Show C40 ACRE HOMESTEAD IS PLAN A Bill to Be Introduced at the Coming Com-ing Session of Congress Congressman Ed Taylor of Colorado Colo-rado has introduced a bill In congress which, if inacted, will be of immense benefit to the small stockmen. , It provides for the entry of 640-acre tracts as grazing homesteads. The bill is for the purpose of enabling en-abling farmers to take up large areas of foothill lands, broken country and regions where most of the territory is untillable but which has email districts dis-tricts where farming may be carried on. Mr. Taylor says that it will probably proba-bly receive the opposition of the large stockmen who resist the encroachment en-croachment upon their ranges but he said "that people are more important thaii cattle" and that he anticipate the passage of the bill. The areas taken up under this measure must first be designated as proper land for such entry by the secretary of the interior. |
