Huron, S. D., April 4.-Eight carloads OF

past three days. They come from Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri; some have To-
Gated on farms purchased last fall and winter.
and others are looking Tor homes.
Those bent on investments for speculative
purposes find no difficulty in being accom-
modated with what they are looking for. The
rush for farm lands has not doomed prices as
strongly as expected, and disposition ON
the part Of land dealers to keep figures mod
crate is attracting large numbers to this
locality.
The season is trifle backward, but the
present fine weather will put fields in splen-
did condition for seeding. The ground is un-
usually wet. the result of heavy rains in the
late fall and during January, followed with
numerous heavy downpours the past three
weeks. There is strong demand for farm
laborers at good wages =
