Welcome, everything! Welcome,

your shelter underneath the holly, to
your places round the Christmas fire,
where what is sits open-hearted! In
yonder shadow, do we see obtruding

Increase .............. $9,994, 261
The real increase is much greater
than TIE figures indicate, owing to the
necessity to scale previous estimates
in the light Of the revelations Of the
recent census.
The above estimates of new produc-
ton is always subject to scaling to the
extent Of the grain and forage fed to
live stock. So much as is SO fed Is OF
course counted twice.
Apportioning the production of new
wealth to the number of inhabitants
revealed by the recent census, that Is,
dividual, leaving the state for the sew
enth year in an enviable position
which no other commonwealth can
reach, and though we are this year
upon a high level, the condition is the
common n OF recent years and can
not be fairly said to be much above
the average.
Education-All Of the educational
interests Of the state are in prosperous
condition.
Public Health-There have been NO
ep1demlcS during the year. No alarm
ing feature has been manifested, ex-
cept the prevalence Of tuberculosis
among the Indian population.
The most notable death Of the year
Is that OF Hon. Otto C. Berg, former
secretary Of state, which occurred ON
July 1.
Conclusion-The close of the fiscal
year finds the people generally optf-
mistic. South Dakotans have in recent
years developed a pride In the state
which is highly gratifying. The South
Dakota" idea has taken strong hold
upon the people and state loyalty %
a~ll-abounding. This spirit is prophetic
Of a future for the state which shall
more than justify the high hopes q
the founders of the commonwealth.

the Christmas hearth.
Welcome, old aspirations, glittering
creatures Of an ardent fancy, to your

loves, however, f1eeting, to your hooks

heaped, the graces sport, as prettily,
as airily, as when there was no scythe

|CREAT PROGRESS OF SOUTH DAKOTA.
Fifth Annual Review Compiled by Secretary Doens
Robinson of the Historical Society.

during the ensuing quarter will r..
duce this floating Indebtedness to
about 100000, which it will be neces-
sary to carry until the legislature
makes some practical legislation re-
lating to state revenues. The vast re-
sources of the state, under any ration
al system of taxation should provide
ample evenue for every requirement.
Private Finances-Despite the prac-
teal loss Of the wheat crop of 1904 and
the serious injury to the live stock In
dustry last year through the beef trust
and butchers strike, the reserve funds
of the people are constantly augment
ing.
The deposits in the state banks have
increased during the year $2,401,-
42S.2l, and those in the national banks
almost an equal amount The COM
bined deposits of the state and nation
al banks at this time aggregate the
vast sum of S35, 900 900.
Flood at Fort Pierre-The only note
worthy disaster which has fallen upon
the state during the year was the
great food upon the Teton, OF Bad riv-
err, which resulted in the destruction
on Iuly 8.
Great Prairie Fire-A great prairie
fire swept through the western portion
of Brown county on November Is, de-
stroying a VISIT amount of property,
estimated to be worth a half million
dollars.
Crops and Other Productions-For
the first time since the organization Of
this society we have a recent census
Of the agricultural productions of the
state and the acreage of crops as q
basis for the estimates upon the years
productions.
Wheat-Our estimate of the wheat
crop of 1904, published in the review
Of the state last year., was "a $50, 900
bushels. The actual figures for that
crop as shown by the census taken
last May was 2~4,183.132 bushels. The
census shows that there were 2,874,184
acres harvested last year. The total
acreage this year is about the same.
From what I have seen and learned I
conclude that the average yield this
season is fifteen bushels. per acre, or
a total of 43, 200, 900 bushels. This has
averaged the producer IS cents in the
local market, making the value of the
entire crop $28,O21, 500.
Corn-The censu shows 1,739, $50
acres of corn last year and a yield OF
39,454,481 bushels. The acreage ap-
pears to be increased about 6 per cent
this year, or a total of 1,843,424 acres.
The crop is very good and we'll ma
tured, though 1t is not quite up to the
average in the southeastern counties,
those best adapted to this crop. The
government places the average at %
bushels per acre, which seems to be-
about right for the state at large and
will give up a total yield of 51,615,872
bushels, which at 80 cents Is worth
$15,484, 761 at home.
Mr.. Robinson deals with the other
crops and productions Of the state in
detail and says:
I summarize the following as the to-
tai value of the agricultural and min
eral productions of South Dakota for
