In South Dakota have been calming for
many years that this state was n conf
ing great corn state. but many outside
of the state and some few ,croakers"
inside would not believe it. The gov
eminent report, however, for December
1905, issued under the authority of the
agricultural department, and compiled
an the most authentic manner, gives
out what will be Il surprise to many
people, that the corn crop for South
Dakota for 1905 was 51.614,733 bushels,
with an average per acre of Bis BUSH
els. Comparing this record with the
reports on other states, 1t is founu:.
First-That South Dakota grows
more corn by 100000 bushels than the
state Of Minnesota, more corn than the
state of Michigan and only 100000
bushels less than the state of Wiscon-
sin. o..
Second--That South Dakota grows
more corn than any of the southern
states except Kentucky, Tennessee and
Texas. North Dakota. for 1906 produced
only 2,45S63S bushels, and South Da-

times as much corn as North Dakota,
Also, South Dakota produced more
corn than all of the six New England
states combined the great empire state

Il gain Of 1900 over the census of 1900.
AS was shown in last census, and as it
has always been in this county, the
males out number the members of the
gentler sex by some 700. The gain of
the county is on an average with all
the counties in the neighborhood. but
the counties to the west show a much
greater gain, Charles Mix more than
doubling its population in the same

OPPOSE FARMING IN
THE BLACK HILLS
Mining Association Believes the
Homestead Law Should
Be Abolished.
RETARDs MINING PLANS
They Compromise, However, and Re-
solve to Let Present Residents on
Government Land Enter Ag-
riculturaI Lands.

Deadwood, S. D.. Jan. 30-The Black
q report made by committee concern
ing legislation regarding homestead
laws in the Black Hills. There has
been considerable difference between
the mining men and farmers regarding
this matter and an association called
the Homebuilders' Protective associa-
tion has been formed by numerous
ranchmen for the purpose of obtaining
what they consider to be their rights.
The resolutions as adopted by the
mining association are In brief as fol-
lows
THAT the association is opposed to
the extension of the general homestead
laws in the Black Hills, believing that
such extension is contrary to mining in
terests. and that it believes in amend
ing proposed legislation on the subject
so that only present occupants of the.
Black Hills forest reserve shall be en-
titled to the right to enter their agri-
cultural lands. 1t does not favor this
homestead law, including new settlers,
but only such as are already on the re-
serve. Also 1t recommends that such
applicants pay at least $3.50 an acre,
the same price as that made by the
government for placer ground. This as
ISOLATION has also appointed commit
tee to look into the matter Of taxes
upon unproductive mining land. At
present ten acres Of unproductive min
Ing land Is paying as high taxation as
100 acres of agricultural land which is
productive. While recognizing the
rightful difference in taxation between
mining and agricultural land, yet the
association believes that the distinc-
ton should be made between mining
land which is productive and that
which Is not productive"
