-"South of the middle of Iowa,

FROM vnE IRRIGATED EARN.

Mellette, S. D., July %, 1902
The barleys and ryes on the ex-
perimental plat on the Irrigation
company's farms, which were put
in by the seed company, are fully
matured, and correct estimate
of their relative adaptablllty to our
soil and climate can now be form
ed. Of barleys, the most impor-
tant varieties planted we're clliva-
lier, manshury, New Zealand,
Selezr's Prolific, New Barley No.
1000, and Black Hulless. For
years the seed company have been
getting manshury barley for seed
that was raised in the Dakotas.
hence the nanshury in the test
had somewhat of an advantage IN
that it was thoroughly acclima-
ted. But from the time of germ
ination New Barley No. l, 600 has
been in the lead. Manshury, how
ever, is close second. The other
varieties are good deal poorer
than the foregoing. The barleys
were not irrigated, and this is
immaterial, for by receiving only
the rainfall, every barley was
watered alike, and this would, If
anything, tend to make the test
more accurate. New barley No.
| 200 shows the effects of the hot
weather less than any other and
produced the largest yield. This,
then, would establish the fact
that New Barley No. 1000 is the
best variety for northwestern
farmers to raise, as it is the
heaviest yielder and withstands
dry weather the best Of any kind
1t might be stated in this connec'
ton that the barleys were al
planted on the same day, with
the same drill and by the same
man. They were planted side b,
side and the soil was the same

is not included in the estimates,
and this is one of the important
crops, while several other smaller
crops might be suggested to swell
the income from these farms.
The estimates given, however, it
may be noted, provide d sum
equal to S225 for every man, wo-
man and child in North Dakota
and S10O in South Dakota. The
industry of South Dakota, it may
be noted, is much more diversified
than that of North Dakota, and
that fact is not to be overlooked.
The figures given are simply on
the seven items of wheat, ryes bar
ley, corn, potatoes aud hay.
c. A. Pillsbury of Minneapolis,
an authority on wheat, awhile
ago placed the wheat crop IN the
three states at S14o, 100000 bush

three states therefore, is placed
at 13O,0O0,OOO bushels. AS to
prices, figured at terminal points,
Col. Rogers makes the following
estimates: Wheat, 70 cents; corn,
IS cents; oats, 80 cents; potatoes,
so cents; hay $3.50 to So per ton.
Taking these figures as basis
for calculation and we find that
the crops named will yield in cash
about like this:

North Dakota ......................... 47,5l5,s0O
South Dakota. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 30, 500

The hay crop in the aggregate
in the three states is next in value
to wheat, though oats exceed the
value of hay in both Minnesota
and North Dakota. It is South
Dakota that brings up the total
value of the hay crop, in which
state the handsome figures of S15,-
