District the Heart the Famous Where
Per Acre On Land Bearing This

Located in the extreme southeastern
corner of South Dakota, within easy
reach of the markets of the East and
West, as well as of the South, Yank-
ton, the county seat of Yankton coun-
ty, South Dakota, is enjoying a normal
prosperity and a. steady natural
growth toward theF greater size and
prosperity which VIII doubtless one
day be hers.
Prosperity shows on all sides, from
the We'll kept and handsome homes
which group about-tIle business Sec
ton of the city, to the business houses
and public buildings, and there are few
agricultural communities of a like age
and territory which can boast of a
better or more up-to-d date county seat
than Yankton.
The business blocks (many of them
Of a goodly size) are almost all of them
of brick and stone, and the view down
the well kept streets of the town pre-
sents substantially of aspect that
may well make the resident feel
pride in his home city.
There are jobbing interests, manu-
featuring interests, banking interests
and a host Of other business lines,
which combine to render the business
life Of Yankton active and prosperous,
and, located as it is. lin the heart of
one of the most fertile and productive
districts in the state, there is ne won
der that the bank statements (sure
barometers to "a community's prosper
ity1 show steady and satisfying
growth.
Perhaps a word as to the general
conditions in South Dakota may not

be an1iSs. There are 10000 square
miles in the state, and the population
is about 525,00O or about six to the
square mile. The sustaining power Of
the soil, as demonstrated by crop sta
tistlcs, is equal to the maintenance Of
fully fifty people to the square mile,
SO it is easily seen that there is room
for further settlement and immigra-
ton for some time to come.
There are no imitation of values in
the state. While it is estimated that
the true valuation Of the state is over
a billion of dollars, the assessed valu-
alton is but $211, 035,192. The state
taxes are by law limited to mills on
the dollar. and, generally speaking, the
state is conducted for less money, and
its inhabitants receive more in return
for the taxes paid than possibly any
other state in the Union.
The state is divided almost into
equal parts by the Missouri river, and
there is hardly waste acre of tab
solutely none in the eastern and south
eastern sections. The water from the
Missouri, together with that from a
multitude of smaller streams, provides
all necessary irrigation and water sup
ply. The soil Of the state is uniformly
fertile. 1t is rich black alluvial de-
post, OVERLAPPING yellow clay which
retains the moisture and yields it up
readily to the growing crops as they
need it. The appended table, prepared
by the State historical society, will
give an idea of the crops raised (and

fertile in certain mineral elements, lime
and gypsum being most noticeable. It
is part of that great expanse Of the
state commonly known as the upland,
and it is generally of a gentle, undu-
lating surface. This, according to sci
entists, is the very best character of
surface for diversified farming, and is
claimed by many Iowa settlers who
are to be found i'm all parts of the
county, that Bottineau county lands
are superior in fertility and product
iveness to the highest classed lands of
Iowa, despite the fact that the lands of
Bottineau cost but a fraction of the
money necessary for a similar pur-
chase in Iowa. Save that in some por-
tions of the county the land along the
streams is broken to slight degree,

The Fertile Valley of
That Revenue Towns of the

Bottineau county is growing rapidly.
There are, within it's limits, forty five
congressional townships, giving ample
room for settlement and diversity of
products. There lies, within it's boun-
daries, a portion of the famous Turtle
mountains, these in the northwestern
portion, While across its center, north
and south, courses the no less famous
valley of the Souris, or Mouse river.
There are many other pretty streams
tributary to the Mouse, among them
Willow creek, Oak. Boundary and Cut
Bank creeks. 1t viii thus be seen that
ample irrigation~is provided for all of
the land in the county. The land of
Bottineau county is quite as fertile as
that of the Red river valley, if, indeed,
1t be not more SO. 1t is certainly more

that can always be depended upon
The yield and quality cannot be sur
passed anywhere. Wheat, flax and
nillet are raised in great abundance,
and those who take to this class OF
farming are rewarded with splendid
yields.
Positively no place can be found
where vegetables of all kinds can be
raised with so little trouble as here.
II man puts in an acre of potatoes
and plows them the same as corn, with
little or no hoeing, he will be rewarded
with 200 or 800 bushels. In fact
everything that tends to make up the
vegetable kingdom can be successfully
raised.
Hard coal is principally used for
heating purposes, coming direct from
the docks in Duluth, and is laid down
here at same prices as in Iowa or Hill
nofs. Soft coal from Iowa and IIlf-
nois is sold at from $3.50 to Sc per
ton.
Many of the older settlers have cuI-
tivated groves which produce sufficient
fuel for summer use. Corncobs are
also utilized for fuel.
Diversified farming is not only at
tractive but profitable. Nowhere else
in the United States can be found a
country so well adapted to diversified
farming.
Heretofore the farmers have depend
ed upon native grasses for hay, which
is blue joint, but now that the country
is practically all under cultivation.

and in rare sections there may be
found a stony knoll, there is small
chance for mistake of a selection of
a quarter section-they are all we'll
worth the having.
The soil is of a drift formation, con-
tanning both mineral and vegetable
matter. and is in color from a gray
brown to deep black of the rich loan.
The subseil is Of clay, containing silica,
lime, potash, soda, phesphoric acid,
nitrogen and vegetable humts. 1t
holds moisture wonderfully well, Civ
ing it out to the crops as needed, and
the results, since the first settlement of
the county, have been prolific yields,
wherever proper methods of farming
are used.
The ground freezes to a depth of
