Cultivation
Redefined
The Interior Department rein
forced its recent redefinition of
homestead cultivation require
ments, contained in an amend
ment of general regulations, gov
erning homestead entries (pub
lished May 3, 1963, in the Feder
al Register) by publishing an
amendment to the regulations
specifically applicable to Alaska
homesteads.
The Alaska regulation defines
required cultivation as “breaking
the soil, planting or seeding and
tillage for a crop other than na
tive grasses. It also must include
such acts and be done in such a
manner as to be reasonably cal
culated to produce profitable re
sults.’’
This language is new to the
Alaslon homestead regulation,
which did not previously include
this definition of cultivation re
quire m e nts. The regulation
change became effective with its
publication in the Federal Regis
ter on May 29.
