ssThegstate OF South Dakota is en-
joying q vertible boom. 1T is asboom
not organized BY land agents nor
spectators, but a boom that lis the re-
suit Of an intelligent appreciation of
that states wonderful resources.
Within the5last two years tn ma
stional banks OF South Dakota have
more than doubled, while bank de-
sposits OF all kinds haze uuadrupled.
TIE farm products have increased In
value every year for the last i've
years, and the state today is one OF
the most prosperous commemorative.
In the union.
Many people will be surprised when,
they real the statistics OF South Da-
kota. Iltt is not sOSvery long since the
Yery name Of dakota had q monrnful
sound. But the reasons for this state,
of things / easily understood Ii
theyarelooked Into. In the pioneer
days South Dakota attracted a class
OF people that often 70 to a new
country, namely, those who had failed.
In the older states. They went there.
With no capital and. what is worse
than thatstheysw went there with the
|shiftless habits and notions that make
them failures Ia theASolder settled
|sttatesso Of the union. They failed Is q
matter OF course, and came back
with direful tales OF the barrenness Of
the soil and the rigors OF the climate.
But among those pioneers there were
some sturdy and ambitious people.
They we're handicapped by lack OF
capital, but they had the stick-to-5
i~tiyeness that does not admit OF fail
nre, andstheY remained and succeed
ed. Gradually Others OF like tempera-
inlent and some me- OF means after
investigating the qualities Of the soil
and climate, began to make invest
ments and develop the country. DUR
ing the last five years the results OF
the labors put on the fields OF South
Dakota has been marvellous, and to-
day all those who have knowledge OF
the real facts are free to say the days
OF experiment for South Dakota are
over. That commonwealth has taken
her place among the Observation-Disclosures
states Of tile west, there to remain,
andto become more important as the
years go by.
The c0untiesof South Dakota Dor
dering on northwestern Iowa and
southern Minnesota possess a soil
and enjoy a climate that are indentl-
cal with the soil and climate OF south
western Minnesota and northwestern
Iowa. The only thing that held
them back and their. lands less yalua-
Bile than those OF Iowa was Door farm
ing. For years 1t vas customary in
that state to plow only 0nce In four or
five years. A single nan with a
single team attemptedgto farm q whole
section. The only preparation made
for a crop was to burn the stnbble.
The grain was then own and harrow
ed Id. If the soil had not been
wonderfully rich, b crops at all
would have been harvested. But
these methods have been done away
with, and with careful cultivation IN
acre Of land IN southeastern Dakota
will raise as much small grain or corn!
as an ere OF Iowa land.
Farther west the rainfall is not suf-
fcient for some crops, butit is yalu-I
