LARGE ACREAGE
To be Sown to Wheat in the Pierre
Neighborhood.

Sioux Fails Press: Farmers coming
into this city from the country north
and east of here report a larger acreage
OF wheat being sown for many years
past, and that this grain is practically
all in the ground, waiting for warmer
weather tostart it to gr, ing, with a
few of the earlier fields beginning to
make a showing. They do not feel
that up to the present there is any dan
ger OF the gram having been injured by
the cold weather and think that it will
come along all right with few warm
days.
Besides the increased wheat acreage
a large amount of corn and fax will be
soWn. much Of it on breaking. Within
a short distance of this city dozen or
more power breakers are at work as
as well as hundreds of horse drawn
ploWs, tearing up the sod which has
been allowed to lie as grazing ground
for SO many years and most of that
new breaking will be cropped in some
manner this this year.
The power plows are at work west Of
the river, and are turning over q large
amount OF sod. One man near Midland
with the use of a power breaker is put.
ting in 600 acres of sod flax to give the
crop question as thorough a test as pos.
slble. Others are putting in smaller
fields of flax and corn. The old time
ranchers are complaining of the invas-
ion, Lut know that have t. get out from
under, and are doing SO as fast as pos
sible to get rid of their stock,

A Gem from Governor Crawford's
Message.

1.-The development OF intellectual
power and physical strength alone may
produce man without scruple and with
out conscience. The man who wins
llrst place in a rowing club or football
team and takes the first prize in mathe-
mates, may, nevertheless, be as cold,
heartless and selfish as Nero. We
sometimes meet men OF this kind from
universities who compel admiration for
intellect and nerve, but who, at the
same time, shock us by the low and
brutal standards OF morality; but utter
lack OF sympathy; by contempt forthe
weak; by sneers at all that is pure and
sweet and unsellish, and by low esti-
mate Of mankind; men who have brains
without heart; power without scruple;
force without sympathy; who believe
that the end iustifies the means, and
that the only aim worth considering in
LIE is TO achieve what the world calls
success, no matter how; who measures
other men by what they are worth in
dollars and cents, or by what they can
accomplish without reference to princi-
pie or conscience; but schools and uni
VarSltles are not maintained by the
state to create such heartess human
engines OF force and power. They are
maintained for the purpose of develop
ing men who will be just and humane
as well as intellectual aud powerful.
80 likewise our penal and charitable in
stltutlons are maintained, not only TO
restrain unfortunate men and women
and helpless children, and TO provide
Tor the necessary physical wants, but
also, wherever possible, to help them
back to lost estate. and to bestow upon
them the charity which is kind and
suffereth much.'

Farming Without Horses.

Sully county in South Dakota claims
to have the most perfect example ex-
tant of horseless farm, writes a cor
respondant of the st. Panl Pioneer
Press. The Grosecloses brothers have
a big tract of land which they are
cultivating entirely without the aid Of
horses or other animals. Their ploW-
ing, narrowing, seeding, harvesting
and marketing are all done with motor
machinery. Every trip to town is
made in motor car 1t is claimed
that they were able to but the prairie
into better shape with their heavy
machinery than could be done by
horses with several times the number of
laborers at present employed.

THE VISITORS OPINION.
Was Pleased Beyond Expectation
And Admits It.

An Iowa man, and especially an Iowa
eultor' seldom car see anything to com
ment fayorably upon in any section OF
the country outside Of Iowa. The fol-
lowing by Charles Herman, must assur-
edly be taken as an unbiased opinion.
"one OF the most surprising things to
TO one who has been visiting South Da.
kota once or twice q year for the past
ten years is the rapidiry with which the
country in the central portion Of the
state has yielded to civilization. The
SOIL itself, we mean. Only four years
ago a virgin prairie, or spreading for
est, now the sod has disappeared almost
as completely as it has in Iowa, and the
fields are as mellow and as obedient to
the plow as if they had not felt the foot
OF the buffalo for hundred years,
Just now the wheat fields Of that
state is showing up magnificiently; the
middle sectionis practically one wheat
helo, and also, one could drive all day
without losing from his ears the pleas
ant click of the corn planter, or from
his eyes the pleast sight of the monster
breaking piows. Diversified crops are
the rule wheat corn, barley, oats and
TAX. How can a country help being
rich when it combines within its own
range of possibilities, staple crops of
three distinct zone. Corn has made.
other states rich, wheat has enriched
the older states. South Dakota has in
past years produced as mnch corn as
any stone in the Mississippi valley, and
more wheat than any sister state.
!" What wonder is it, then, that already
the dwellings on nearly all the farms
are big, substantial, handsome homes:
that the big red barn is much in evil
dence that there is top buggy in the
shed South Dakota is the greatest
