Lands in Alabama that the Secretary of the Interior classified as agricultural under a 1906 law can be claimed through homestead entry. This section relies on that earlier reclassification to open the land for settlers.

Under a 1906 law, chapter 1347, section 1 of the Thirty-fourth Statutes, page 88, the Secretary of the Interior reclassified some public lands in Alabama, marking certain ones as agricultural. Any land marked "agricultural" in that reclassification can be claimed through homestead entry, meaning settlers can file to acquire it as farmland.
