yet upon the market. They had to
build no fences, fear no tresspass
laws, feed no cattle in winter. In
fact they were under no expense
practically but for the "round-ups"
when the calves wcrv branded or the
fat cattle were "cut out" and shipped
to eastern markets. These men
were in the stock business not
because these lands would not pro-
duce abundant crops of various agri-
cultural products, but because the
cattle business presented the easiest
and quickest way of making money.
When the pioneers came to Day
county they all went into raising
wheat, and for the very same reason
that the others went into the stock
raising business-it was the easiest
way to make money. For the first
few years wheat was the only crop.
In those years it could have just as
truthfully been said tina, DAY
county is a wheat raising county and
nothing else will grow there" The
assertion could have been proven by
-.
the Mitchell theory for none of the
farmers raised anything but wheat.
Conditions changed here. The
wheat crop was not SO good for a
few years and when the crop was
good the price was discouragingly
low. A few long headed farmers
went into mixed farming. They
were at first pointed to as SUR fail
ures by their wheat raising neigh
bors. The experiment was ucces
full and mixed farming experiments of
the few wise farmers of a few years
ago is now the general rule through
out the county and today there is
not a better producing county of
diversified crops than Day county
nor a more thrifty people than these
same people who at first believed
their only road to "easy street" lay
through the wheat market.
Il was the same way across the
river from Pierre regarding the cat
tie business. The old timers were
impressed with the idea that cattle
was the only thing to 60 into. All
new Corners had this argued to them
until they engaged in cattle the bus
mess. The range became over
stocked and it was harder for cattle
to rustic during the winters. They
had to travel SO far that cows got SO

forced the cattle men westward
The Mitchell Capital in the, same
article says: To-day one can drive
from Oacoma and Presho along the
stage road and never lose sight of a
barb wire fence; in fact on both
sides Of the road there is an almost
unbroken line of fence. The green,
gently undulating prairie is peck
marked with claim shanties and black
acres of ploughed land. There is
hardly a quarter not fled upon and
there are few sections on which some
breaking has not been done"
What did those 13,008 people file
homesteads on all that land fort TIC
60 into the cattle businessp Not by
any means, They were attracted to
those lands by the prospects usually
held out by a first class farming
country. They went there to engage
in mixed farming and make homes
for themselves and families. The
claim shacks, the wire fences and the
ploughing told about by the Mitchell
Capital shows that they have COM
menced operations in earnest. The
stock business in South Dakota as
far as the free range across the river
is concerned has been put out of
business by the ever increasing num-
bers of farmers.
1t is a little presumptious, to say
least, for Mitchell to contend that
those millions of acres are only good
for grazing purposes when over thir-
teen thousand people have fled their
bomesteads there and are following
their vocation of farming.
Are you going to take the word OF
the two or three writer's who are
employed by Mitchell to further her
selfish motives in a capital contest,
and who condemn as a barren waste
that entire section of the state where
South Dakota herself owns nearly
seven hundred thousand acres OF
land which she must place upon the
market some day, or are you going
to be guided by the action of these
thirteen thousand homesteaders who
are bearing evidence with claim
shacks, wire fences and ploughing
that that same land is the very best

thin that they died in the spring at
the time they should calf. Cows
were then abandoned and they
shipped steers in the spring from
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and
other places. The numbers grew
greater and the range was eaten of
shorter. The steers could not stand
the winters without having feed pro-
vided. OF course the pioneers had
said nothing would grow but cattle
They were up against it no matter
which way they turned. If they
could not raise anything to carry
the stock over the winters they were
out of business. If they put in the
crops and raised sufficient grain,
hay and fodder to carry their large
herds through the winters it meant
advent of the farmer and home
steader, the taking up of the free
range and they were out of business.
OF the two evils they chose the
lesser. They put in crops for feed
and raised an abundance. They
figured correctly, however. They
have proven that lands they had
decried 80 much against ara as pro-
ductive as any on earth. The story
Of their has gone abroad all
over the United States and the great
free range is being rapidly cut up
into 100 acre tracts and parcelled outs
as homesteads.
just to show how fast these lands
are being taken up let us refer to
that best OF authorities the United
States land offices doing business
for applicants for homesteads the
evidence there obtained even the
Mitchell supporters will not have the
temerity to question. The figures
from the land offices at Pierre,
Chamberlain and Rapid City, with
those from the western counties of
the aberdeen and Huron land dis
%tricts, show that since the first day
of January, 1902, and up to the first
of May, 1904, l3,0oS filings had
been made for lands in the central
and western parts of this state. The
Chamberlain Office shows the great
ert number with 4,616 filings. The
Pierre Office is second with 1886,
and Huron third with 2,077, all fled
in Hyde Faulk and Potter counties.

