    (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.
