Horace Downee, an old time friend of
O. FL. Taylor. of Yankton, and a promi-
nent central Iowa farmer. passed
through Yankton yesterday, enroute for
his home in lows, from Sphinx county,
where he has recently sold q large tract
of land which for two years he has owned
and farmed. Mr.. Downer has been busy
for some weeks past looking over Da-
kota generally and visiting nearly every
county and he gives this section the
credit of being the most productive and
most healthful of any section. With Mr..
Downer's friends in central Iowa such O
recommendation will have an effect and
Yankton county's population may be
enlarged in the near future by additions
from that section.
This years yield Of Russian thistles
within the city limits is larger and more
perfect in quality than that of any past
season. For several years past great
care has been exercised by the authori-
ties in securing an extensive and even
of thistle seed and in pro-
tecting the growth of the plant during
it's tender stage. The result is that, in
spite of several weeks without rain, tho
Russian thistle crop has not failed, as
many feared it would. While it has
happened in some instances hat the
plant has fallen before the scythe OF the
reaper before it had matured, the belief Is
expressed that enough are left to supply
the germs of a luxur1ant crop for another
season. In about q month the plants
will begin rolling around the streets on
windy days and the populace are asked
not to impede their progress. 1t is by
this process that the seeds are DIS
tributed.
