Current Bulletins.

MINNESOTA; SOUTH Dakota; UNITED States

This article reports on the information published in three bulletins regarding the population trends of many states. In each of these three, materials have been collected from the federal and state censuses and presented in readily accessible form. In their analysis of population trends in Minnesota, R.W. Murchie and M.E. Jarchow emphasize particularly on the growth of the population as well as the national origins of the population in Minnesota. Emphasis also is laid on changes in interstate migration, rural-urban distribution, age and sex composition as they have developed during the history of the state. The release by the South Dakota State Planning Board summarizes the growth of the population in South Dakota and emphasizes changes in sex, nationality, age and occupational composition, as well as births and deaths. The bulletin on immigrants and their children in South Dakota, by John P. Johansen, presents in some detail the national origins of the immigrants who came to South Dakota between 1890 and 1930. It also reports on the effects of immigration upon the growth and composition of the population of the state.
