The writer of these lines, without
money, landed at the end of the track

acre would not buy it and there isn't
any mortgage on it. When you get

not mortgage it, except for purchase
money in case you buy it. Do not sell
il, but keep it. 1t will be the safest
asset you can leave your family. 1t
will be there after the storms, after
the panic, after the bank failure.
The schools of South Dakota are
the pride of all our people. The COM
mon schools. the normal schools, the
School Of Mines, the Agricultural Col
lege, the State University, are each
and all in a healthful growing condi-
ton. The Agricultural College ct
Brookings with James Wilson, Jr., as
the head of the farming department,
is beautifully located and is an inspir-
atiCn to every farmer and stock grow
er who sees ii.
Our permanent school fund amounts
TO $4,707 900. every cent Of which is
drawing interest at the rate of per
cent. and we have 100000 acres of
choice school lands unsold.
The penal and charitable institu-
tons Of the state are modern. Neat
ness and economy and efficient man
agement are characteristic of every
one of them. There is neither waste
nor graft in public institution in the
state.
We are Just beginning TO grow. Our
people now have something to do with
and as fast as hands and money can
make improvements they are being
made. A sure index Of a good coun-
! try is when railroads build in it. A
thousand miles of new railroad are
being built in the state as a cost of
many millions of dollars Three or
four new steel bridges are being built
across the great Missouri river that
Lewis and Clark assembled a hundred
years ago. Each will cost about ST.
100000 Along these new roads

which have been known only by the
buffalo and the Indian will bring forth
wheat and corn and all the products
of the farm. Truly, Man proposes
but God disposes."
The financial affairs Of the people
and of the state are in a most flatter
ing condition. The banks are full ot
the peoples money and there has not
been a bank failure within the state
during the past two years. The
state is practically out of debt. The
bonded Indebtedness is but 1912 900
and the money is in the sinking FUND
to take up these bonds as soon as
they are due. For several months
past the state treasurer has been try
ing to get the owners of these bonds
to take their money, but most bond
holders only want their interest. He
did succeed recently in getting the
owner of $4,000 of these bonds tc
take his money and thus saved the
state in interest $4,000.
The state has outstanding emer
gency warrants in the sum of $3.50,
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1906-11-21

600 and has cash on hand amounting
to $4,000; so the Indebtedness OF
the state is but $4,000. Many of
the counties of the state are out of
debt. Money is plentiful and taxes
are low. 1t is needless to say that
the present administration stands for
economy. The watchword of every
state institution is first, efficiency,
and, secondly, economy.
South Dakota is bee hive. There
is work for every man, woman and
child. What the state needs is a
home. There is room for thousands
in South Dakota. If you are inter
ested. come and see The railroads
sell half-fare tickets every Tuesday.
In a word, If you want to work, if
you want home, come to South Da-
kota, but do not come unless you are
an optimist and have the blood in
you that knows no defeat. Storms
have come and they will come again,
but the sun will shine brighter to-
morrow than it does today.

field, Aberdeen, to Cakes in North
Dakota. BY the way, there is not
finer stretch of country anywhere
than lies between the above named
points, except in other parts of South
Dakota. Illinois and Iowa and Indi-
ana are called hog states, and Wis
consin is a COW state. South Dakota
is not a hog state and COW state.
According TO the figures Of the United
States authority, live stock per capita
in South Dakota is valued at $16O and
the rich, long settled state of Iowa is
second with a valuation of 1922.
We are just beginning to raise fruit.
There is one orchard in Turner coun-
ty containing 100 acres that produced
$4,000 bushels of apples in one sea-
son. The state is sure to become a
fruit growing state, owing to the in
MIGRATING climate.
Let me ask the reader il he or she
thinks there is anything seriously the
matter with the climate, or the peo-
pie of the state that produces all these
things.
There are other things Of equal II
not greater importance than cattle
and hogs and dollars.
The homes, the schools, the
churches and the character Of the
people of a community are the real
test after all. The quality of the cit
izenship of the average South Dako-
tan is unsurpassed The first settlers
were the Quickest boys and girls
from the other states and from the
nations across the ocean. They came
here without means, but with the
courage and determination that al
ways insures success. The march of
the pioneers of South Dakota, like the
exodus of the children of Israel, has
been from a wilderness into a land OF
beautiful homes supplied with al the
necessaries and many of the comforts
of life. How / wish the renter and
the small farmer of the eastern states
could see what the pioneers Of this
state have accomplished within the
last quarter of a century. If ! were a
renter and paid annually a big rent
to a rich landlord. or had but q few
acres, provided always that | had

