The binder is the principle article
of fame In South Dakota at the
present time and it is slowing away
a great deal Of grain in the stacks.
South Dakota is going to have a
splendid year Of agricultural products
as q general thing. There are some
portions Of che state which will not
come up to the usual high standard
but tile Increase In many portions
will not permi. the general average
to fall beneath that of former years,
and the general opinion seems to be
that 1t will be considerably higher.
The farmers are making good money
these years and they are being we'll

strikes them. WHAT with the d.

fear that a bad year will work any
