such rapidty that not even the most

they were paralyzed into inaction and

NOT ONE-CROP STATE.

An interesting feature of the chang
ed conditions that exist in the Ia
kotas, which will attract the attention
of Dakota humecomers next June in
no small degree, is that the farmers
of the two states are no longer de
pendent upon wheat for a livelihood,
says the Aberdeen News. When the
territory of Dakota was split into two
states, twenty years ago, the farmers
were dep .ndent nearly altogether up
on the wheat crop. If that failed,
they want broke. Now the farmer,
while still raising wheat, raises corn
and barley, too. He raises hogs and
cattle and sheep, and potatoes aud
other vegetables for market, The
Dakota farmer yet does not exactly
laugh at wheat or p failure. but be
doesn't go broke, and his bank bal,
ance at the end Of the year shows no
uerceptible dminutiou. The Dakota
farmer has found himself, aud has
found the resources aud adaptibility
Of the country to be far greater than
he conceived Of in the days when he
depended upon wheat alone for a
crop. These facts arc well known to
Dakotans who have stayed here, but
some Of them will surprise those who
left, when they come back next June.

full if the price even gets back to the
