AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT.

AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTS
Some idea of the rapidity with which
the agricultural development of the
country is going forward may be OBJ
tanned from the report of the Com
missioner of the General Land Office,
which shows that during the fiscal
year ending the 30th of June last,
3,91O,2l2 acres of the public domain
were sold tor cash. OF this total,
3,699,S99 acres were agricultural
lands, 81, 064 mineral lands. 166, O55
desert lands, and 1874 coal lands.
During the preceding fiscal year the
cash sales of agricultural lands were
l 1887 ,G17 acres, and the increase in
this item alone was 2,1l2 ,282 acres.
Dakota leads OH the sale of agricul-
tural lands, with 698,091 acres, and
Louisiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Nebraska follow in the order indicat-
ed. The homestead entries of the
year were 6,347,729 acres, as COM
pared with POPS, 100 acres for the
previous year, and more than one
third of the homestcads taken up
were IN Dakota. Under the timber
culture act, sos, 797 acres were enter
ed, more than half of which was in
Dakota. Altogether, the land sold or
entered in Dakota during the year
amounted to more than four and a
half million acres, or about one-third
of the total amount disposed of. The
public lands of all kinds disposed of
during the year by sale, or under the
various land acts, amounted to 49,
$685. acres as compared with TO-
893,397 acres the previous year. The
development indicated by these figures
is stupendous.

The rapid spread of the prohibition

They do not know what to make of it

movements resting on moral and SEN

The reports from the west show that
the movement is assuming formida-

The people of Greenville, Ala, be-

gross will show you better than any
thing else, the state of parties in this
country and what are the real points
of difference. From 1916 down to
the present time they show what has

a great labor to do it, will not fail L
think, to see where his path lies. But
no one person in this world of ours
must expect anything like perfection
in any government, or in any party.
We can only wisely try to get the best
attainable things done, and must ex-
pect that the best party will fall short
of what it ought to be"
