Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1905-03-24

South Dakota bears the distinction
Of producing, year after year. more
wealth per capita than any state In the
union. The. production of cereals.
potatoes, hay, fodder. livestock. butter.
eggs, poultry. minerals and other prod.
uots for the past three years has ~.
eraged nearly sl2o 100000 annually
Estimating the population as given by
the last census a. 40l. 900, the per cap
ita production 10 over $500.
The actual per capita production In
1901 by the most conservative 60 timstes
was 1884. Counting the population at
four and one.hslf persons to the family
it would give the sum Of $l,27s - the
average earning for the head OF each
family OF household.
It is small wonder then that South
Dakota is the most talked OF state b.
tween the two oceans. young hustling
commonwealth that has lived down oil
that was ever said against it-and that
mighty little. To-day the state ranks
with the great agricultural states OF
Iowa. Illinois, Kansas. Nebraska and
Minnesota, with the added prestige of
tho famous Black Hills mining dis.
trict, the richest one hundred square
miles in the world" Tho Black Hills
alone will turn out SO, ,O00, 900 Of gold
this year.

Of white corn and it would be white

of white corn and it would be white
still, although it was mixed and i'm.
pure it would score 10 points on purity
of color. Again 10 points are allowed
for length Of ear, when there is not one
corn grower in five hundred that
knows the best length of ear to grow in
the latitude in which he lives.
The writer raised quarter acre Of
corn last season that yielded 27} bu. or
at the rate of 10 bu to the acre, and
yet the ears would not average over
seven inches in length. Professor
Coles standard Of length of ear was ten
inches We think the grower in Lin
coin county that tries to grow corn ton
inches long will fail to have sound
corn one year out of every four.
The score card gives nothing for
protein aud oil, Corn is composed
largely of oil, protein and starch. and
for fattening purposes, starch is worth
about 10 per cent, while the oil and
protein portion of the kernel 10 80 per
cent of it's value, 90 says Bulletin No..
n Of the Alnes station. Many farmers
In Lincoln county are raising corn that
ls so per cent starch. By careful selec-
tion and breeding the starch can be
almost eliminated from the kernel.
The score card. should give at least Is
points to stimulate the growing of these
rich qualities.
The average score of the thirty. five
exhibits in the Canton contest was
80, 81. but with concert of action We
think this score could be raised to 95 or
D6 per cent in three years.

Editor LEADER:
Enclosed find acopy of the score card
of my exhibit at the Beresford Corn
Contest Dec 6, 1904. The seed from
which this exhibit was grown, came
from the field of Geo. knight of Eden
township, and was selected by Geo.
Millett and Mr.. Knight. You will not.
ice that this exhibit scored little moro
than did Joe Millett's prize winning
corn at the Canton contest and was
scored by the same Judge This corn
would have been entered At the Lincoln
County contest had it not been sold at
the close Of the Beresford institute for
the benefit of The local Orphans Home.
which was part Of the program. but as
this corn won the s14 90 cash prize of.
cred by the Beresford Board of Trade
and sold for soc an ear and the proceeds
given to the Orphans, and this disposal
of my corn allowed Joe Millett to win
the LEADER cup, but we are content in
making others happy.
Would it not be good plan to call
the executive committee and the offic.
ers of the Institute and Corn Growers
Association together at an early date to
formulate some definite plan for . uni.
form system Of corn improvements also
to revise the score card to conform with
the latitude in which We live, tho score
card is . very important study and
every corn grower should paste one in
his hat. The ono used in our corn judg.
ing is faulty, for example: 100 points
is the standard Of perfection: ten points
are given for purity Of color whom color
adds not one iota to the value Of corn
All that purity of color signifies 10 that
it is not mixed with other varieties of
another color, one variety Of white corn
might be mixed with another variety

TWO DEspERADoEs CAPTURED.
Nels EversOn Town Marshal of
Harrisburg Did q Fine Bit OF
Thief Catching Last
Week.

Nels Everson, the City Marshal at
Harrisburg, is entitled to credit for .
neat, clean piece of thief catching last
week Nels has made it rule to round
up all toughs or suspicious characters
in that town when the shades of night
begin to fall, and to this golden rule 10
due the capture of two Of the slickest
looking bandits seen in Canton for
some time. Nels suspected the fellows
when he first saw them and kept close
watch on their movements and this
precsution rewarded him with the dis
covery of twelve sticks of dynamite,
weighing ten pounds, and 100 dynamite
caps, fuse. soap and hammer. which he
saw them hide under his elevator.
When Nels found this supply of bank
wrecking material, he made up his
mind that he had business on hand and
he went after the bandits He closed
In on them at the depot without their
suspecting who he was and placed both
of them under arrest. The most des.
perate man of the two was ready 70
fight but Nels had the drop and he sur
rendered and Nels took the other fol-
low in as he came out of the depot.
The first man arrested proved to be an
escaped prisoner from Sioux City. and
regarded as desperate man by the
Sioux City officers who came to Canton
after the fellows Friday. Nels put his
"birds" in the lock up and kept guard
over them all night. Sheriff Opsal was
summoned and went to Harrisburg
Thursday, and he and Nels landed the
robbers in the Canton bastile in the
afternoon. Friday at noon couple Of
Sioux City officers landed in Canton
and identified the men as escaped pris.
oners from the Sioux City Jail, and had
them on the two o'clock train bound for
their former quarters. The Sioux City
officers were delighted over the capture
of Powers because they regard him as
one of the worst crooks in the west.
Murphy, his companion is young in the
business.
Marshal Everson is certainly entitled
to great credit for his work, and he
may find q reward attached to his
work.

