Claim Invalid.
FACTS
On June 24. 1950, notice of con
test was personally served on the
above defendants, and Answers
thereto filed in the Land Office,
July 21, 1950. Since the question of
law and fact involved are precisely
similar, the above cases are being
considered jointly.
The contestants, among other
things, allege that the contestees
have never cultivated the land
since settlement was established in
tiie year 1942. The Answers admit
that ‘cultivation so far extends
only to a kitchen garden” and avers
that a settlement claim may con
tinue indefinitely as against subse
quent settlers.
OPINION
Contestees have attempted for
the past eight years to hold a set
tlement claim of 160 acres without
any showing of cultivation as re
quired by the homestead law.
It has been held by the Depart
ment that cultivation of the land
embraced in homestead entry is es
sential requisite to due compliance
with the homestead law NORTON
vs. ACKLEY (29 L.D.561). This is

likewise applicable to a settlement
claim on unsurveyed lands.
The Department in its decision
of April 28, 1913, in the case of
Stephenson vs. Pashgian (42 L.D.
113, 116) involving settlement claim
on unsurveyed lands, held that:
“The mere remaining on public
land without bona fide cutiva
tion and reasonable diligent ef
fort in the way of improvements
is not the maintenance of such a
settlement as the law contem
plated shall reserve a tract from
other appropriation. A settler has
no more right, under the home
stead law, to segregate land from
the public domain, without com
pliance with the requirements of
that law as to improvements and
cultivation than has a homestead
entryman: and where a claimant
appeals to the letter of the law
as against another claimant he
must himself stand or fall by the
letter of the statutes.”
Therefore, it is the opinion of the
Manager that the homestead set
tlement claims of contenders is in
valid under the homestead law as
apainst any subsequent settlers.
This decision is without prejudice
to contestees, if qualified as to res
