OFFICIAL PAPER OF STARK COUNTY
Saturday, March 20, 1884.
Volume Two.

With this issue the PRESS enters
upon it's second year. In IL first
issue we stated that we had como to
stay and do our part in helping to
build up a prosperous town and coun-
try. We leave II patrons to judge
of its work during the past year.
That the town has prospered during
that time none can deny and with it
the Press. During the year VIC have
increased our facilities by the addi.
ti @ of over $500 worth of new ma
terial. Thanking IL friends for
their liberal patronage in the past
and soliciting a continuance of the
same, We shall endeavor to repay
them by our efforts to make volume
two Of the Press an improvement
over the one just closed and ask their
kind cooperation in helping us do so.

Farmers Wanted Most.

To artisans who are tired of the
East and its business vicissitudes,
Dakota stretches out arms of well
come. And yet there is a word of
warning to he offered, or perhaps,
to speak more properly, u suggestion
or two to be made. What West Da-
kota needs is farmers. We need arti.
sans and business men too, but we
need farmers most. The men in
Philadelphia and other eastern cities
who want to cut loose from their
present associations and strike out
for the great West are not farmers.
The successful farmer is a man who
knows something about his business.
There is 10 doubt that a young man
who may have worked in a Pennsyl
v:..ia mill ever since he loft school.
would, if he came to the West Mis-.
souri, country and took a farm, he
successful if he displayed an ordinary
amount of common in the work.
He would, perhaps, have some
perience that might be a little rough,
but the fact remains that ten years
hence would find him rich compared
with what he would be if he stayed
in the Keystone state working for
wages. Then, too, many a middle
aged artisan was raised ON q farm.
He left the old homestead and struck
out for the city. thinking that there
he might be able to make a fortune.
Anyhow. he could see more of life.
TO such men. who are tired of the
vain show and glittering mirages Of
city life. Dakota offers free homes,
independence and halrjness.-Man

Winter In Dakota.

About scvcnty-four per cent. of the
annual rainfall in Dakota occurs dur
ing the spring and early summer, just
when most needed for the growth of
crops. Little or no rain falls during
the harvest time. In the fall there
is less rain than in spring or summer,
yet enough to make fall blowing easy.
In winter little moisture falls in any
form, the entire precipitation being
considerably less than one inch.
The result is that our roads are al
ways specially good in winter, in fact
they are seldom otherwise in Dakota,
and the entire territory is bathed in
an everlasting food of sunshine.
The wonderful amount Of sunshine,
of cloudless sky, day after day in
Dakota, during the winter time, is
something astonishing to the average
eastcrner who has been accustomed
to an overcast sky most of the time
during that season.. We continually
hear them expressing their astonisll-
ment at such being the fact.
The truth of the matter is that
Dakota has one Of tire finest and
plsasantest winter climates in the
world; bright, vigorous and healthful
Its atmosphere is dry and warm
The very worst seaso in Dakota oc-
cur from about the last of February
Nntil the first Of May, During this
eas of two months the spring rains
commence. While it is still cold
enough to form q wet, d~isagreeable
snow, which, together with the
March winds, make the coolest, damp.
est and only unpleasant portion OF
the year.
While this il all right from an agri
cultural standpoint. it is unfortunate
for our spring immigrants. They
commence coming to Dakota just
about this time. They have read all
winter. in Dakota papers and letters,
OF IL warm winter and sunshine
weather. and ind to their surprise, on
arriving, a really cold and disagree
able reception. Few. however, IL
u experience, have turned back FOL
these reasons, and we have yet t.