kota and buy a farm. If ! had a part

there is considerable timber and prob
ably greater supply of Ignite coal
In a word, those of us who have lived
here for twenty-four years are just
beginning to realize what a wonderful
area of land our state contains.
The native grasses of the state are
unsurpassed. Cattle and horses and
sheep fatten without corn on the grass
that produced the famous buffaloes of
only forty years ago. Timothy and
clover and alfalfa and Kentucky blue
grass are fast getting a foothold.
Blue grass follows civilization. South
Dakota does not claim to be wheat
state or corn state. She is both, and
she is more; she is a mixed farming
state. She produces in great quanti-
ties wheat, corn, oats, barley, flax,
potatoes, horses, cattle, and dairy
products, sheep and wool and hogs.
Last year the state raised 43, 600 900
bushels of wheat. which sold for $685.
900, 1000: 51000,000 bushels of corn
worth $4,000 900: 100000 bushels
of oats worth $9.450 900; 100, 100000
bushels of barley worth $1,000 coo;
2,250,0 900 bushels of fax worth 1900
600; potatoes worth s1250.000, and
eggs and poultry worth $3.600,000 She
sold $4,000 car loads Of horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep. which put S25,000.000
into circulation in the state. 1t may
be Of interest TO know that 80 600 cars,
if in one line or in one train, would
reach from Sioux City, Iowa, across

The story of the growth and devel-
opment of the State of South Dakota
is most interesting. It's 1850 square
miles is part of the great Louisiana
Purchase which Jefferson bought for
a mere song, /. e., s15000,000. South
Dakota's corn crop last year brought
$16,000,000. The first farms were
opened in what is now the state, less
than forty years ago. and settlers did
not come in great numbers until 1880
1888. Dakota territory was divided in
1889 and the state of South Dako-
ia has had a remarkably healthful
growth from its admission into the
Union until now. For many years it
was the talk among doubling Thorn
ass that the climate was too dry and
that the state could never become an
agricultural state. but our pioneer cit
liens have demonstrated that wher-
ever the prairie fires are kept out
wherever the pillow goes, wherever
trees are planted, rainfall increases.
Let me ask what is the matter with
state that has produced for eight
consecutive years more wealth per
capita than any other state? What is
the matter with a state that has more
money per capita in her banks than
any sister state? What is the matter
with state that has fewer people
than any other state and fewer peo-
pie per capita in her houses? South
Dakota is the state that leads in all
these things. South Dakota is neither
too far north nor too far south. Her
climate is better. winter and summer,
than Kansas and Nebraska. or North
Dakota and Montana. Kansas and
Nebraska are great states, but a look
at the map of the Mississippi valley
convinces one that the soil, or the
land. of South Dakota is better than
the land or soil of the states above
mentioned. The great Missouri river
crosses South Dakota from northwest
to southeast and the state is watered
and drained by it and its branches. A
look at the map shows one that the
western half of South Dakota is Pc
culiar for two things. 1t contains the
Black Hills, a most interesting 100
square miles of country, famed for
its rich valleys and its gold mines
which produced during the last year
$7,190,000, and secondly. the greater
part of the western half of the state
drains to the north and east and is
much better watered than our sister
states and to the south of US, and

SOUTH DAKoTA'S TREMENDOUS
CROPS.
BY Herbert Vanderhoof in the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.

AS the harvest time approaches the
attention of the people all over the
United States is being turned to the
newspaper reports of the wonderful
fields of grain which are to be cut in
the great Western states that supply
the markets for the remaining states
and export hundreds of thousands of
bushels to foreign countries.
In all of these accounts you will
find South Dakota is accorded a
prominent place, and justly, for she
can boast of some remarkably fine
wheat fields and an excellent show
ing in other grains and produce of
various sorts.
The natural sources Of wealth in
this prosperous state are so many
that it is almost bewildering to a
person who investigates the subject
for the first time, and with little def
mite previous knowledge of the rapid
march of events in South Dakota.
Probably very few realized ten years
ago the great future which lay
before this state-its marvellous adap-
liability in soil and climate to the
growth of so many industries and the
production of such varied crops. But
certainly the last few years. have
proved to even the most skeptical
that the resources OF South Dakota
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1906-11-21

need only TO be tried in order to yield
wonderful results.
The eastern counties were earliest
in developing, and certain districts in
the central portion followed very
closely. The discovery of the mineral
wealth in the region' of the Black
Hills took many people there, and
several large cities soon appeared;
but it is only quite recently that the
home seekers have begun to realize
the great advantages which await
them in this state, and the tide of i'm
migration is increasing steadily from
year to year, and with it rises the
value of the land.
