liOVEItNOn YAQEll.
ure this is due to the fact that much laud Is either lipid in large tracts or is farmed lo eioi>s iliiit demand large acrea;;*'.
The laliorers on these iilaiitatioiis and elsewliere frequently live in bouses which tliey owu, but wbicb are liiiill on leased liiiid. Agricultural workers seldom own both house and land, and it is the exception rather than the rule when tliey do any fiirniing for them selves. They livi! lMr;;ely on food im¬ ported Into the islaml. iliiefly rlci; and beans and codfish.
The new homestead l:iw provides that the go^•ernment may sell to de- serviug laliorers tnnts of land for farmln.g jiuriioses nut lo exceed five acres each or tracts for dwelling pur¬ poses not to exceed ."Oil square meters, the laborers to haie from eleven to thirteen years to \):iy for the land, which is to be tax free until flnally paid for.
In order to be of ussistance to the most needy the law provides that no one muy become iin applicant who earns more thnn $50o m year or who is uot married or wbo does not bave a fainily to support. 'I'he law also iiro¬ vldes that for a periinl of seven years those taking the small farms must cul¬ tivate them uiider tlie supervision of the lioiiiestead commission.
So that tlie liomest(';iiler may become the ullimiite owner of lhe land fbe law provides that the luuiiestead may not be taken for debt ami It may not bo triiiisferre<l to another except under regulatious established by the commis sion. If a homesteailer dies bis heirs may assume the obliu'atiou of paying for the property and obliiln title to It when the lueporty hiis heen completely paid for.
The only oblleatiun which the home¬ steader takes upon liimself is thut within one yenr after he comes into possession of a five acre farm he must build a shack of a value of at least $."iO nnd have at least ouc-thinl of the land under cultivation within two years. From the third to the thirteenth year he must pay to the geivernment annu¬ ally a sum equal to lo per cent of the assessed value of the iiroperty. aud he must live upon It for .it least a period of flve years. In the I'veiit that these conditions are not compiled with, the property reverts to the government, to be again disposed Of by the homestead commission.
