Validating certain homestead entries.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That all pending homestead entries made in good faith prior to September first, nineteen hundred and eleven, under the provisions of the enlarged homestead laws, by persons who, before making such enlarged homestead entry, bad acquired title to a technical quarter section of land under the home-stead law, and therefore were not qualified to make an enlarged homestead entry, be, and the same are hereby, validated, if in all other respects regular, in all cases where the original homestead entry was for less than one hundred and sixty acres of land.
