As an introduction it probably will not be amiss to give a' short description of that portion of South Dakota oast of the Missouri River as mostirof the work has been confined to that section of the state. The topography is flat to undulating, a few ranges of morainal hills having a rolling topography to break the monotony. Except for hand planted groves there are very few tr*»es except aij-cng soce of the streams and lakes. This timber is usually small and conn.-.a--.£i o:" some oaks and cottonwoods.
