doubled since 1854, at which
time the following Is statement
of business done, which may seem
to be something enormous, but when the
fact that there are only two towns in Moody
county, and Flandreau the county seat, it
will appear clear to anyone conversant with
Western push and energy. There has been
$50, 600 bushels of wheat marketed here; H.
600 of oats; 1000 of barley: Is, 600 of flax and
careful estimate makes the average yield of
wheat to the acre 2515; oats 65]&; barley %:
flax 15 bushels per acre. There were 500 car
loads of grain forwarded last year, and 200
cars of lumber, and 100 cars of emgrant
goods received. There were 10000 pounds
of merchandise received, on which the mer-
chants paid $4,000 freight. The number of

1,042, and the amount received for them was
S11, 496.2S; postal notes issued, S1,593. The
above figures may seem astonishing to per-
sons not familiar with new towns, but Flan-
dreau is in the great Sioux valley, which is
not surpassed for fertility by any locality