lands now open for settlement. We
ask you which of the two sources is
liable to give the most reliable and
unprejudiced information?
Mr.. Voter, it is up to you to
decide these questions in November.
The lands around Pierre are no
more grazing lands than the lands
at Fort Sisseton are fit for nothing
but grazing. The lands owned by
state at the old Sisseton agency have
beeu used for nothing but soldiers,
and since the fort was abandoned
have been leased to four or FIVE large
cattle outfits. What would you say
if you were told that these lands are
only fit for grazing?
The lands of the Rosebud reser-
walton, which are SOC to be thrown
open to settlement, join these same
lands, that Mitchell calls worthless.
on the south, and they have never
raised anything but Indians and
cattle, and yet there already about
two applicants for every quarter to
be thrown OPEN to settlement waiting
to file on this land. Those that fle
on the Rosebud lands will also be
compelled to pay four dollars and
fifty cents an acre in addition to the
regular fling fees. That does not
appear as though the people are
taking Mitchell's talk about their
worthlessness seriously.
The voters OF this state own seven
hundred thousand acres OF land
around Pierre and they have only one
state institution near this land and
this is the state capital at Pierre.
They are not going to be influenced
by any OF the arguments thus far
advanced by Mitchell to move that
institution away. They are not by
their votes going to lend color to
the SANDER Mitchell has heaped
upon the lands owned by them. II
is easy for the Mitchell people to
tell these stories about the country
west Of the river not developing but
the 13,008 homestead filings made
in two years up to May LIST, the FL
ings yet to be made at the Rosebud
and the filings being made daily will
give the lie to these stories 80 strong
by election day in November hal
even Mitchell will not believe them.
Vote for your own interest. Vote
for Pierre and to increase the value
of the lands of the state in which
you are a part owner.

THOSE GRAZING LANDS.

The principal argument of the
Mitchell people is that n capital
should be removed from Pierre
because that city is alleged by them
to be located in a section of South
Dakota which is fit only for the
stock business. We believe that the
land around Pierre is just as good
as the land around Mitchell or in
any other section of this or of any
other state.
The old timers here in Day county
can remember that when they came
here and located, that the majority
of people went through the section
of the county known as the "hills,"
and passed on to the valley, honestly
believing that the country in the
hills was not so good for agricul-
tural purposes As the land of the
~vallies. The hills were settled after
the land in the vallies was all taken.
A settler who had expressed an idea
of farming in these hills during the
early days would have heard the
same cry that Mitchell now uses in
regard to the lands across the river
from Pierre: "You can't raise any
thing in those hills, the land there
is fit only for grazing purposes"
Time has proven the fallacy of
this early belief in Day county.
There has neve been a crop failure
in these same hills. The lands that
were passed up by the first settlers
have in the passing years proven to
be the very best lands in this county
where all lands bring handsome
prices today and are considered the
best in the state.
Mitchell supporters say that the
lands adjacent to Pierre are tit only
grazing purposes, and as an alleged
argument point to the fact that the
lands 20 situated have been occupied
for years by men engaged solely in
stock raising business.
The stock men went across the
river and engaged in that business
because of the great inducements it
offered, and the great percentage OF
profit on the money invested. They
had the advantage of the vast num-
Der of acres of free range offered by
the unclaimed government lands
and the hundreds of thousands OF
acres of state lands that were not
