CORRECT METHODS

Modesto Marin finished cutting
small grain last Tuesday, a total of
more than 400 acres being in shock.
Parties who have visited Prairie
Grove farm the past week state that
Mr.. Marin has the heaviest crop ever
seen in this locality. At the compile
ton of work last Tuesday the grain
shocks stood so thick on the ground
it was necessary to clean a passage
way to haul the binder from the field.
1t is not unusual for Mr.. Marin to
harvest excellent crops, but this year
his progressive and scientific methods
of farming have brought unprecented
reward for his labor. LIE Beau Pie

INF RMATION


Pierre, the capital of South Dakota
ID the geographical center of one Of
the richest and most progressive of
the American states. The purpose of
this bulletin is to relate, conserva-
\ lively and automatically the facts re-
& lating to conditions in the several
counties Immediately surrounding
the capital in particular, while in
general way indicating the conditions
In the state at large.
Hughes, Hyde and Sully counties
lie upon the east bank Of the Mis-
souri, river and have been settled for
more than twenty-five years. They
have therefore been fully tried out
and their agricultural capabilities are
we'll established. Soil and climate
have been tested in every direction,
and the region proven beyond expert
ment.
Stanley county lying Immediately
ACROSS the river from the capital is an
empire in itself, embracing as it does
one hundred townships of land, has
been open to agricultural settlement
for only about five years, but the uni
form success Of all crops planted dur
ing that period justifes the belief
that it liz in no sense behind its neigh
bors on the east Of the river as a crop
producing region.
THE SOIL
Permanent agricultural success
must always be predicated upon the
soil and the climate and where these
are properly combined failure is inn
possible. The soil of this region is
unsurpassed for fertility upon 1.-THE
American continent. It possesses a
deep substratum Of clay upon which is
snperimposed deep top soil of yege-
table mould. It is exceedingly rich
~ nitrogen and phosphorus the chief
elements in crop production and the
deep clay subsoil is an inexhaustible
reservoir of these and other elements
which contribute to the growth Of
vegetation. Recently the experiment.
