APPENDIX B 427 



homestead entry in the states named in Section 2259 

 of the Revised Statutes, but no person who has 

 made entry under this act shall be entitled to make 

 homestead entry under the provisions of said section, 

 and no entry under this act shall be commuted. 



Section 6 



That whenever the secretary of the interior shall 

 find that any tracts of land, in the state of Utah, 

 subject to entry under this act, do not have upon 

 them such a sufficient supply of water suitable for 

 domestic purposes as would make continuous resi- 

 dence upon the land possible, he may, in his discre- 

 tion, designate such tracts of land, not to exceed in 

 the aggregate 2,000,000 acres, and thereafter they 

 shall be subject to entry under this act without the 

 necessity of residence. Provided, that in such 

 event the entryman on any such entry shall cultivate 

 in good faith not less than one eighth of the entire 

 area of the entry during the second year, one fourth 

 during the third year, and one half during fourth 

 and fifth years after the date of such entry, and that 

 after entry, and until final proof, the entryman shall 

 reside within such distance of said land as will 

 enable him successfully to farm the same as required 

 by this section.
