Day County's Rich Soil.

Day COunty's Rich Soil.
The officers 5of the Webster Land &
Loan company cannot speak too warmly
OF Day county's advantages. They say:
The outlook for Day county, Is very flatter-
ing indeed. The Webster Land and Loan COM
pany has broughtsirto this section eight or
ten families, good citizens and people of
means, who have come here to make perma-
nent homes. This class of peoplesis a great
er benefit to the country than are speculat-
ors, as they are the means of bringing the
farm lands up to high state of cultivation,
where resident owners depend on rents
and as rule their land is very poorly
farmed We are looking fora large immi-
grafton here this spring and summer, as the
farm lands are bound to double IN value An
the next six eight months. Now is the
time for actual settlers tofcome and take
advantage of the cheap lands
Did you ever stop and think that W'HAe
you have invested your hard earned wages IN
a copper, gold or silver mine or In Texas oil,
or any of the Wild cat schemes, that few
mantpuators Of Wall street. can get together
and ruin your home and deYour your life

lowing which speaks for itself;

The producing class has lost fortune,
which is incomprehensible. For example,

figured what great happiness that would
be divided among the 81, 593 happy and con-
tented families, settled the beautiful and
fertile lands of South Dakota.

Immense Increase in Values.
Mrs. c. S. Thorp Britton, Marshall
county, Sd, speaks gloWingly of Mar
shall county: 4..7z
have lived in this county for sixteen
years, during all of which time l have been
engaged in the loan and real estate business.
In this period / have seen a complete trans
formation alike, in the industries of the coun-
try,J the class of farmers and largely in the
climate itself.
.Shiftless, adventurous farmers have given
Place to- capable industrious men, Exclu-
sive wheat raising has changed to diversified
farming. Cattle, hogs and sheep have multi
piled q hundred fold, and even the elements
have .grcwn propitious. The rainfall for the
past three years has been amply sufficient
for all purposes s
= Marshall county possesses all the usual ad-
vantages Of theznortheastern part of the state
with the added advantage over its. neighbor-
ingacounties Of having. within its borders a
reservation Of $4,000 acres, formerly military,
now belonging to the state where grazing
land. can be LEASED for. a. nominal price
sour lands in this county have not advanced
in value in proportion to those around us from
the fact that eheretofore we have had very
poor railway service. A, daily through pas
senger train from Sioux City put on last
week now obyiates this and nightly throng
of land seekers from the south is unloaded at
this station. Land can yet be bought here
at prices that will appear twelve months
from now ridtculously cheap.
Familiar as: am with farms and farming
methods in the east, I freely predict great
future for South Dakota. Temporary reac-
tons may occur but the ultimate outcome can
be nothing less than an immense increase in
values. p III.
