Second year, break five acres and cultivate in crop first year's
breaking.
Third year, set out trees in first five acres broken and crop second
five acres.
Fourth year, set out trees in latest five acres broken.
N. B.--Seed or cuttings can be put in in place of trees.
If the timber entry be but 80 acres, one-half the quantity before given
is planted; if 40 acres, one-fourth.
5. _Proof required._--Affidavit of party, and testimony of two

6. _Cost of entry._--Fourteen dollars for any entry, without regard to

A man making a Homestead entry, is also entitled to make a
Timber-culture entry. This would give him, outside of the ten miles
railroad grant, half a section of land; a son or daughter, twenty-one
years of age, can also enter under the Homestead and Timber-claim acts,
half a section; and thus one family can secure a whole section of land.
