Is. How Applicants May Sc
lect Their Lands.-The Commis-
sioners appointed by the President
will list, classify and appraise each
quarter section (l60-acre tract)
separately, and applicants will be
required to enter them as listed,
as far as possible. No applicant
will be permitted to omit an un-
entered part Of a listed tract from
his entry and include therein a
part Of another and different listed
tract, but in cases where a listed
tract embraces less than a quarter
section it and a part Of any adj
jaoent listed tract may be embrac-
cd in the same filing. In cases
where an applicant desires to make
either an original or a second
homestead entry for less than 1eO
acres he may enter part of a list
edquarter section-and where a
part OF q quarter has been entered
The remaining part may be en-
braced in an entry with a part of
and adjacent listed quarter section.
Persons to whom numbers are

lion ct any time to inspect the
lands and. make their selections or
