EDITOR REPoRTER:-This is a fine.
country and crops are looking fine corn
nearly. all planted aud some Of it large
enough to plow. Wheat and oats are a.
splendid prospect for crop. 1t has
been raining three days. Hundreds Of
acres of flax are being sown on new
breaking and promises good CROP
Much more new land would be turned
over but the breakers" are scarce.
Some are using steam to break with.
People who come here seem to like the,
country. Chas. Ensley, who used to live
in Leon or near there, was in town
today from Armour. Any person who,
has never been in this part of South
Dakota will be the most greatly sur
prised person imaginable if they will
visit Charles Mix county. Our soil is
as good as there is in either Iowa or
Illinois and will produce as good corn
and better wheat and oats than either
OF those states. The country is too new
yet to know what tame grasses will do
except blue grass and alfalfa which
both do we'll. People who. have alfalfa
sown cut it three times year. 1t will
only be short time until blue grass.
will be all over this country the same,
do IL ID III IOWd.
Our town is only four miles from old.
Fort Randall, which is an interesting
place. Most of fairgrounds are being
used for farming purposes now and last
year IS bushels of corn was raised
where 30 years ago the red man pitched
his ''tepee" and received his rations
from Uncle Sam. The old parade ground
with it's stately row of trees surround
ing. it is still there, carpeted with mat,
of blue grass. Nearly all of the build
ings are gone. But two of the fine
buildings, built for the officers in COM
mand of the fort, are still standing.
in good repair and occupied by the peo-
pie who own and cultivate the land on,
which they stand. Also stately
church is there yet which was built by
the government. 1t is now used by
fourishing l. o. o. r. lodge. 1t is built
of stone procured from the banks of the
river nearby. Also the inch artesian
well which the government put down 40
years ago is still doing business.