SURE CROP AREA EXTENDING.
Soil changes with settlement and
cultivation During the past thirty
years the area of sure crops has ex-
tended steadily to the north and the
west. In the eastern and southern
parts of the state it took from ten to
twenty years for farmers to get the
BEST results from their land. 1t was
not believed that corn could be raised
successfully, and fruit culture was
not thought of until q few years
ago. Land offered at prices from $3.50
to $5 90 an acre was a drug on the mar.
ket. The same land is now selling from
$50 to 500 an acre.
Now corn is successfully grown all
over the state, while lands that five
years ago hunted buyers at s 90 to
$5 90 an acre are changing hands at
$15 to $50 an acre.
For time artesian wells supple.
men.ed the rainfall, giving to many
parts of the state especially In the
James river valley-an in exhaustible
supply of water of even temperature
and free from harmful minerals. These
wells were found most valuable for
stock growing and sometimes for pur-
poses Of irrigation in periods Of
drought. The water is usually of .
temperature Of above rs degrees and In
the winter stock drink freely of 1t,

Of artesian wells have been sunk, and
tho country is fast becoming dotted
with little lakes and ponds. many Of
which have been stocked with fish.
Some of the wells. notably those in
towns and cities. are Of 6 and S'inch
bore and furnish supply of water for
municipal purposes at high pressure.
Other wells furnish power for electric
light plants and Touring mills.
Artesian wells with q pressure of
1875 to 1870 pounds to the square inch
are common all over the state. Form.

CHEAPEST AND BEST.
South Dakota lands at present prices
are the cheapest lands for general farm
ing and stock raising on the face OF the
earth. Comprising, - the state does,
more than 10000 square miles and
49, 900, 600 acres-there are lands In the
greatest quantity to suit all classes and
at prices ranging from 8 to 500 an
acre. The price depends largely upon
locations, improvements and nearness
to railroads and whether in the newer
or older settled portions Of the state.
There is no difficulty in securing just
the kind of farm or ranch you have
in mind; while to the investor the state
presents opportunities that will never
come again in the life Of the present
generation ever. Fortunes have al.
ready been made in South Dakota
lands and still larger gains await those
who take advantage Of the prices at
which desirable buildings can now be
secured.
Money invested in lands is always
safe. It neither burns up nor is blown
away, nor is stolen. When periods OF

SOIL AND CLIMATE.
The soil Of South Dakota east OF tho
Missouri river is . deep, black loan
with . porous subsoil, which serves as
reservoir for moisture to be given up IN
heavy dews when most needed. Except
In limited areas little gravel is found,
nor ID the land sandy. There is no ap'
preciable difference between the soil
of South Dakota and that Of southern
Minnesota and northwestern Iowa.

DEATH OF 6. N. BINKS.
Pioneer Methodist Minister and
Lecturer Passes Away at Of
tumwa, Iowa, Last Week.

Tho LEADER has received q letter
from Grace Binks of Ottumwa, Iowa,
giving information of the death of her
uncle and of his request that the Editor
of the LEADER be notified of his death,
while the grand old man lay waiting
the end.
Few men were 80 we'll known in the
early days of our territorial history as
Rev. George NJ. Binks. He travelled
all over the territory and preached and
lectured and found time to deliver an
address to the people on special occas.
ions. -
In the latter part of June 1870, the
writer printed Fourth of July bills for
q celebration in Yankton, and among
the speakers named in that bill was
that of Prof. G.. M. Binks It was his
first public address in the territory,
and it won him friends and popularity.
In 1878. he made his headquarters at
Springfield and from there travelled and
preached all over the country, finally
locating in Sioux Falls.
Rev. Thomas Cuthbert of Canton.
came to the territory in 1870, and was
prominent Methodists Minister for
many years. He and Rev. Binks
became warm friends during their
early missionary work, both being
Englishmen, and they travelled and
preached wherever there was work to
do. Rev. Cuthbert has retired from
active church work, owing to his ad-
vanced years, and his old friend has
gone to better world.
The last day that Rev. Binks was in
this state he spent in Canton and was
visitor at this Office. He went to Of
tumwa from Canton where he lived un.
til the end came. All the pioneers Of
territorial days held him in highest e.
TEEN and his friends will read Of his
death with genuine sorrow. M
