This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land Reclamation Policies in the United States Land reclamation, strictly speaking, includes the bringing into cultivation of all types of unused land, but the term has come to be limited in common practice to the construction of canals and other works necessary to protection from overflow or the removing of sur plus water from wet lands, or to supplying water to dry lands. In popular usage, land provided with these works is reclaimed, although no steps toward putting into cultivation have been taken. Without regard to the correctness of this use of the word, the lands referred to do form a separate category, and their reclamation in volves problems peculiar to this class. Their reclamation is beyond the powers of the owner of a single farm and requires community or corporate action of some kind; and this reclamation must take place in advance of settlement, involving the expenditure of large sums before the lands can be put to use. There are small areas of both wet and dry lands in which it is possible to reclaim single farms, but these areas are so limited that they may be disregarded. The other classes of land available for the expansion of our farm area - forest and cut-over land requiring clearing only, and open pasture and range land - do not possess these characteristics. These farms may be developed without previous preparation and inde pendently of each other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book General Reclamation Circular written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Reclamation Circular: Approved May 18, 1916, Laws and Regulations Relating to the Reclamation of Arid Lands by the United States Registers and receivers in their action on applications to make homestead entry under the provisions of this act will be governed by the records of their office and will note on all entries allowed hereunder the homestead number and date of the relinquished entry and the fact that the new entry is allowed subject to the provisions of section 10 of the act of August 13, 1914 (38 Stat., 686). 4. Entries are permitted under the act of February 18, 1911, as amended by section 10 of the act of August 13, 1914, upon the relinquishment of an entry made prior to June 25, 1910, and the right to enter such land is not limited to one or more entries or entry men. (Lena Hektner, 42 L. D., 462.) This act has no application where the cancellation of the entry made prior to June 25, 1910, was the result of a contest or of a relinquishment resulting from the same. (Fred V. Hook, 41 L. D., 67.) The act is also inapplicable in the case of lands withdrawn under the first form and has reference only to lands covered, by second-form withdrawals. (Annie G. Parker, 40 L. D., 406.) 5. Homestead entries of lands platted to farm units and covered by public notice are made practically in the same manner as the ordinary homestead entry, and registers and receivers will allow homestead applications for such lands, if found regular, and accompanied by a certificate of the project manager showing that water-right application has been filed and the proper water-right charges deposited. No application to make homestead entry of lands within a reclamation project and covered by public notice will be received unless accompanied by such certificate of the project manager. Where under the reclamation law lands within the reclamation project are subject to entry notwithstanding public notice covering said lands has not yet issued, such certificate of the project manager is not required, and in such cases the application, if otherwise regular, will be received and entry allowed. The register and receiver will immediately notify the project manager of each entry allowed, stating whether the entry was allowed with or without the certificate of the project manager above referred to. 6. Registers and receivers will indorse across the face of each homestead application, when allowed under the reclamation act, the following: "This entry allowed subject to the provisions of the act of June 17, 1902 (32 Stat., 388)," and will advise each entryman of the provisions of the act by furnishing him with a copy of this circular. 7. These entries are not subject to the commutation provisions of the homestead law, and on the determination by the Secretary of the Interior that the proposed irrigation project is practicable, the entries hitherto made and not conforming to an established farm unit may be reduced in area to the limit representing the acreage which, in the opinion of the Secretary, may be reasonably required for the support of a family upon the lands in question, and the lands within a project are platted to farm units representing such areas.

This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reclamation Program, 1948-54 The continental United States has a land area of about acres. More than half the area acres - is in 17 1 of the 22 States west of the Mississippi River. These 17 States comprise what is called the West, extending from the tier of States on the 100th meridian to the Pacific Ocean, and from Mexico to Canada, each an air line distance of nearly miles. The West has an infinitely varied terrain plains, plateaus, rolling hills, mountains, gorges and desert - but one predominant characteristic of climate: Dryness. There is a scarcity of rain and snow throughout most of the area. Except for an isolated section in the northwest corner along the Pacific coast there is generally not enough precipitation for growing crops and, in many sections, because the scant water supply has not been stored and made available for use, hardly enough for the maintenance of civilized life.

Patterson, chairman of the Georgia Reclamation Committee, stated that we must educate the public and the legislatures to the new conception of reclamation; that this proposed work does not mean the bringing into production of large areas of agricultural land, but of making contented, prosperous, organized rural communities. Dr. Burdette G. Lewis, chairman of the Florida Reclamation Committee, dis cussed the resolution, which was then adopted unanimously by the conference. Hon. Walter F. Lineberger, former Member of Congress, and consulting engineer, stated that he believed that it is fundamentally sound to extend the work of the Bureau of Reclamation to include the South; that he is heartily in favor of the great program outlined, adding that this is more than a proposition for te claiming land; it is a great social and eco nomic movement of the most vital benefit to our whole country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Reclamation Era, Vol. 17: January-December, 1926 The whole problem of land settlement and creating an agriculture which will appeal to people must be divested of exploitation. It is first, last, and all the time a human problem. The future of the family must not be measured in acres, nor in its value in dollars to others, but in its own well - being. Farm communities, as contrasted with scattered farms, are so advantageous from every economic, scientific, and social standpoint that it seems queer we should even think of trying to settle land under any other method.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of the United States Reclamation Service: Edition of 1913 The results Of the second conference of reclamation engineers were published in Water Supply and Irrigation Paper No. 146. These related to the meeting at El Paso, Texas, November 14-18, 1904, and adjournment to Washington, D. C., January 9-14, 1905. The results of later conferences were embodied in typewritten or other reports not printed. Previous to 1907, the then Chief Engineer brought together for suggestion and guidance all of the earlier material and also manuals available from various bureaus of the Government, from State surveys, and from other organizations. Particular attention was given to the material obtained from the Corps of Engineers, United States Army. The various instructions and orders were studied with reference to their applicability to the' work in hand. It was found, however, after prolonged study of these that most of them were based upon special statutes or upon conditions such that they could not be used as a basis for instructions in the Reclamation Service, or at least without radical changes.
