TO FORM NEGRO COLONY.
SuIIy County Man Interested in a Big
Undertaking.

Pierre. s. d, Aug. 21.-B. P. Blair, a
colored man of Sully county, South Da-
kota, has been in the east lately with
the intention of interesting negroes in
6 colony scheme.
For over twenty years Mr.. Blair, who
acquired 1000 or more acres of land
from the government, has been the only
negro in Sully county, living on his
large krrn there and becoming wealthy
from the sale of his agricultural prod
ucts. For a number of years he has
been making plans for the colonization
Of the country in the vicinity of his
farm by importing thousands of re-
spectacle negroes, preferably selected
from Iowa, who, by combining their
efforts in a community of interests, will
be enabled to prosper more than they
possibly could in the average Ameri-
can city.
Recently in Des Moines Mr.. Blair was
in conference With the most prominent
negroes in the state, spending three
days in going over his plans, explaining
the nature of the country, and propos-
ing methods for disposing of local prop
erty by transferring it for real estate
in Sully county, South Dakota. Sully
county is bounded on the east by the
Missouri river, a large bend in this
stream being selected as a site for the
proposed town. At an approximate
cost of from $3.50 an acre upward the
land in this vicinity. which is as fertile
as any in the state, can be bought.
By exercising due care in his selec-
ton Of members of the new commu-
nitv Mr.. Blair believes that in the
course of a few years a prosperous
town of several thousand inhabitants
can be built up. All the business in the
town will be placed in the hands of ne
groes. The mayor and other city Off
Gals, editor of the newspaper and the
managers of the various industries be-
longing to this race. 1t is not the in
tention of the originators of the move
ment to place any prohibition upon the
coming of white settlers, the expecta-
ton being that the negroes will be in
sufficient majority to keep the city con-
troll in their own hands,.
Should the project be seriously taken
up by the Des Moines colored popula-
ton it is extremely probable that sew
eral hundred from that city alone will
elnigrate to South Dakota. 1t has been
stated that special inducements will be
offered to men skilled in the different
trades.

EXCELLENT SMALL GRAIN.
Crops in Dawson County Are Yielding
Well.

Mitchell. S. D., Aug. 19.-Threshing
has advanced far enough in the terri-
tory surrounding Mitchell to satisfy
the most ~ncredulous we nave a first
class small grain crop. Henry Sohrts,
nine miles southeast of Mitchell,
threshed thirty-five acres of fife wheat
thai yielded seventeen bushels per
acre. Louis Ellsworth, near Riverside,
six miles northeast from Mitchell,
threshed thirty-two acres of blue stem
wheat that yielded twenty-five bushels
per acre. j. G. Helmet, three miles
south Of Mitchell, threshed thirty-three
bushels Of barley per acre and thirty
five bushels of early white oats per
acre. Lou Carlston, three miles north
east Of Riverside in Hanson county,
threshed twenty-five acres of wheat and
got sixteen bushels an acre, and thirty
acres Of oats that yielded fo:ty-five
bushels an acre. Reese Jones, ore mile
south of Mitchell, had a yield cS tween
ty bushels of macaroni wheat per
acre on twenty acres. John Harris, six
miles east of Mitchell in Hanson coun-
ty. threshed a large field of wheat thai
yielded twenty bushels per acre. w.
=. Davis, fifteen miles southwest of
Mitchell, stated that wheat was yield
Ing sixteen and twenty bushels per acre
ana oats from forty-fve to sixty BUSH
els. 1t is the belief of farmers and
elevator men here That the whea yield
will average about sixteen bushels per
acre.

TO FEED THE THREsaERs.
Furner County Man Has Plan Which
Is Popular.

Chamberlain, S. D., Aug. 1S.-The
wives OF South Dakota FARMERS are
breathing a sigh of relief because OF
the adoption by John Hammer, a Tur-
ner county thresherman, of an insen-
lous method of feeding his threshine
crew. The wives of the farmers in gem
eral are hoping that the method will
be adopted by every ~thresherman in the
state, for it would relieve them of the
terrors Of h threshing period, when
they are expected to feed a large
number of men in addition to per
forming their regular household du-
ties.
Hammer intends that the wives Of
farmers for whom he threshes shall
not be worked to death during the
time himself and his crew of men are
at work upon a farm. He has ar
ranged to board and provide for his
men himself. In accordance with this
pan ne has constructed a car 10 by sc
feet in size. In this he will have his
dining room and kitchen. Tents will
be carried for sleeping apartments. The.
car Will be on wheels and can easily
be hauled from place to place as the
scene of threshing is changed.
instead of threshing time being .
terror. as is now the case under the
old method of the farmers wives car
ing for the members of the t~hreshing
crew, all the farmers will have to do
under Hammers plan will be to haul
the grain away after the t%hreshine
machine has separated it from III;
stalks.
