Is open to
entry.
In Montana, about 26.500 acres
were designated In thirteen counties.
Very little of this area Is available
for new settlors, however, as prac
tically all of the land classified is al
ready entered.
In New Mexico, only KO acre vf"
designated. This tract wan located
In Bernalillo county and wan request
ed by a present homesteader.
In North Dakota, more than 215,
C00 acres were designated In nine
teen counties of the central and
western parts of the state. While
the greater portion of this land is
now entered, it is believed that some
of the areas designated In the fol
lowing counties are available for
new settlers: Adams county, 85,700
acres; Mercer county. 35,800 acres;
Morton county, 31,300 acres; Ward
county, 23,000 acres.
In South Dakota, approximately
66.000 acres were designated In
fourteen counties of the central and
western- parts of the state. With the
exception of about 20,000 acres des
ignated in Tripp county, practically
nil of the land Included In this des
ignation is at present entered or pat
ented. In Utah, more than 356,600 acres
were designated, of which 7,100
acres were included under section 6
of the enlarged homestead act, which
does not require residence on the
land. As but a limited area is al
lowed to be designated under this
provision of the act, only the lands
Prohibition Prohibits
Wonderful discovery made by the
Nebraska Prosperity League
For several months we have been told through the publicity bureau of this organiza
tion that prohibition did not prohibit, and alleged conditions in Kansas, Iowa and Maine
were pointed out to us in proof of their contentions.
In a recent ad, they made this statement in defense of their Home-Rule doctrine:
"Where there is a dominant local public sentiment in support of that (no
license) policy, it is possible to make the no-license policy respected and obeyed."
No one knows better than the liquor forces themselves that Prohibition DOES prohib
it; that is their reason for spending millions of dollars to keep seven states from entering the
dry column this full.
Home Rule sounds well, and looks fair until we search below the surface and see how
Omaha, wide open in booze, vice and crime, furnishes 35 per cent of the state's derelicts, and
pays 1(1 per cent of the taxes supporting them.
YOU pay the balance, as well :R your own share.

words, 97 men out of every 100 fail to leave an estate of more than $1,000, and
more than 90 out of 100 leave no estate or Icrh than $300. These figure, arc

U. S. IS REGULATING
POTATO IMPORTATIONS
Irfwul ( rowers to Iteceive Two-fold
Iteneflt ax lU-Milt of Action of
Federal Authorities
There will undoubtedly be u hea
vy demand for American-grown po
tatoes this winter and, as a result,
for Box Butte county potatoes, for
the Importation of potatoes froi i
Great Britain, including Kngland,
Scotland, Ireland and Wales; Ger
many; Austria Hungary; Newfound
land, and the islands of St. Pierre
and Miquelon, is prohibited by quar
antine on account of the presence Pi
those countries and islands of a ser
ious plant (lled.se known as potato
wart or black scab.
The office of Information, United
States department of agriculture,
has issued a statement for the bene
fit of those who contemplate import
ing potatoes from foreign countries
Into the United States informing
them that they should give consider
ation to the regulations regarding
entry of pota'oeB to prevent the in
troduction aud establishment of in
jurious potato diseases and insect
pests.
It is believed by some that as a re
sult of tin- 'iuarantine and the
spreading of the information that a
desirable eiien will be felt on the
American pointo market. In the
first place, some say, the quarantin
ing of foreign raised potatoes will
cause a gren. '. demand for the home
grown variety and consequently will
mean better prices for the grower
and commission man, while In the
second place the quarantine will
keep out the disease and pests and
thus be the means of securing the
grower fro mloss from this cause.
The following countries, in which
this disease is not known to occur
and which have complied with the
regulations of the United States re
quiring examination and certification
prior to shipment, have the privilege
of exporting potatoes to this coun
try, namely, Denmark. Belgium, Hol
land, Bermuda, Cuba and the Do
minion of Canada.
Provision also is made in the reg
ulations that in the case of foreign
countries contiguous to the United
States the examination and certifica
tion prior to shipment of potatoes of
fered for export will be wulved when
such countries agree to offer for ex
port to the United Slates only pota
toes free from Injurious potato dis
eases and insect pests. The Domin
ion of Canada has taken advantage
of this provision.
Potatoes can be imported only un
der penult Issued by the federal Hor
ticultural Board, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
Permits are issued to the importers
In the United States, and not to the
foreign shippers. It is the duty of
the permittee to notify the foreign
shipper of the number of the permit.
In requesting u permit the applicant
is required to give the quantity of
poti toes which it Is desired to im
port, the probable date of shipment,
the name and address of the export
er, the country und locality where
grown, the port of departure, and
the port of entry (where the pota
toes are cleared from customs and
the duty paid). A separate permit
is required for each foreign sbipia-r.
All permits expire on the thirtieth
dav of June next after they become
valid.
No shipment of potatoes will be
permitted entry until it has been ex
amined by an inspector of the De
partment of Agriculture and found
or believed to be free from the pota
to wart aud other injurious potato
diseases and lnsct pests. While a
n eligible percentage of tubers in
fected with such common diseases us
Bcab, black leg, fusarlum wilt and
dry rot will not operate against the
entry of shipments of potatoes, the
presence of a considerable number of
diseased tubers will cause a ship
ment to b refused entry, hence, all
potatoes affected by any of these dis-
leass should be eliminated and only
clean and disease-free potatoes ship
' ped. The expense connoted with
i tho Inspection of potatoes, which is
'. borne by the Department of Agricul
j lure, Is considerable, and makes it
' necessary to limit the ports of entry.
1 At the present time permits ure ia
i aud only for the following ports:
Seattle, Wash.; Portland, Ore.; San
, Francisco, Calif.; Minneapolis. Minn.
Detroit and Port Huron, Mich.; Phil
adelphia, Pa.; New York. N. Y.; and
Boston, Mass. For the present,
therefore, all potatoes entering Hie
United tSates from Canada must be
forwarded in bond to one of the
ports named for inspection. It may
be f(und possible later to designate
additional ports of entry.
Copies of the regulations govern
ing the importation of potatoes into
the United States and any informa
tion relating thereto may be obtain

Board, U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, Washington, D. C.
