Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1905-11-24


The corn crop of the United States
this year is not only the largest but the
best on record. We are having the
greatest industrial activity in the ma.
tons history. 1t is a record year In
textile manufactures and in the demand
for products. Retail and wholesale mer-
chants report increasingly heavy sales.
There is more money in circula ton than
in previous years. There is more activ-
ity in all leading industries. Freight
movements on the railroads centering in
Chicago are on an unprecedented scale.
All these are indicators of continued
prosperity. but the greatest of all is the
unprecedented yield of corn.
The product of our corn belt this year
is 2,7O7, 933, 900 bushels of corn, or six
times as much as is produced In all the
rest of the world in one year. The
money value at current prices of this
single crop is 81 ,245, 649,1S0. The corn
crop is not only large, but it is of supe.
rior quality. Large as the crop Is, there
is demand for all of it, and for the 3D.
600. 0OO bushels held over from last year
Kansas, $500 900 bushels more corn
than last year; Missouri, 100000 In
diana, A, 100000; Illinois, 100000
and Ohio, 12,O0O,O0O bushels more. The
great corn States of Iowa and Nebraska
had a phenomenal yield in 1904, but
each reports a gain of 100000 bush Els
this year.
With an increased demand for home
consumption in all the corn States, and
with prospects of an increased foreign
demand, the heavy yield of corn means
ready money to the farmers Of the corn
belt, Ready none in the hands Of the
farmers means heavier purchases at re-
tail stores, and that means heavier de-
mands on the wholesale establishments
and on the factories and foundries.-

Monday morning we met q. c. Haw-

was not at work, and he had time to
speak of the following activity in the
building line: l.. r. Fenlason is building
a considerable addition to his Garden
Pace residence. one room to include tho
luxury of an old-fashioned fireplace. The
Pickle Cos. tanks are being enclosed with
frame building. Mrs. Whitacre is max
ing extensive improvements on her now
home. the Judge Wallis property. The
Neeley residence has been completed and
will be occupied this week. Work is in
progress both on the H. W. Lance and C.
L. Govreau residences. F. r. Merk has
his plans in hand and will doubtless soon
have his work under contract. Many
changes and improvements are being
made in tho Liberty high school building.
All the above is being done by one con-
tractor and there are others who have
not reported the Jobs in hand.
