SOUTH DAKOTA. 
The South Dakota Agricultural College, located at Brookings, in the 
eastern border of the State, began experiments in forest tree planting 
in 1889. When the Department made its first plantings at this station 
in 1896, permission was courteously given to use any data which the 
college plantations might supply, and also to underplant in the college 
plats. The kindness of the college was the more readily accepted by 
the writer because of his association with the institution from 1887 to 
1891, during which period he planned and personally superintended 
the planting experiments at the college. 
aTo be planted hereafter.
