Congressman Carl Hayden is active
in the support of H. R. 1879 which
makes it lawful for any person quail
fed to make entry under the home

make stock raising homestead entry

required to make permanent i'm
provements upon such lands equal to

the foregoing provision entrymen
who have not made final proof may
enter upon an amount of contiguous
land, which together with his original
entry is not to exceed $40 acres.
