No fixed rule can be laid down as to what
constitutes satisfactory cultivation

Character of soil and season, age and kind
of trees, to be considered in passing upon
question of cultivation..

Though subsequent transplanting may be
required to secure the requisite growth such
fact does not warrant a finding of bad faith
or improper planting.

Trees should be protected from inroads of
cattle and horses.

Non-compliance with law not excused be-
cause the default resulted from the negli
gence of the entryman's agent

Plea of sickness will not excuse non-com-
pliance with law, if the claimant was in de.
fault at the time he was disabled for further
compliance with law

In entries made prior to the regulations
of June 27, 1887, the time occupied in pre-
paring the soil and planting the trees may
be computed as part of the statutory period
of cultivation

The instructions of July 16, 1889, with re-
spect to the rule to be observed in comput-
ing the period of cultivation, did not change
decisions that had become final or authorize
the General Land Office to modify said de-
cisions.
