New Desert Land Rules Limit Claims and Extend Second Entry
United States Land Offices report two new Congressional laws affecting desert lands. Prohibitions on assigning desert claims to corporations and associations aim to curb land frauds, while second entries are extended to those who lost prior filings, with conditions mirroring second homestead provisions. Extensions up to three years may be granted for delays in cultivation, and unsurveyed districts remain withdrawn, though prior compact filings of up to 320 acres retain a filing preference once a certified plot is filed.
