The Discontinue of the "Rain Doctors"

Owing to the drought in the States west of
the Mississippi, contract was made with GER
tain gentlemen for the artificial production of
rain, and arrangements were made for the car
rying out of their proposed operations Early
this Spring circulars were issued by Kansas
rain company announcing that on May 20 they
would cause copious rains in various Counties
of South Dakota. They may have been able
to carry out the program, but they failed to
take into consideration one necessary condition
to success. They had to have dry weather. In
this the elements have been working against
their interest to an exasperating degree. They
proposed to furnish artificial irrigation from
the clouds for all the great Spring wheat belt
of South Dakota, through the heart of which
crosses the Chicago s. Northwestern Railroad.
The inhabitants of this fertile section would
have preferred this year to have engaged the
services of rain-stopper rather than ram
maker. There has not been a week since the
LIST of March through all this region without
abundant rainfall and the Chicago & North
western Railroad will not be asked to supply
excursion tickets to those DESTROYS of attending
the promised exhibition of super terranean can
nonadine The inhabitants of this prairie re-
zion have taken advantage of the wet Spring
for the wholesale transplanting of trees. The
local nurseries have been stripped of stock,
while hundreds of thousands of young hard
wood trees have been shipped in from the
East and set out with practically 10 loss.
There has been boom in farming lands,
which have advanced in price fully so per
cent. over sales OF two years ago. All the
cereal crops are in splendid condition, and
preparations are being made in various local
tiles for beginning the practical cultivation of
the sugar-beet.
The Chicago & Northwestern Railway is the
great highway in and out of this region.
