Encoaragenent for Redoubied Efforts
for the Following Year

The South Dakota State Board OF
Agriculture, with permanent head
quarters established, with magnificent
buildings and the splendid tribute paid
II by the last state legislature in the
way OF substantial appropriations for
permanent structures necessary TO i'm
prove, care for and protect its already
large investment, has spared no pains

Welfare for tie advancement Of the
state In all Its different resources.
The Board absolutely guarantees to
its patrons the largest and finest agri-
cultural exhibit ever put before the
public and which no other state In the
Union can equal. 1t Is likewise true
In every department OF livestock. In

hibit will surprise and astonish even
the people of this state, and more 30,
every visitor from abroad.
Every department is safely estimai-
ed TO be threefold that OF sany prev

housed In the largest and handsomest
structure on the grounds, will be
credit to the women OF this state, and
no citizen will ever regret the time or
he expense alone In visiting this de-
oartment. Last, but not least, the
standard free attractions are OF the
very best character new, startling,

The Board has spared no pains to
offer these many features, and In re-
turn, its encouragement should be the
liberal support Of every man, woman.

the time to attend. 1t takes two
things to make fair. First: the man.
agement must produce that which will
please and entertain the people along
every liue; and second: the people
must attend and exhibit and the
Board earnestly pleads that South Da-
kotans show their appreciation Of the
