IOWA AND DAKOTA
Farm Prices to Be Develed-History
Repeating Itself.

Iowa is one of the great states of the
union. Her people are wealthy, we'll edu-
Gated and shrewd. Agriculture is her
chief pursuit. and 1T has been made to
pay. The time is comparatively short
since the state was practically ,undevel-
oped. A few years ago farm lands sold
at $40 and SIS an acre. To-day they sell
for SIS an q ere upward. 20 ~ y
South Dakota stands now where Iowa
stood a short time ago, continues the
Aberdeen News. Climatic conditions are
the same, except that here the falls and
winters are more agreeable. The soil is
not much different, except that in South
Dakota there is no waste land east of the
Missouri river the toughest of 1t being
good for pasture. The products Of the
farms are the same-horses, cattle, wheat,
corn, butter and cream.
At present a man may become farmer
in South Dakota. on 100 to $40 acres OF
land at one-fifth to one-tenth the cost
Of land in Iowa, and he can raise al
least as many dollars to the acre here as
there The; time must come. however
when this difference in the price Of farms
will be leveled. -.

LAKE COUNTY LANDS
A. 6. Schmidt Progressive Dealer
Crop Failures Unknown.

South Dakota offers exceptional advan-
tages to the farmer and homeseeker and
nowhere are conditions more desirable or
land values more reasonable than in Lake
county. Madison is the principal city and
county, and has a population of 5000. 1t
Is the seat Of the state normal school, has
a fine public educational system, churches
of all denominations and a splendid
system Of all necessary public utilities
1t is vastly ahead Of towns and cities
of corresponding size in the east and no
better homemaking spot can be found.
1t has several banks, the division head
quarters of the Milwaukee road and up
todate business houses carrying all lines.
A. G. Schmidt of Madison deals in Lake
county lands which are within 100 miles
Of the Sioux City stock market, making
the county and all the region around
about a banner stock section. There has
never been a crop failure in Lake county,
and. the man who invests and cultivates
will have no experiments to make or losses
to charge up to experience. Mr.. Schmidt
is a practical farmer as well as real
estate dealer. At his office in Madison
he offers fine list Of lands on easy terms
of payment.

8 Influences Prices Abroad.
Barley, Oats and Flax Important
Crops and Raised at Less Cost
Than Elsewhere.

The eastern farmer Who feels himself
cramped for room cannot do better than
sell his high-priced farm and invest in
South Dakota's rapidly advancing land.
The natural productions Of South Da-
kota embrace everything of real substan-
tial value belonging to the vegetable and
mineral kingdoms Of the western CONT
nent and the north temperate zone, from
golden grain to golden nuggets, and from
the grasses Of the prairie to the granite
of the cliffs. 81 ['''~"
Two-thirds of the people of South Da-
kota are engaged in some of the depart
ments or branches Of agriculture. In the
products Of the field. the garden and the
pasture, this state is destined to take
pre- eminent rank. Already her .produe"
tions have had marked influence upon
the comm cree Of the country the markets
Of the world South ,Dakota's wheat is
known everywhere, and the output here
influences prices in. Chicago, New York
and Liverpool. South Dakota flour is cele-
brated on both sides Of the Atlantic, and
is used in the households of Boston and
New Orleans as well as In those Of Lon
don, Berlin and Paris.
Grain-raising will, Of course, never be
abandoned in South Dakota, because the
conditions here favor the production Of
Four Staples.
The finest wheat in the world;
The heaviest oats in the world;
The brightest barley in the world;
The richest and oiliest flax in the world
Wheat is South Dakotas principal agrf-
cultural product, and doubtless will al
ways be her chief staple, owing to the
extremely favorable conditions which pre-:
vail for raising the best quality at the
| lowest possible costa bushel. The superb
quality of Dakota wheat is well estab:
| lished and very generally known. At the
worlds exposition in New Orleans, In
1886, Dakota was awarded first premium
| for wheat over. competitors from all the
| famous wheat-growing countries of the
world. Dakota hard zWheat-a grade by
| itself--usually commands higher. price
| q bushel than amy other wheat grown
| and yet it is raised at less cost here
| than In any other section of the country
| The cost Of producing a bushel of wheat
| in South Daokta ranges from "a to AZ
cents on farms indifferently titled.
T The report Of the bureau Of chemistry
| Of the United States department of agri'
| culture for 1884 contains the result Of ar
| analysis Of 2,759 specimens Of wheat
| among which were included samples from
every state Of the union and many for.
eign countries. The result Of this very
| valuable investigation establishes the I'M
| portant fact thatain ;dryness and richnes:
! in albuminoids, South Dakota wheat rank:
| the best Of any grown on American soil
and probably averages the best in thu
| world The average percentage of albu
| rninoids In the wheats of the all the United

state and territory. The average per-
centage4, of water in the Wheats of the
United States and Canada is 1916; the
average percentage Of water in South Da-
kota wheat Is but 1874, leading every COM
petitor in this respect in the United States
except West Virginia, whose average
is S.55. X
-.E.' The Most and Best. )
These experiments demonstrate two i'm
portant truths: First, that barrel Of
South Dakota wheat flour will make more
bread than the same quantity of wheat
raised in any other state Of territory in
the union; second, that bread made from
South Dakota flour contains more gluten
and other of the materials which nourish
and build up the human body than bread
made from flour Of any other kind. =
Other experiments prove that South Da-
kota flour made from No. hard wheat.
cured naturally, contains 8 per cent less
moisture than California flour made from
wheat dried In kilns, and will make prac-
t1cally more bread. AS compared with
common grades of eastern flour, the diff
ference In /bread-producing qualities
amounts to no less than fifteen pounds OF
bread in every hundred pounds of flou,
In favor of the South Dakota product.
%s3E - No Lack Of Fruit.

South Dakota farmer looked upon fruit

able undertaking, but has now turned
his attention In this direction. and now

A TOPNOTCHER
sanborn County on Easy Street
Baer & Brewster.

Sanborn county, S. D., raises all the
grains and grasses grown in Iowa and
middle western states. Its citizens are
becoming wealthy by the natural increa Sc
in the value of their holdings and by the
products which can be raised more cas-
lily and successfully than in any eastern
state. Sanborn has some bumper crops
this year and is building and improving as
never before. A better time to invest
will never come.
Baer & Brewster, of Woonsocket, the
county seat, are located in this rich re-
gion and are leading land dealers. They
show their lands free and sell on liberal
and advantageous terms. The man in
search of a home or an investment can
communicate and transact his business
with them with the full assurance that he
will be treated right and given value re-
ceiyed.
