[Bull. 165 



mend black locust for planting. Most plantations made in 

 Kansas have shared the fate of the one at Ogallah, and this 

 otherwise valuable species has been on the list of undesirable 

 trees. It is a pleasant task to note at Dodge City the first en- 

 couragement for the owners of black locust plantings, and go- 

 ing from Dodge City west and south we have seen a number of 

 plantings that confirm the opinion that black locust trees are 

 likely to prove of ultimate profit to the planter. At Dodge 

 City are a number of good trees, many still showing the effect 

 of the borer's ravages, which have for a number of years been 

 rapidly recovering from the injury, and are now strong, sturdy 

 trees. A number of these trees at Dodge City are nearly 

 thirty feet high and a foot in diameter at three feet from the 

 ground. 



In the city park at Anthony are a number of specially good 

 black locust trees. They have evidently outgrown any injury
