Excerpt from Instructions for Examinations: Agricultural Settlement, July 1, 1907It is the policy of the Forest Service to put the lands within National Forests to their 'best use. All lands which are of value for agriculture, except those necessary for administrative purposes, are for occupation and devel opment by home makers. Under the act of June 11, 1906, Which provides for the entry of agricultural lands within National Forests, settlers who will develop the tillable portions of the Forests and maintain permanent homes are welcomed. The Forest Service is anxious that there shall be as many permanent settlers as pos sible within the Forests, they will always get the benefit of any doubt, but the passage of valuable timberlands from the possession of the Government for speculative purposes under the guise of homesteads will not be tolerated.The present stage of agricultural development in the West is not a fair criterion by which to judge the ulti mate value of the lands for agricultural purposes. With increased knowledge of the science of agriculture and changed market conditions, the area of lands suitable for agricultural purposes is constantly increasing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
