DAKOTA CROPS PROMISING.
More Corn Acreage Than Usual Will

Sioux Falls, S. D., April Favorable
weather during the next few days far
mers in all parts of the agricultural
portions Of the state will be at work in
their fields. In the case of farmers who
completed their blowing last fall. con-
siderable wheat seeding will be finished
within the next week. Notwithstand-
ing that the corn crop was very light
last season, due to the unusually late
frosts, in the fan, 1t is stated by those
in position to know that instead of
the corn acreage being decreased this
year much larger acreage than usual
will be devoted to corn.
The outlook for good crops in the
state generally couldn't be more favor
able than at this time. The ground is
in excellent condition, due to the heavy
rains last fall, the melting of the great
amount Of snow which fell during the
winter and the rain which already has
fallen this spring.
1t looks as If farmers who are COM
PEELED to depend on hired help this year
Will have to pay increased prices. Men
who will consent to work on farms at
from S25 to $50. per month, are said to
be very scarce, and in many paris of
the state farmers will have to pay more
than that in order to secure the men
necessary to properly care for their

found hung on the walls. Portions of
the walls and the ceiling were covered
with stamps Of every country, and some
Of them are Of great value, according to

LAZY MANS PARADISE.
IN the West Indies the Women Are

Men Loaf.

On market day in the West Indies
thousands Of peasant women and girls
can be seen walking along the roads to
the town from their palm-thatched huts
In the mountains and woods. They car
~ on their heads immense loads Of ba-
nanas, oranges, yams, plantsins, brown
sugar or tobacco, stepping along at the
rate Of four miles an hour with the gait
Of princess, says the Kansas City
Star.
Constant carrying Of heavy loads
gives them q splendid carriage. They
win walk 20 miles to market to sell 30
cents worth Of produce. Often they
could sell the same stun for a better
price at their homes, but they enjoy
the merry company on the road and
the fun and gossip Of the market place
too much to give up their weekly jaunt.
Most people think such a tramp hard
work. but they regard It as a picnic.

tracks. fording swift rivers, Juggling
