NJ. c. RIcH's REPORT
South Dakota Not Properly Advertised
at the Congress.

to DIR. +. e. Walker, president of the
Commercial Club, in regard to the
Dry Farming Congress at Billings last
week. Mr.. Rich was a delegate from
this county and special delegate of
the CLUB.
Lithia, South Dakota,
November l, 1909.
DR.. F. r Walker,
President of Commercial Club.
Hot Springs, South Dakota.
Dear Sir: herewith hand you a partial
report of the Dry Farming Congress at
Billings, as far as its influence on Fall
River County is concerned. The thing
that impressed me the most was the
profound sleep of the people of this
state. Western South Dakota has all
other states west and south beat with
hands down. and yet not single
pamphlet, paper or q written word to
the hungry home seeker, setting forth
the good qualities of our state. Sta
tistios show that we can grow wheat
on most any kind of our soil or any
part of our state. Within ten years,
wheat will be the best paying grain
crop in the United States We rank
second now in quality. We have the
greatest rainfall Of any western state.
Our land is of the highest productive
quality, while our people sleep peace.
fully on, letting all the other states
loom into prominence by the activity
OF its citizens. The old time knockers
are about the only ones who are awake.
II the Commercial Clubs, business
organizations, etc, would have neat,
concise, pamphlet write-up about their
country, and let these pamphlets be
distributed by the delegates or rep.
resentatives going to these congresses
and meetings or gatherings Of what.
ever nature, it would not be long be-
fore our state would be more thorough
ly known. Western South Dakota has
been fairly we'll advertised, but it has
been mostly the knockers weepings and
wailings that have penetrated the
furthest and has been remembered.
This fact has been brought very
forcibly to my notice on this trip and
also on my trip of last July. It seems
to me that one of the ways to overcome
this, would be the united effort to dis
tribute county literature by every
delegate or representative that leaves
our soil. You will find this very i'm.
perative and steps should be taken
right away.
In regard to grains, methods, etc.,
great stress was laid upon the summer
