Chamberlain, s. d., April 1S.-The
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul. railway
has decided upon an extension Of it's
line from Chamberlain west thru Ly-
man county, opening up thereby a
region of cheap lands, rich in agricul-
tural resources, mild climate, produc-
tive soil, and in which there is already
much decided land, also large acreage
that may be had under the homestead
law.
Lyman county is in the southern part
of South Dakota, adjoining the Rose
bud Indian reservation on the north. It
is watered by the White river on the
south, the Missouri river on the east,
Medicine creek thru the center and
Bad river in the northwest, with a
large number of smaller streams tribu-
tary to these rivers. A notable fact is
the ease with which artesian wells may
be secured. Such wells have done much
toward retaining the great area of
South Dakota east and adjacent to the
Missouri river. Water may be had at
depths varying from six hundred feet
on the White river to thirteen hundred
feet on the higher lands. Surface wells
may be found almost anywhere, varying
in depths from twenty to sixty feet
The ease with which, water may be Sc.
cured for farms in this vast area of
practically untenanted lands, makes
them particularly attractive to persons
desiring cheap homes as well as fol
spectators.

a suit for damages resulting from

A man named Anterior had traded
horses with local liveryman, who was

Watertown, S. D., April 21.-Out here
in South Dakota, about two hundred and
forty miles west Of Minneapolis, is
located one Of the most progressive and
modern little cities that there is on the
map, possessing unexcelled railroad IA
cilities built up by energetic, wide
awake business men who have grasped
the solution Of concentrating their eff
forts in working together, and avoid
ing all differences and factions. In
travelling thru one Of the great future
touch with conditions that are bene-
fetal to the investor and homeseeker,
in ascertaining the desirable PROPOSE
lions that are offered for the safe in
vestment of capital, we find that this
little city in the 500 valley is progress
ing at very rapid pace, and is becom-
ing recognized among the older set
tied states as the outlet for the safe
investment, of. capital, and. the place
inducement for paying investments.
Watertown is particularly strong in her
railroad facilities, and the competition
of four big lines Of railroad has created
markets that offer the highest prices
and furnish advantageous shipping
facilities for manufactured products.
The business interests of Watertown
occupy an enviable and strong posi-
ton with all the great commercial and
financial connections they enjoy with
the great northwest. Her business men
are up-to-date, and thoroly alive to the
fact that they are operating in one of
the best sections Of the state, and are
always ready to extend every assistance
in bringing in a desirable class Of bust
ness enterprises. There is no better
evidence Of the popularity and standing
Of community than the way she is
talked about outside, and the reputa,
tion she enjoys for entertaining large
conventions and gatherings. As an
illustration Of the popularity Of Water:

Huron, s. D., April 1s.-John H. King
of this city, who is in the farm-loan
business, 1oaning only to actual farmers
in Beadle, Sphinx, Sanborn and the coun-
try west to the river, says that in farm
loan applications he is now receiving
there are from five to ten times as many
who make the applications as there were
four" years ago. The farmers of this
section Of the state are fast learning
that the hog and corn proposition is the
best money maker within their reach.
AN interesting fact which the govern
ment reports show is seen in statistics
on corn. The United States produces
1922, 100000 bushels while the entire
corn crop produced in the remainder
of the world including Europe, Asia,
Africa, South America, Mexico and Can
ada, is only s14,O00,000 bushels. Sd. ..
A Corn Producer.
Another interesting fact is that Iowa
produces about 30O,0OO,0O0 bushels Of
corn annually, or one-tenth of the corn
of the world, and that South Dakota is
getting close to Iowa on the general
average. It will not be many years be-
fore South Dakota will take it's place
as one of the great corn producing states
or the Union. Last year we produced,
according to the best estimates made,
about SO,00O,00O bushels Of corn and Of
this large yield Beadle county produced
nearly 100000 bushels. 49,
These statistics taken from the gov
eminent reports should convince any
one that if land selling at our low prices
will produce such crops 1t is below it's
true value and must certainly go higher.
Cattleraising in South Dakota can
properly be divided into two classes,
the exclusive cattleraiser and the farm
er who follows mixed farming, sending
his milk to the creamery and raising his
calves. In the former class are the
large cattlemen who have made or are
now accommodating fortunes in the bust
ness. They are side by side with the
small owner, and west of the Missouri
river their cattle mingle until the an
nual roundup, or the shipping season.
In such locality all owners are pro-
teeted fully by the brand of each own
er. It is exclusive property granted by
a state brand commission, and then it
is recorded. Losses are exceedingly
small and profits good.
1t is from this section that the choic-
est beef is produced without care or
feed, winter or summer, except as ma
ture has provided, the cattle grazing
all winter on the famous buffalo grass.
They are taken from feed and placed
on the fat stock market in competition
with the corn-fed article, and it is a
wonder, with SO little care and expense,

But it is the average man who is en-

smaller number of cattle who secures
the largest amount of profit on the

liable. All possible varieties are pro-
duced, but the breeds producing com
bination beef and milk strain are most
ly in demand, and the constant intro.
duction of new thorobred bulls Of the
finest types has had the effect of plac.
ing the South Dakota herds above the
average.
In times past the producers in, the
north and eastern part Of the state sold
much of their stock to Iowa feeders,
purchases. But today corn is produced
and proftably so, in South Dakota, and
there are many fine feeding farms thru.
out the state. ~.&-f - ,.,.
Stock raising is a leading industry
and the man with one cow is in the
business with the greatest possibilities
and, with common, cow sense, can &C
cumuIate q fortune. .s. @-s. =.
The days of sunshine, the nutritious
grasses, water, accessibility to mar.
kets, make it an ideal place to produce
stock, and it specially appeals to the
man of limited means, where he car

brings as high a price a pound as the
large dealer. ",.~
Great for Sheep.
Joseph E. Wing of Ohio, foremost
feeder and writer on sheep, when asked
where he got his best feeders, replied
"from Dakota. - The Live Stock Re.
port, leading authority on such mat
tiers, says: "For ten years South Da'
kota has been sending us our best sheep,
beef and mutton.'
AS feeding and finishing ground fol
our own and near western sheep, South
Dakota has no equal: Looked at from
all sides, for either feeding or growing
mutton sheep, South Dakota has few
equals and no superior. Our natNe
resources along these lines, it certainly
would be hard to overestimate; ou1
cool, dry climate, light snowfall, and
absence of long seasons of wet and wind
combine to make our endless, rolling
prairies ideal sheep walks.
With lands fast going up in price
and beef and mutton following, as they
always do, South Dakota s cheap lands
certainly hold out great inducements
to those who contemplate turning theil
attention to mutton production.
