    (a) It is the purpose of the statutes governing desert-land entries 
to encourage and promote the reclamation, by irrigation, of the arid and 
semiarid public lands of the Western States through individual effort 
and private capital, it being assumed that settlement and occupation 
will naturally follow when the lands have thus been rendered more 
productive and habitable.
