 Additional Entries.
 any homestead entryman of lands of the character described in the first section of the act, upon which final proof has not been made, may enter such other lands. subject to the pro visions of this act, contiguous to the former entry, which shall not, togeth- CT with the lands embraced in the original entry, exceed 320 acres. and that residence upon and cultivation of the original entry shall be accept ed as equivalent to residence upon and cultivation of the additional en- try.
 Final proofs must be made as in ordinary homestead cases, and in ad- dition to the showing required of or dinary homestead entrymen it must be shown that at least one-eighth of land embraced in each entry has been continuously cultivated to agricultur- al crops other than native grasses. beginning with the second year of the entry. and that at least one-fourth of the area embraced has been con tinuously cultivated to agricultural crops other than native grasses, be- ginning with the third years of the entry and continuing to date of final proof.
 Final proof submitted on an addi- tional entry must show that the area of such entry required by the act to be cultivated has been cultivated in accordance with such requirements, or that such part of the original en- try gs will, with the area cultivated in the additional entry, aggregate the required proportion of the combined entries, has been cultivated in the manner required by the act.
 Proof must be made on the origi nal entry within the statutory period of seven years from the date Of the entry. and if it cannot be shown at that time that the cultivation has been such as to satisfy the require meuts of the act as to both entries fl will be necessary to submit sup elemental proof on the additional en- try at the proper time. Bat proof should be made at the same time to cover both entries in all cases where the residence and cultivation are such as to meet the requirements Of l the act.
