According to q late decision of the land
office no one who lis the proprietor OF
more than 100 acres OF land in any state
or territory shall acquire any right under
the homestead law. In other words the
owner Of more than 100 acres of land
acquired from any source, cannot make
homestead entry" Another decision,
though OF not 80 recent date, does not
appear to be generally known. A person
having lost. relinquished or comnuted

may make another homestead entry, but
be cannot commute the same. He must
reside upon the tract for Eve years to
acquire title.
