is to be more extensively pursued on
the Black Hills national forest this
year than eve before. To date there
has been 5000 acres or one-ffth the
amount seeded in the whole United
States, reseeded in the Black Hills.
This work was commenced here in
1905 under Supervisor Bullock, now
United States marshal. and has been
quite successful, not only in the Black
Hills, but in other sections. Tracts
devasted by fire or insects have been
%replaned and new timber is growing
well. This spring at least 500 acres
in the vicinity of Dumont, i'm the
southern part Of this county, are to
be reseeded by Supervisor Kelleter
