The Great Empire of Stanley

more beautiful to the enthusiast
than it does now, with its immense
carpet of green spread over its
vast area. The recent heavy rains
give much promise of an abundant
crop of small grain and hay. Corn
is being planted rapidly this week
and if present conditions continue
for a time the man who is lucky
enough to possess an acreage of
Stanley county dirt will imagine
that he is the salt of the earth.
Development in this new country
is going to be very rapid. -Kado-

The sheep shcaring season is on
in this county. The rains of last
week delayed the work to a certain
extent. but the shcarcrs will be
busy again this week. Many
growers, however, will not COM
mcncc operations until q little
later on. The number of sheep
in the country has been cut down
very decidedly during the past
few years, the sales in this locality
being especially heavy last fall.
This will make the total clip of
the county less than ever before
since the sheep business opened up
in the country west of the river.
The crop is reported to be of good
quality. however.
A number of the towns in the
Great Empire will celebrate the
Fourth of July this year. The
newspapers at Midland, Nowlin,
Hayes and Cottonwood all an
nouncc arrangements to be under
way already for celebrations at
those points. The Fort Pierre
business mems association has had
the same matter under cOnsidera-
tion lately, and the whole affair is
now in the hands of committee.
Other towns will fall in line
presently, and the day will be OBJ
served fittingly ut many points in
the county.
