large tracts of timber land in Butte

est reserve by executive proclamation.
The Cave Hills reserve is bounded on
the north by the state line between
North and South Dakota and is on the
headwaters of the Grand river. 1t
takes in about rs, 200 acres. The Slim
Blu II ties reserve is located south of the
Cave Hills reserve on the ~headwaters
of the Moreau and comprises about
125,000 acres. Most of the land is
heavily timbered and there are prac-
tically no settlers upon the land en-
braced in either of the reserves. 1t is
the purpose of the department to not
only preserve the timber already grow
ing but to plant trees and maintain a
heavy growth on these reserves which
will materially aid the government in
its irrigation enterprises.

Butte and Meade counties have been

South Dakota grows superior potatoes
is becoming generally known and the
demand is constantly on the increase
for this product of the state. With a
good market built up, there is more
profit in potatoes than almost any 9th

vantage of this fact. One man raised

the owner sells the class alone

other near White Lake. There is a
