THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER That Nebraska Land. VOLUME XVIII. Mr Fottor. In accord with your request and the request of dozens of others from whom I have received letters, I and take some of my very busy time to try to further explain about that land to be homesteaded in Cherry county, Nebraska. As I said in the there her estate come under the Kakad act which was made a law in 1904 Mr. Kinkaid held that on account of the quality of the land in certain parts of the state of Nebraska and its very great distance from the markets. He believed the giving up of a section of land to each homesteader would be an inducement to many more people to become interested. A section, of course, is 640 acres, and from the way this land is being taken up in recent years proves his judgment was good. And you perhaps will also remember that after this act became a law many people who were large cattle raisers who had usurped and fenced thousands of acres of government land; that their fences were torn down by an order of the government and the land taken from them and opened up for settlement. This also brought millions of acres of land back into the hands the government which the people for many years were under the impression was owned by the cattle men and sheepers. Now it is a known fact that thousands of these men in the past have gotten independently rich off of their cattle and sheep and other products raised, However, in my judgment I would not advise any one to sell out their belongings and go to the country without first making a personal visit to decide for themselves as to the value and advantages of this country. Of course all new countries have their disadvantages as well as advantages, but, as I see the matter, your advantages far exceed your disadvantages. I do not feel that any parvice should go there unless they are able to provide themselves with a good team of mules or horses and a cow or two. While I have known men who have gone there without either or any money and have come out all right thus far; but of course that means unnecessary hardships A great many people have asked me as to the nature of the soil. The land is sandy and hilly but as far as I was able to see in this particular settlement it appeared to me that each 640 acres contains a sufficient amount of valley land for cultivating purposes for the use of any one. There are no trees in this country, so to speak. You might travel all day and not see a dozen trees of any shape or form. This and is not irrigable, but there seems to be plenty of water in the way of creeks, ponds, springs and lakes in which fishing, they say, is good. One of the drawbacks in the past has been a lack of rain, but in recent years as the country is becoming more settled, they are having more rain There is but a small portion of this land, but what can be used for grazing purposes, while the valley land grows hay for which you can always TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUAI 1941 g to sale at a trustee for some one asked me if the land for rented people only the arable it is for any American citizen and there are but a few Negro farmers anywhere in the many white children have come grown in this part of the country who never saw but a new colored people, and they were on the trains passing through. But as the state o. Nebraska is liberal toward the Negro I hope to see many good, honest and industrious ones help to colorize this part of the country. As the future of the Negro will surely depend largely at least upon his ability as a farmer. In the colored settlement that was fathered by Mr. William Walker, they already have a good church organization and a school taught by a colored girl from Topeka by the name of Mance. Her father has the pastorate of the A. M. E. church She is paid a salary of $40 per month The majority of the school board is colored. Rev. Mance has also taken up a claim and he writes favorably concerning the country. This country is thirty-five miles from the Burlington railroad and eighty miles from the Northwestern. Its county seat is Valentine, where the city is government land office, to which it you will write, they will gladly give you any further information you may wish to obtain about the land HOW TO GET THIS LAND. A homestead entry may be made by a presentation to the land office of the district in which the desired land is situated. (Valentine.) The application must be properly prepared on blank forms prescribed by law for that purpose and the applicant must prove that he or she is acting in good faith and dearest the land for a home which land will either be used for cultivating or grazing purposes or both, and not for the benefit of some other person or company. The residence and cultivation required by the homestead law means a continuous maintenance of an actual home on the land entered to the exclusion of a home elsewhere for a period of five years. No specified amount of improvements are to be made outside of a house and some little fencing; and the houses are not expensive as nearly everybody lives in sod houses. You will please now remember, as this perhaps will be the last time, for a while at least, that I will have time to write on these lands. That these lands are for all American citizens twenty-one years old. Married woman, or course, cannot take up claims while their husbands live but unmarried woman, and who s whose husbands are dead can. Now, in conclusion, I hope I have made this matter plain, as I have letters from different parts of the United States and Oklahoma. Mr. Editor, I declare I did not know that your paper had such a wide circulation in the United States and that the colored people are becoming so thoroughly awake as their real needs. I hope this paper that ever stands up for right, manhood, liberty and moral worth may You will be able to O. J. BURKHAM 1230 N. GARDEN Lancaster, Neb. PANICU ITEMS.
