What the Northern Part of This Great State Has to
H. Offer the Grain Grower and
IT. Stockman

The eastern press and many eastern
people are just beginning to get a true
Lincoln South Dakota. Some of them have
only recently "discovered" the country.
For half a dozen successive years South
Dakota has produced more new wealth
per capita than any other state. This and
kindred statements, which have been
shown to be true by government statistics,
have not made the impression in the east
that have the stories Of the easy divorce
laws and the cratic politics of the be-
whiskered populistic days. But all this
IS changing. Eastern papers are sending
out their correspondents and are making
certain "discoveries'' which have all along
been patent to the true weste1ner.
A correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald has recently dug up a lot of
news" in South Dakcta-news to many
eastern readers. He found for one thing
that $4,000 families are expected to set
tie in South Dakota this year. He saw
fresh new stories for his constituency at
almost every turn-stories of a wonderful
prosperity and development, growing
towns, modern conveniences and an up
ward trend generally that was very sur
prising. He says In part:
Deposits of the Common People.
The banks naturally show the growing
prosperity of the people of the state. On
Sept. Is Of each year all banks make a
sworn report of their finances. The de-
posits on that date last year amounted to
s30,415,341, an increase Of $109S4,5 55 over
the aggregate deposits the year before.
There is more significance in this state
ment than an outsider would imagine, as
South Dakota people keep large sums on
deposit in Chicago, New York, Mime
apois and Omaha; also, excepting the
.Homestake Mining company. no large cor
porations have headquarters in the state.
This company, however. keeps only
enough funds in the state to transact
current business. The more than thirty
millions. therefore. deposited in South Da-
kota banks represent the accounts of mer-
chants. lawyers. doctors, farmers, cattle
men and laborers. BY far. the largest
share belongs to the farmer, as on the

a.. All in the Corn Belt.
A strange thing about the development
of South Dakota is the seeming change
in the richness or fertility Of it's soil. The
first settlements were on the Missouri
river, near the Iowa and Nebraska Dor
ders, and it was doubted then whether the
country was good for anything but for
grazing cattle. Wheat was raised with
fair success, but corn did not thrive well
for a dozen years or more. The soil SEEM
ed to grow mellow and corn appeared to
become acclimated, for, where it was diff
tculty twenty years ago to get ten
bushels to the acre, fifty to eighty bushels
are now common.
Land was sold then at an average of
about IS an acre; it has a ready sale now
at from $50 to SIS. These changes caused
the population to crawl northward and
westward, and now the corn belt includes
all the state east of the Missouri river.
Rich In Ten Years.
Artesian wells are doing much to irri-
gate and enrich the soil and to keep live
stock in good condition.. Not their least
value, too. lies in the fact that their flow
has helped to form small ponds and lakes
all over the northwestern part of the
state. In one small section in Edmunds
county last fall more than thirty wells
were sunk. each having sufficient flow to
supply 5000 head of cattle. After all, the
best posted people now say that it is on
cattle and hogs that the state must de
pand for it's greatest wealth. They say
farming pays best only when live stock
are given close attention.
Mild winters and grass that cures into
nutritious hay give the cattle grazing al
most II winter. and genera 1lv thew come
out with good flesh in the spring: Cattle.
men are constantly met with who are
worth from 100000 to three times that
sum, all made in the last ten years. Some
cattlemen simply buy and fatten cattle by
giving them good grazing; the accumu-
lated weight nets large sums. One case
in point is that of 500 steers which gained
an average Of 1874 pounds each and nette6
a profit of about $4,000 on $4,000 invested

believe they may win as large fortunes
as did. the early Corners of Iowa.
In this part of Iowa instances are not
rare in which land that sold quarter OF
a century ago for $40 an acre now brings
$65. So the sons of these men who earned
this big advance are not buying high
priced neighboring land but they want to
do as their fathers did, SO they take
railroad and go west until the can find
$40 land.
1t is conservative to say that the aver
age price of improved Iowa land is now
pm excess of $50 an acre, and much of It
is as high as $40 or $50. Pioneers who
bought this land few decades ago were
|ridiculed as were the pilots of the prairie
schooners who journeyed fifteen or twenty
years ago TO South Dakota. Iowa was
more of a. wilderness then than North or
South Dakota is now, and invasion of the
state was termed idiocy by the conserva-
tive element. But the Iowa farmer has
now learned not to be conservative that
way. .-..., b a..'a =,
