The original homestead entries in South Dakota go back further than this table. which begins in 1863 with seventyfive homestead entries in South Dakota that year. The total number of original homestead entries in South Dakota is 62.400. and the number of acres taken up is 9.677.463. The Senator seems to have the impression that the emigration to Dakota in recent years has been composed of amateur cowboysmen without families. who went out to ranches to live in huts on the hills and ride bronchos. Let me show the Senator the number of homestead entries made in Dakota in 1884 in a single year. In Southern Dakota the number was 10.117.
