Relief for homesteaders drought permits under new act
Montana land offices received orders enabling dry land farmers to leave their farms to seek work. Under the act introduced by Senator Henry L. Myers and approved by the president, homesteaders may file an affidavit with the land office to be excused from residence for 1919 or the current year. Absence counts as constructive residence for final proof. Applications may be received and actions suspended pending instructions.
