Good Crops in the Coded Lands.

A great deal of effort has been wasted
for several years by interested parties in
trying to show that that portion of South
Dakota west of tho Missouri River is not
fit for agriculture, but can only be oceu-

practical experience is worth more than all
theories to tho contrary. In Lyman and
Presho counties several thrashing ma
chimes arc busy taking care OF the wheat
crop for this year, and other sections of the

going as high as forty bushels to the acre,
and immense yields Of potatoes, many of
