In eastern South Dakota muchwheat
has already been sown and owing to
an abundance of moisture in the
ground is already beginning to make a
good showing. The extremely low
price of wheat has operated to mate
rally reduce the acreage of this cereal.
Flax, which has always commanded a
good price, will be sown in large guam
titles and, consequently, an average
yield will probably result in a reduced
price. The average of oats and barley
will be about he same as last year but
the acreage of corn will be considerably
increased. Hundreds of acres of land,
which has been impoverished by a sue
cession of crops of wheat or flax will be
planted to corn this year, summer fall
lowed or sown to clover and timothy.
In fact the judicious farmer in the
eastern part of this state is wisely en-
gaging more extensively in diversified
farming. The days of exclusive wheat
raising appear to have passed, and a
more rapid raising of mortgages will be
the result.
Dakota dirt is held in much better
repute than formerly. The price of
landlin this state appears to have in
creased rather than diminished during
the financial trouble. It is regarded as
. safe investment by eastern capitalists

satisfaction.

CATTLE AND SHEEP.

Cattle men who have been in this
portion of the west for a number of
years, gone through the many hard
ships in establishing themselves in q
small but profitable cattle raising bust
ness, making many improvements to
their ranches, expanding the profits of
several years therefor, very naturally
view the incoming of the sheep indus
try with a most jealous eye. They feel,
quite naturally, that they have a prior
right to the range that is almost I'M
bounded. After expanding years and
no small amount of money in establish
ing a ranch and range for cattle it is
not strange that they feel sensa-
tive about having new parties bring in
sheep, which destroys their range.
Yet Uncle Sans range is as free to
one as another. He provides for giving
away as much land as one cares to
farm, but the government land-the
range-is free for all. The STAR is a
friend to the cattle men-those who
have borne hardships to get a foot
hold in the cattle business. But we
are of the opinion that the range of
Fall River county is such that sheep
may be added without any detriment
to the cattle range. There is a vast
range that is nor especially adapted
to sheep than any other stock, and we
know of no a why those interest
ed in each of these enterprises cannot
get together and come to some s~atisfac-
tory agreement relative to a particular
division of the range in all localities
where there r sheep. AS all know,
cattle will not range where there are
sheep, and it is therefore absolutely
necessary that some agreement be ar
rived at over a division of the range or
cattle will be driven out. We should
not like to have the cattle go. Our cat
tie raisers are a good class of men, val
liable to the country in every way, and
we do not want to see their industry
injured. Sheep men herd their sheep
and can therefore easily keep them
within certain range, and as we under.
stand it, they will do fully as we'll ii
not better, upon the rougher portions
of the range. Cattle of course prefer
the smoother range. It therefore &C.
ours to us that some amicable settle.
ment regarding the distribution OF
range should be easily arrived at.
There is already an organization in
the interest of cattle men. Now let the
sheep men organize. Then with a com
mittee of three or five from each or.
%ganization to confer together regard.
ing the range in this county it seems to
us they can very easily avoid the least
friction of one industry with the
other.
Fall River county is adapted to both
industries, and is big enough and
broad enough for both. Hot Springs
as their trading center, wants both in.
dustries carried on to the fullest pos.
sible extent, and it is important to
every resident that there be no COL
tiict between cattle and sheep men
Let them get together and harmonic
their industries.

CONDITION OF THE
COUNTY,.

The STAR is favored with a copy of
the county auditors and ~treasurer's
detailed statement of the receipts and
disbursements of the county for the
quarter ending March 81, 1894. Ac-
cording to it we find the receipts for
the quarter in the t~reasurer's office
were s15,O81.19, and the disbursements
sl8,780.72. Balance on hand last quar-
ter, s25,237.O6. Balance on hand March
81, s21,537.4s, distributed as follows:
Cash items, s1,35s.55; First National
bank, s12,776.32; Merchants State bank.
s743.70; Minnekahta State bank, 1851;
Bank of Edgemont, ss7.91. AS per the
auditors statement. the assets and liza
bilities of the county are as follows,

than the liabilities. But it is bad to
observe that SO many taxes are unpaid.
