HELD UP.
Order Relating to Fences Not to BE
Enforced.

Order Relating to Fences Not to BE
Enforced.
Secretary Wilson Of the agricultural
department at Washington will hold
up the order requiring all fences to be
removed from ranches and farms in
the Black Hills which have not been
proved up on. A petition signed by
several thousand people in the Hills
was recently presented to the secre-
tary by Congressman Martin and
States Attorney Smith of Custer coun-
ty, asking that the order be rescinded.
The secretary consented to hold the
matter up for this year, and he inti-
mated that congress at it's next ses-
sion might make some provision which
would not disturb the settlers. except
where tract of ground embraced
more than 160 acres. when it would be
a question for special action by the
forest supervisor. 1t would be impos.
sible to reckon the hardship that this
order would have wrought had it been
enforced. There are several hundred
ranches in the Hills that have been oc-
cupied for twenty years or more and
have been improved with costly farm
buildings. For some reason the ground
had not been proved up on and the or
der to remove fences would have been
the same as to abandon the ground en-.
tirely.

SCHOOL LANDS ARE SELLING WELL

When the state lands board was out
over the state fixing aprpaisement
prices for selling state school lands
this year it was declared in the vicini-
ties in which the appraisements were
made that the minimum figures were
set so high that there would be practi-
cally no sales made.
The first offerings were in Union
county, where no bidders were found.
Tankton county was not much better,

he'd, Land Commissioner Bach
/ ready buyers who We're not only
willing to pay the appraisement prices,
but go far above them. In that county
124 tracts were disposed Of at prices
ranging from $40 an acre for poor
lands along the river to $57 an acre for
choice tracts.
The tract which was sold at $57 was
appraised by the state board at $35,
and showed the demand in which such
lands were held. A number of sales
were made in that county at $40 and
over. The sales will be continued
through most of this month. and the
: indications are that the sales will
reach a half million dollars.

The papers published west of the
Missouri river all contain accounts of
farming operations which will be car
ried on by residents of that section
this year. The Oacoma Argus tells of
one man in Lyman county who will
farm $50 acres this year, one-half of
which he will put in wheat and the
other half in corn. Other papers note
those who will farm 40 acres to 100
acres this year, and the question of
agriculture in that section of the state
will be given thorough test this
year.

part of the state is such that it has al

ever the water runs through or across
sandy soil, vegetation fourishes to the
